This is one of the most captivating designs floating around the industry right now, in my humble opinion.
Yeah but,
One car plus another car equals another car. Well, they do all have wheels and all.
the charging infrastructure race is under-reported.
They’re not “options” if it’s the only way you can buy the car.
I agree with everything except that Polestars should always be blue.
I assume that this is aimed at the Chinese market. The pole star/Polaris is significant, culturally speaking. It would make sense as a way for this to bridge things from a corporate and marketing identity since ultimately Volvo is now a Chinese company.
The “stuck on” screen makes it easier for automakers to upgrade the size in future mid cycle updates, or offer multiple sizes for different trims, without having to redo the entire dashboard or putting huge “you should have gotten the larger screen” penalty bezels.
Am I the only one confused as to why Volvo would spend half a decade defining the “Thor’s Hammer” headlight as new Volvo design language, only for it to now be used on a brand they’ve gone out of the way to differentiate as non-Volvo?
