Volvo's fledgling premium brand Polestar has announced it will unveil its Tesla Model 3-rivalling Polestar 2 on February 27 during a VIP event that will be broadcast online.
As part of the announcement, Polestar released yet another teaser shot of the Polestar 2, this time offering an up-close-and-personal view of the four-door mid-size coupe's rear boot lid.
From the image it's clear the car-maker's first mass-produced pure-electric model will come with inverted L-shaped LED tail-lights that will be linked by a thin light bar running along the top of the bumper.
Look closely and it appears the sporty Polestar 2, which is heavily inspired by the original Volvo-badged 40.2 concept, will feature a ducktail spoiler.
The latest taste of what the Swedish brand's first volume-production model will look like follows a recent leak of images via the car-maker's mobile app that was sent to prospective buyers.
Those images still didn't prematurely unveil the entire car but did show off the Polestar 2’s full-length panoramic roof, sharply creased sculptured bonnet and the fastback rear styling.
Set to come equipped with the car-maker’s all-new pure-electric powertrain, the Polestar 2 will be priced between $55,000 to $90,000 (in Europe at least).
The headline news is the four-door coupe will produce up to 300kW and come with a range of about 560km.
Sharing its platform with the Volvo XC40 SUV, the Polestar 2 is set to be the brand’s breakthrough model.
As well as being sold in Europe, the battery-powered Polestar 2 will also be offered to its customers via Volvo’s Care by Volvo subscription service.
It’s not yet been confirmed whether the Polestar 2 is destined for Australia, but the Swedish alternative to the upcoming Model 3 is set to enter production in early 2020 and is expected to be a global model.
The first Polestar 1, a pricey hybrid alternative to cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo, was ruled out for markets like Australia over its lack of right-hand drive.
