Nowadays, many brands have shifted from traditional fuel vehicles to new energy models, and domestic consumers have a higher acceptance of such products, and at the same time, such products are also very different from traditional fuel vehicles in terms of design style. Today's uncle for everyone to introduce these two pure electric models have a very simple design style, the appearance and interior can not find too many complex elements, let's take a closer look.
The 2021 Polestar 2 was launched in April last year, and the new car has a total of 3 configurations, with a price range of 257,800 to 338,000 yuan. The 2022 Model 3 was launched in November last year, and the new car has two configurations, with a price range of 290.988 to 367,900 yuan.
Next, the car uncle will choose the top version of the two cars for comparison, the price difference between the two is within 30,000 yuan, so under this premise, which model has a higher product force?
Exterior design
The new Polestar 2 continues the shape of the first version of the model in terms of exterior design, in which the front part of the car adopts an angular design, the shape is not ostentatious, and there is a sense of strength in the implication. The front face of the new car is equipped with a flat grille, the internal mesh is a black square arranged in a row, the three-dimensional sense is very strong, and the headlights on both sides are highly similar to the Volvo brand's Quake headlights, but the light strip designed at the corner of the eye has a different visual effect.
The new Model 3 performance version of the model is not much different from the old model in terms of appearance design, but it has been adjusted and optimized for details such as trims and headlights. Among them, the new model added a lens design to the outside of the headlights, this change can make the irradiation range of the low beam lamps more extensive, the old model will be divided into three levels of headlights, it looks very layered, and the new car will replace the reflective slot on the outside with a lens, so that the middle part of the headlights lacks coherence, although the shape is still beautiful, but it does not look so coordinated.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Polestar 2 are 4606× 1859×1479 mm, and the wheelbase is 2735 mm. The body side design of the new model is still angular, and many cars like to create a low-lying visual effect, but the car is more special, because the body is not too high, so it has a sense of disharmony.
The Model 3 has a specific length, width× height of 4694×1850×1443 mm, and a wheelbase of 2875mm, which is dominant in key body lengths and wheelbases. The most obvious change in the side of the new car is the matte blackening of the chrome trim around the original window, and the design of a new set of exclusive wheels, abandoning the previous aerodynamic design and adopting a hollowed-out sporty design, which looks very combative.
The rear part of the Polestar 2 is highly recognizable, and it uses a lot of straight lines to outline it, which is extremely layered. Among them, the C-shaped through-type taillight visual effect is amazing enough, the internal light strip is relatively thin, the visual effect after lighting is good, and the entire tail is gradually tightened from bottom to top, simple and capable.
The rear design of the Model 3 is basically the same as that of the old model, but we can still see the changes of the new car through some details, such as the car's tail logo and the red line below it is enough to prove its identity. In addition, the new car has also added a very practical electric tailgate, which can be opened remotely by pressing the button on the tail, or through the car machine and mobile phone APP.
Interior design
The interior design of Polestar 2 looks very interesting, the whole center console is layered, and some recyclable environmentally friendly materials are added to the center console, the inside of the door panel, etc., which is very tonal in terms of design concept and shape. The new car is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, the interface effect of the screen is relatively simple, and the UI color matching is also very compatible with the overall atmosphere in the car, which looks very plain. The vertically arranged central control display screen is equipped with a native Android system, which makes it easier for users to get started when operating, and most of the operations can be completed in the first and second-level menus.
For a long time, domestic car friends have been complaining that the interior design of the Model 3 is too simple and lacks the luxurious atmosphere of mainstream brands, and in this upgrade, the car has also made great improvements. Among them, the main changes in the interior part of the new model are reflected in the door panel and the center console, and the wooden trim on the door panel allows the lines on the center console to continue, thus creating a visual sense of encirclement, but the line connection between the center console and the door panel is almost at a right angle, which looks slightly stiff. In addition, the center console of the new car also adopts a new design, and the previous high-brightness material is replaced by matte material, which greatly improves the texture and also improves the problem of fingerprint collection before.
The Polestar 2 interior seats are wrapped in fabric fabric and functionally support the electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, heating of the front seat, and memory of the driver's seat power seat. The fabric used in the new car seat is an environmentally friendly material, which has a good texture when touched, while the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, and the seat surface is wide enough to have good comfort.
The model 3 interior seats are wrapped in imitation leather fabrics, and the function is compared to polestar 2, which lacks the leg rest adjustment of the main passenger seat and the four-way adjustment of the waist support of the passenger seat. The interior padding of the front seats in the new model is somewhat stiff, and the flanks on the backrest and cushion have obvious prominence, which is well wrapped.
Polestar 2 is equipped with independent headrests in each position in the rear, the seats on both sides have obvious inverted, the wrapping feeling is good, the central platform is raised, and the middle passenger can only put his feet on both sides of the platform, which greatly reduces the comfort of the ride.
Model 3 rear seats are at the same level as the front in terms of material application and workmanship, the length of the entire rear seat cushion is excellent, which can give rear passengers good leg support, the seat back support ratio is reclined, and there is more rear heating than polestar 2 in terms of function.
dynamical system
The Polestar 2 is driven by dual motors front and rear, with a total output of 300 kW, a peak torque of 660 Nm, and an official 100 km/h acceleration of 4.7 seconds. At the same time, the car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 78 kWh and a cruising range of 512 km.
Model 3 also uses front and rear dual motor drive, the total output power of the motor is 357 kilowatts, the peak torque is 659 Nm, and the official 100 km/h acceleration is 3.3 seconds, and the performance is more outstanding. In addition, the car is matched with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 78.4 kWh and a cruising range of 605 km.
Uncle Che summed up
As high-end pure electric cars, polestar 2 and model 3 have a very simple interior and exterior design and good strength. From the multi-faceted comparison of the above two models, we can see that their advantages are different, of which polestar 2 is ahead in some functional configurations, while the Model 3 has more ample rear seating space, better power performance and a better level of intelligence. In comparison, the product strength and cost performance of Model 3 are higher, so in this round of duels, The uncle recommends Model 3.
