If I had to list a few keywords for 2022, I believe many people, including me, would write about the new crown epidemic. From January this year to the present, the epidemic has broken out in many cities across the country, affecting the work and life of countless people. The resurgence of the epidemic has raised concerns about health and protection, such as strengthening personal hygiene and avoiding crowds. In terms of commuting that needs to be faced every day, choosing to commute by private car is a more secure plan.
As an independent space, the private car is obviously far stronger than public transportation such as buses and subways in response to the epidemic. But I don't know if you have ever wondered how strong the car at home is to filter air and viruses? Is it necessary to wear a mask when driving under the epidemic? Is it necessary to open the window for ventilation or to turn on the air conditioner? Many people have fresh air systems at home to ensure air quality, so shouldn't a fresh air system be installed on the car? This may sound like a bunch of tedious and headaches, but in fact, as long as there is a Polar Star 2, everything will be solved.
Enjoy the pure air of the Nordic forests
In order to ensure that the air entering the cockpit is clean enough, polestar 2 is equipped with a clean zone clean cockpit, including the CZIS active cockpit cleaning system and IQAS air quality control system, which can filter out 99% of PM10 particles, such as dust and pollen, through an efficient multiple filtration system, and can also filter out 95% of PM2.5, and the protection level even exceeds the general disposable mask, allowing users to breathe pure air comparable to the Nordic forest in the car. In addition, when the user uses the remote unlock vehicle, the CZIS system will automatically start the air conditioner into the ventilation cycle state, introduce fresh air outside the car, and discharge the harmful gases in the car.
In addition to purifying the air in the car, PoleStar 2 is committed to the environmental protection of the materials in the car and eliminates all harmful substances in the car. The entire interior is wrapped and decorated with wood and other eco-friendly materials.
For example, the seat of Polestar 2 adopts Weave Tech high-tech material, which is usually applied to professional wetsuits, with a delicate touch and meets the standard of skin contact with baby underwear; and this material is not only lighter and more environmentally friendly than ordinary leather, but also has stronger breathability, even if it is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will not be particularly absorbent, and it is also waterproof and dustproof, more convenient to take care of. In addition, the seat plasticizer is reduced from 45% to 1% to minimize the phthalene volatiles, not only has no odor itself, but also is not easy to absorb.
Understated luxury in Nordic minimalist style
The exterior of the Polar Star 2 adopts a family design language, the entire appearance uses a large number of straight lines and folded sides, the front face hexagonal middle net interior adopts a grid pattern design, and the iconic Thunder Hammer God headlights on both sides bring a high degree of recognition.
The black side eyebrows and side skirts bring a distinctly crossover style. The through-line taillights at the rear of the car consist of 288 LED bulbs that automatically adjust brightness according to the environment and braking force.
The interior as a whole continues the Nordic style of simplicity, and the excess physical buttons are almost invisible throughout the interior.
The overall UI design of the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard is simple, directly laying out the information tiles, intuitive and not messy.
The 11.5-inch central control screen tilts slightly to the driver's side, equipped with The Android Automotive OS developed by Volvo in cooperation with Google, equipped with applications such as Gaode Maps and Tmall Genie, while having good scalability.
Driving pleasure but without losing comfort
The model we drove this time is the Polar Star 2 dual motor long endurance version, the total power of the front and rear dual motors reached 300kW, the peak torque reached 660Nm, and the official acceleration time of 0-100km/h was 4.7 seconds.
Interestingly, Polar Star 2 does not have a power mode switching function, and its electric front and rear sections have a more obvious "personality split": the first half is more economical, and the daily car and cruise are very relaxed; the second half is obviously more violent, and the powerful torque of the dual motor can press people on the seat instantly when stepping on the electric door.
Unlike the minimalist and cold design style, the Pole Star 2 is not boring at all, but it is quite driving pleasure. In particular, our test drive is equipped with an optional high-performance kit. Its front McPherson suspension and rear multi-link suspension are set to be sporty overall, with a clear sense of the road, and with the 245-width horse BRAND SC6 tires, it can achieve a very smooth posture and high physical limits in the corners. This may sound a bit contradictory, but if you know that Polestar Polestar Polestar was originally born in racing, its racing genes seem to be difficult to understand.
After all, sports is only one side of Polar Star 2, and it is more of a scene as an everyday commute. Although its suspension setting is not soft, it feels only tighter, more conveys only the sense of the road, for slightly larger vibrations or filtered more thoroughly; at the same time, the cabin has excellent tranquility, the overall NVH performance is very good.
Write at the end
When it comes to Northern Europe, many people always think of low-key and minimalist. Polestar from Northern Europe also inherits these qualities, its design is very low-key and minimalist, there is no fancy element; at the same time, polar star has a lot of connotation, for health, environmental protection, safety and other aspects have an obsession. These aspects are obviously not as eye-catching as accelerating battery life data and large screens, but pushing back a few times will be tired, and even the strongest multimedia system cannot escape the fate of backwardness. Health and environmental protection will never be out of date, only by personally experiencing and in-depth understanding, will be deeply attracted by the unique temperament of Polar Star.
