Polestar has unveiled Precept, an all-electric four-door grand tourer that embodies the automobile brand’s future vehicle aspirations.
The vehicle’s highlight is an interior composed of sustainable materials and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) developed in collaboration with Google.
Made from Bcomp’s flax-based composites, the interior panels and seatbacks weight 50 percent less and reduces up to 80 percent of plastic waste when compared to conventional materials.
In addition, the seat surfaces are 3D-knitted from recycled PET bottles. Both the bolsters and headrests are made from recycled cork vinyl, while the carpets are made from reclaimed fishing nets.
Polestar says that the name Precept was chosen to emphasize a contemporary electric performance brand. “A precept is a manifesto of things to come; a declaration,” said Polestar. “The car signifies an important milestone for Polestar as a standalone brand, describing a unique design philosophy that remains firmly embedded in Polestar’s brand values: pure, progressive and performance.”
“Precept is a declaration, a vision of what Polestar stands for and what makes the brand relevant,” affirmed Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar. “The car is a response to the clear challenges our society and industry face. This is not a dream of a distant future, Polestar Precept previews future vehicles and shows how we will apply innovation to minimise our environmental impact.”
