After successfully penetrating 10 markets globally, Polestar will soon mark its debut in the ASEAN region starting with Singapore.
According to CarBuyer, Polestar has appointed Wearnes Automotive to be the distributor for Volvo’s spin-off, EV-only marque. The Polestar Space showroom will open in November, located on Leng Kee Road.
Polestar’s Head of China and Asia Pacific, Nathan Forshaw said, “Entering into the local market as a premium electric brand, we found a natural partner in Wearnes Automotive and we are excited to join their portfolio of premium and luxury brands.”
“As the electric sector gathers momentum, Polestar 2 will establish itself as a truly enjoyable, premium electric alternative. We pride ourselves on the ‘Wearnes Experience’, giving our customers unparalleled levels of service and excellence. This fits the Polestar strategy perfectly,” said Andre Roy, the chief executive of Wearnes Automotive.
The first model for Singapore will be the Polestar 2. Singaporeans can choose from three variants with varying output levels and driving range. The most powerful Polestar 2 variant does 408 PS and 660 Nm, featuring a dual-motor set-up that drives both the front and rear wheels.
Closer to home, although Polestar models might not be launched by Volvo Car Malaysia, some reconditioned car dealers have begun selling them, like this Polestar 2.
