Polaris 2 is Che Jujun's favorite car, maybe not one.
In 2007, Shanghai Automobile Museum had an imported auto show. I didn't know anything about cars at that time, but I first saw Volvo S40. Crash, that's him.
Design is the best language. Moderate figure, solid lines, unique taillights with keys and heroic headlights are simply the perfect car. Check the brand concept again, and the food will be ready soon.
It's a pity to stop production. So I bought S60.
20 16 One night on May 20th, 40. 1 and 40.2 concept cars appeared in an art exhibition hall in Gothenburg. This is the CMA platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, and it is the top priority.
40. 1 became XC40. Everyone asks, who is that 40.2? Because in the live PPT, the official said that there would be no S40 and V40 in the future.
At dinner, I sat next to Thomas English grath. He asked me how I felt. I said, S90 is beautiful, but the tail line is a bit complicated. He's a little unhappy. I didn't expect the media in China to be so direct. Out of politeness, 40.2 is amazing, but it is different from ordinary cars. Is it S40 cross-country?
He is a gentleman with a sly smile.
Now, we know the answer: 40.2 has been upgraded to an independent Polestar brand. As the brand's first pure electric vehicle, it directly meets the imaginary enemy Model 3.
After four years' absence, what is he like now?

Compared with 40.2, the biggest change in the front face of Polaris 2 is that the straight waterfall grille has become a scale grille, and the striking iron Logo on the hood has become Polaris. The biggest change on the side is that invisible door handles and laser rearview mirrors have become what ordinary production cars should look like.
The taillights change the most. From the simple 40.2 bracket lamp before, it has become a fashionable integrated lamp.
This has almost become a place that Che Jujun can't forgive, and it is also one of the reasons that may be abandoned. Because Volvo in my heart is a brand that insists on itself; The Polaris, which is higher than it, should stick to what it thinks is right. Now the new power, which is not the one-piece taillight? But Polaris has to follow the wind, and is a little lost in the public.
But I have to say, its appearance is still so beautiful.
The traditional car posture is extremely conservative in the new forces; However, it surprisingly raised the chassis and made a car SUV. Oh, no, the coupe SUV is quite harmonious and chic.
Don't think this style is easy to deal with. Che Jujun accidentally ran into an S60 cross-country car at Gothenburg airport, which scared him to death. I realized that the most beautiful car and the ugliest car in the world are so close.
To be honest, the shape of Polaris is more elegant than Model 3. Especially in the tail (regardless of the taillights), it is very natural to quickly carry the duck tail, unlike Model 3, which has an emergency stop or urgency.
On the front face, Polaris 2 is logically rigorous, and there is no aesthetic conflict between the first eye and the nth eye. The masked shape of Model 3 took Chinese people a long time to get used to it before it became a trend ―― Thankfully, Polaris 2 is impartial here. Moreover, the design concept of "outer circle inside" has felt the hearts of Chinese people.
Sprint to the axis, Polaris 2 has done its best. Limited by the wheelbase of 2735mm, it can only be so wide, otherwise it is really difficult for people to get on the back door. Since S90, Volvo has been building a wide D2A, which aims to make people feel visually that "this is a rear-wheel drive".
▲ Appreciation of interior design of Polaris 2. The video is about 14 minutes. It is recommended to watch under Wifi.
The interior is relatively more brilliant. Natural wood, industrial ash and cosmic black are intertwined, which has both aesthetic feeling and philosophical charm. 1 1 inch central control panel is well received, with smooth operation, in-place details, faster response than S60 and good experience. And I heard about Iflytek's human-computer interaction, so there should be no acclimatization.
Napa seats are also very popular. Although the original fabric seat is more in line with environmentalism logically, it is still a big psychological problem to spend more than 400 thousand yuan to buy a fabric seat in China. Just think about geometry a.
The hollow shift lever makes people fondle it.
But what really appreciates Che Jujun is the logic behind it. It is to omit the traditional switch key, step on the brake after getting on the bus, directly shift to D, and then you can leave directly. This is an electric car.
Don't underestimate this small change. There are not many traditional car companies that Che Jujun has tried.
The back row is a bad review. The entrance is too small and the floor is too high, even if the leg space is not rich, even the head space is stretched-I just hope that the mother-in-law in the back row will not do fashionable three-dimensional hairstyle.
It's nice to see a shining star in the back row. Is this a "concrete and subtle" Rolls-Royce starry roof? I hope the mother-in-law in the back row can understand the literary heart of the young man in the front row.
Of course, the space in the trunk is relatively large, even larger than S60. In addition, there is a pre-existing case. Although the XC40 only holds a briefcase (in fact, it is not recommended that Tesla's front case will heat the computer bag), it is not practical at all and is a good helper for home life.
▲ Polaris 2000 acceleration and other field measurements, the video is about one and a half minutes, it is recommended not to watch it before going to bed.
In order to let everyone concentrate on watching the video, there is no need to say anything here. Let's just say the conclusion: the limit and comfort of Polaris 2 suspension are better than that of Type 3. Olins well-deserved shock absorption.
The zero acceleration is 4.7 seconds, which is weaker than the 3.4 seconds of the Model 3 performance version. It depends on your preference.
In a few days, Che Jujun will go shopping, test drive the production version of Polaris 2 on the daily roads of the city, and then talk about his feelings together.
Jeju tubercle
Polaris 2 is an unprecedented model under this brand. Because the future polar star will adopt a new language to teach by example and strive to "go to Volvo". And the foundation may also replace the current CMA with SPA2.
Polaris 1 is a halo car, which is equivalent to the hybrid Volvo S90 T8 Plus. It is too expensive and has friends. Coupled with the chaotic market positioning, Polaris is booming. At present, we can only rely on Polaris 2.
The price of the first edition of Polaris 2 is 465,438+0.8 million, which has no advantage compared with the performance version of Model 3 of 465,438+0.98 million. In addition, it is possible to reduce domestic competitors to 280,000 after the subsidy at the end of the year. In this way, Polaris is even more lonely.
Let's bless it. After all, good-looking people will not be too unlucky.
