Polestar has released a teaser image of its fully electric Polestar 3, the vehicle that will kick-start the expansion of its EV model range.

Set to launch next year, the US-built model will line up alongside the Polestar 2 crossover in the Geely-owned EV brand's model line-up following the end of Polestar 1 coupe production. 

Polestar announced in September that it will embark on a £14.6bn public listing as part of a strategy to fund “significant investment in products and the expansion of operations and markets”.

And at a presentation to investors this week, CEO Thomas Ingenlath, said that Polestar 3 is intended to be one of the most climate-responsible cars ever made and will in time offer autonomous highway piloting.

Polestar operates online-only car sales but has two franchised Polestar Spaces in the UK - operated by Lookers in Manchester and Endeavour Automotive, in London - and has plans to open two more, in Birmingham and Glasgow.
