The Polestar Precept isn’t destined for production, but many of the ideas we see here will show up in the Polestar 3, a performance electric SUV due in late 2021.

The Precept’s styling is quite unlike that from established rivals in Europe or from Tesla, for that matter.

Among the features I adore are the Precept’s front lights, which call out to the family link with Volvo.

As you can see, that LED battery indicator is incorporated into the C pillar.
-
The Precept’s suicide doors and lack of a B pillar probably won’t make it to production, but other ideas will.
-
The seats use fabric woven from recycled PET plastic bottles.
