Polestar's New Concept Looks Fantastic. Too Bad It Won't Reach Production

Polestar is effectively ending its US plans because it can’t comply with the new US Connected Vehicles Rule, which will trigger a de facto ban starting with the 2027 model year. The Geely-owned brand says the setback shouldn’t derail its outlook, arguing that the US represented only a fraction of its global sales. Still, the company’s Formula 2030 concept preview is aimed at what’s next in design, featuring a futuristic sporty hatch layout. It’s 184.3 inches long, 79.6 wide, and rides on a 109.4-inch wheelbase, with distinctive 22-inch center-lock wheels and a taillight design that replaces the typical light bar. The cabin mixes a driver-focused display with eight physical control switches.
