It keeps the same ‘dual blade’ headlights, while boasting what looks to be boxy proportions and sharp bonnet channels. 

The car has an aggressive stance, with wide fenders, a low ride height and subtle lower air intake vents. 

The new design direction will first feature on the Polestar 2 scheduled for launch in 2027, but expect more information before the end of this year.
