This is the Polestar 1!
It’s been a long-time coming, but Mat’s finally got his hands on the first car produced by Volvo’s performance division since they've gone it alone!
When it comes to the looks, there’s no denying that the Polestar 1 is a gorgeous set of wheels. Not only that, but you’ll also be doing your bit for the environment if you invest in one of these, as it’s a plug-in hybrid that can drive for 77 miles on electric power alone - the most of any PHEV available today!
But just because it’s a hybrid doesn’t mean it’s down on power, as under the bonnet you’ll find a 2-litre supercharged engine which, along with two electric motors, can deliver 609hp and an amazing 1000Nm!
Sadly, there’s one downside… It costs £139,000!!! So, is it worth it? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

If you could, would you really spend £140k on a Polestar 1?! If not, what would you buy instead? Let us know BELOW!
Gt63s
Of course look nice
I would buy a Bentley continental gt and for a cheaper version of the pollster 1 I would buy a Volvo V90
i dont think i coud anything else on the world buy than tesla model s plaid + for 140 k and it is the most ez question ever
Any other 140k car
It's a joke is what it is. But even then, still no ha-ha.. so it's a bad joke as well 😒
5:07 "you turn the car on with this... *little nob* "
Is anyone else thinking “what a waste of 140K” 😂😂😂
need for speed heat!
This car is garbage!!!
I guess this is the one I wanna sit behind the wheel without my pets inside the cabin.
If money or the price is the prob, meaning that u haven't worked hard enough. Nuff said. Btw, it's better than i8 and it sends u further than Ur Lamborghini and Ferrari.😂 Work hard dude money don't fall from sky.
140k for a chinese car? no way.
Chinese car in swedish clothes then
In terms of value price capabilities is the worst car I have ever seen...nice honest review.. 😊
@2:56 condensation in headlamps??
He obviously hate this car
Mat, you are screaming for money... too bad, your charm is gone
The rims look really cool, when they skip in the snow
It's a shame it's so expensive and not very good in general because I think it's one of the nicest looking new GT cars I've seen in years.
The Audi e-tron RS is £6k cheaper than this thing... That alone is reason enough to buy it over this. Volvo being Volvo, tsk tsk tsk
Head to Carwow & get 50% off to make it reasonably priced!
all the sweds like this comment
Volvo polestar was already dieng. Instead of making a supercharged turbocharged electric vehicle which oviously failed, this is what they came up with??
Maybe try the pure electric mode for drifting as that's RWD only
“Like a dying ox.” 😂😂
I LOVE the back
People who take your money and you get nothing in return are called scammers
Screams volvo 🤔
The most boring thing you could spend 140k on ladies and gentlemen
Does anyone know where he is driving at 20:07? Does anyone know the suburb or road?
every coupe review he does... ooo lets check out the back seats, yeh lets spend some time bashing my head to show u cant fit... ITS A COUPE ITS MADE FOR 2 PEOPLE + SOME JUNK...ITS NOT A FAMILY CAR YOU BANANA
But it really looks nice
The rims look really cool, when they skip in the snow
ROFL for that money you can get a sick mercedes AMG who wants this plastic piece of shit hahaaha
It’s performance is poor for the price, space is poor for the target audience, it’s too much like a volvo, hopeless boot, terrible seats, rides like a 20 year old minicab, terrible driving dynamics and £140k. Just buy a V90 with the best engine if you must have a Volvo.
Cool car, cooler jacket
Not nice😢

4:23 😆
Hard to believe there will be anyone out there prepared to waste £140K on this thing, it's bloody awful. Only 2 seats that are realistically useable unless you're a family of midgets (no offence intended to shorter people). I cannot conceivably see how anyone could make a case for buying this car, couldn't fit your golf clubs into the boot, let alone 2 peoples clubs. It does look ok and seems quite nice inside but honestly........there's so so much better out there and for far less money and if you have that kind of money, what possible reason would there be to buy this car. Not for me thanks.
everyone gangtsa until mat pulls out his specialist timing gear
140K of actual real money for this?! 😲 Whoever made this price up needs to low down mushroom consumption.
With that many ads you ought to be on Channel 4. Ad settings are available. Consider reducing the number of ads. 🙄
A pull start 1
Screams volvo 🤔
I'm not paying 140 grand for this even in monopoly money....
Ain’t bothering watching the vid. The answer is ,no.
The fact that it is made in China is a good reason not to buy this.
4:20 When your child wants candy acting be like:
those boots though...beware of the fashion police, Matt
I've seen Matt having more fun in Polish Fiat 126p than this.
have some access to the technology. I love the car, not sure about the price but other than that i really like it. It definitely stands out from the crowd.
Cool car, cooler jacket
Your jacket is rank
a swedish mustang
looks nice but.......really? that much for a front wheel drive car?
What’s the 0-60 tester you use
The side looks slightly weird. At least near the back from a design perspective

what a stupid piece of trash is this car....

