Polestar Precept

To make the Polestar Precept sleek and aerodynamic side mirrors were replaced by cameras.

Polestar wants the production version of the Precept to be as close as possible to the first iteration of the four-door grand tourer, shown at the Beijing auto show on Saturday.

The Polestar Precept's single-volume glass roof extends to behind the rear seats and the tailgate.

Behind the Polestar Precept's front grille is the so-called SmartZone, which is where the car's two radar sensors and a high-definition camera are located.

Polestar said the car’s name was chosen because a “precept” is a manifesto of things to come.

At the rear, the Precept has a wide light blade that spans the width of the car, extending into vertical aero-wings that further enhance aerodynamics.

The Precept features an enlarged, portrait-oriented 15-inch center touchscreen that complements a 12.5-inch driver display. The two screens are linked by an illuminated blade.

The Polestar Precept's sustainable materials include flax-based composites for interior panels and seatbacks.

The Polestar Precept’s seat surfaces are from recycled PET bottles; its headrests are made from recycled cork vinyl.

The Polestar Precept has a key technology needed for autonomous driving, lidar. The system is mounted on top of the car’s glass roof.

The Polestar emblem floats holographically inside a solid piece of Swedish crystal between the rear seat headrests in the Precept. In current models the Polestar emblem appears in the headliner between the driver and passenger.
