Polestones 01: Power, Luxury, and Adventure Unleashed!

Welcome to the world of Polestones 01, where China’s automotive ingenuity meets Italian design flair, resulting in a seven-seat marvel that’s not afraid to dream big. No, it’s not the offspring of Volvo’s Polestar; it’s the brainchild of Pininfarina Shanghai, and it’s ready to make a splash on the electric vehicle scene.

Picture this: the Polestones 01, a 7-seater SUV that channels the spirit of a Land Rover Defender, but with a twist. This beast combines dual-axle electric powertrains with a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine, giving it the guts to tackle both the urban jungle and the actual jungle for outdoor enthusiasts. Worried about range anxiety? Fear not! The Polestones 01 claims a max range of 692 miles, thanks to its petrol engine coming to the rescue.

Designed by the maestros at Pininfarina Shanghai, this SUV isn’t just about power and range. It’s a design symphony, offering two length options to accommodate your squad, whether it’s a family outing or an adventure expedition. The heart of this beast is a range-extender powertrain, a fusion of two electric motors and that 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine. Result? A hefty 350kW of power, launching this bad boy from 0-100km/h in just 5.5 seconds.

Safety? Polestones 01 takes it seriously. Six cameras, five millimeter-wave radars, twelve ultrasonic sensors, and not one, but three LiDAR units stand guard, making sure your journey is secure and informed. Industry giants like Bosch, CATL, Continental, and Valeo have all teamed up to bring this vision to life.

But here’s where it gets interesting – it’s not just an SUV; it’s a mobile adventure hub. The tailgate boasts a camper-van style kitchen, complete with an induction cooktop and water dispenser, all guarded by a fold-out gazebo. Need extra space? Opt for the seven-seater, and you get a cabin that transforms into a king-sized bed.

Inside, the Polestones 01 pampers you with individually reclining seats and a roof-mounted dropdown screen. The dual-infotainment system lets the driver focus on the essentials while treating rear occupants to a cinematic experience on the larger screen. It’s not just a car; it’s an experience.

Yet, it’s not alone in the ring. The Polestones 01 steps into the arena alongside rugged contenders like the Land Rover Defender, Tank 300, and Haval Raptor. What sets it apart? A bold blend of classic design, cutting-edge tech, and unapologetic luxury that might just redefine perceptions of Chinese automotive innovation. As it gears up for its debut, the world watches, wondering if this marriage of old-school charm and new-age tech will capture the global automotive stage. The Polestones 01 – where power meets adventure, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
