But I'm not sure I would spec a V90 with any of that stuff even if they did offer it. Not that type of wagon.
Volvo and Polestar were purchased by Chinese manufacturer Geely, the same parent company of Lotus. Volvo and Polestar are both still engineered in Sweden, but the EV manufacturing is now through Chinese factories with Volvo ICE production being through European and North American facilities. Polestar will be opening a North American manufacturing plant to do the Polestar 3 SUV, but all vehicles are currently produced from the Chinese plants and shipped to foreign markets. Polestar will be manufacturing only electric vehicles after the introduction of the Polestar 1 hybrid did not capture the market segment they were hoping for. At over $140K I can see why. For those with Tesla fatigue the Polestar 2 is probably the best option out there even though it does have some minor shortcomings. One of the best looking EVs produced and is a real attention getter on the road.