Can a supermodel cook a good curry or roast? Well they look good enough just to do nothing of any value. I give you the Polestar.
Definitely a collector's car at that price.👎 With only 1500 ever being made at least it will be exclusive. It's a shame it doesn't drive as well as it looks.
It may be rubbish but it's gorgeous. Such a stunning looking car.
9:15 This weird sound really reminds me of the moving sounds of "tripod" in the movie "war of the world" lol
POLESTAR? The same like the Benz in AMG. Volvo=Polestar forever ;)))))
Shite...
The price is in rupees !
Like
The car is an absolute beauty, and its innovative. All it needs is some great engine sound mimic system (great 5 cylinder sound or i6) and Volvo does them so they will probably have some access to the technology. I love the car, not sure about the price but other than that i really like it. It definitely stands out from the crowd.
Looks like a KIA...
And Iphone 12 are not overpriced,,,,,, i think it is good you focus on cars. price,,,, SO ? it cost 270.000 pounds in Denmark.
This is the best car review I’ve ever seeeen 🤣
a volvo and audi knockoff
Good luck selling that ugly crap Volvo!
nice car,but £140k. nah.
overpriced garbage, and no its not worth being collectible
mrWatson is a creature that is superior to everything and everyone, please be respectful, it may not be nice for him to try that stick on you.
And Mat knows Polestar very well although presents it to be a Chinese Volvo now🙈 He showed his insides in this Polestar 2 blog: svsoft.info/award/pHvYpZqMnril1Wg/video.html How knowledge can “disappear” so fast from Mat’s mind; what is to be believed😇
Looking at the nürnburg test video you get a completely other picture🤔 svsoft.info/award/eoHGgZGgssWjy5s/video.html Makes you ask if this „journalist“ (Mat) really can drive a car, or is here something else going on🤔
What's with the dislikes.. think those didn't like the car..
140k what the...did they just out apple'd apple? even half that is daring
POLESTAR? The same like the Benz in AMG. Volvo=Polestar forever ;)))))
I like it, but if I had that amount of money I'd buy that Bentley instead.
They are gonna sanitise the car properly after watching this review because of highly awkward expressions from mat 😂😂😂

140 grand, they’re having a laugh surely? Probably the last car you would buy for that money.
Yeah, underneath the fancy "Polestar" badge, it's just a Volvo. A pretty good Volvo, but a Volvo none the less
Polestar sounds like a stripper name
Before watching it... No £140k on a car is not worth it. I’d pay off my mortgage and retire early instead of driving around in a Volvo.
@Photo 4k I mean that a yobs car you are showing me there, but a second hand Golf (in non-chav spec) is a sensible motor.
After watching it... Yes, it’s not worth it.
Worst car ever made
Hey
Why should I buy Chinese Volvo if I can for same money buy Bmw or Mercedes? I dont see point of this car! Anyway, who is buying Volvo this days? Probably nobody!
As someone who owns a 2018 Polestar... I can share my disappointment. I've heard other reviewers mention the wind noise also... that's like my biggest pet peeve. Swedes should have kept the brand instead of tainting it with this mess.
where did you buy the jacket from???
BIN IT !!!
So while it got the looks it lacks the brains
GREAT REVIEW! 😆😆😆💯💯
99mph for 140k - I'd feel robbed
Laughs in Elon
No chance I'd buy this being priced around same price as a Bentley lol
some piece of shit on wheels 😌
Its horrid and this is coming from someone who has spent most of their life inside volvos
They are gonna sanitise the car properly after watching this review because of highly awkward expressions from mat 😂😂😂
Looking forward to seeing those "intelligent" people owning Polestar, haha.
Like the “proper”, “smart”, “techies” owning Tesla🤣
Mat is the type of guys who wears a Burberry jacket with work boots
mats low key tryna flex the jacket, i see you boi
