When is it available to order?

magicbastarder · 31-03-2022 8:48am

is it a volvo? or at least, is it being sold through the volvo network?

TitianGerm · 31-03-2022 8:52am

That looks great value and could be an excellent commuter car.

MarkN · 31-03-2022 9:00am

They will have a showroom in Sandyford, servicing through Volvo network, seems to be an element of digital first too though if you want to order online.

Have they indicated if they'll take trade ins?

Gumbo · 31-03-2022 9:48am

Trying to navigate the website and it’s quite “jumpy”.

ill try it on desktop but no order button appearing for me other than book a test drive.

carsfan2 · 31-03-2022 10:28am

I booked a test drive on their site and got e mail back saying no test drives available yet but will contact me when they are.

They will.

Mark010 · 31-03-2022 11:08am

Does anyone know if the prices advertised is inclusive of SEAI and VRT rebate?

eagerv · 31-03-2022 11:28am

Cannot find any pricing, but fear will be over the €60K (No grant) if you go for any pack and/or possibly even colour.

Virgil° · 31-03-2022 11:45am

Yeah I've been following this one closely. Most other EVs include the grant in the price on their websites. Hopefully this is an exception as the plus pack (a pretty needed addition IMO) would be circa 5-6k. At which stage the car would be a good clip more expensive than its direct competitor the Model 3 and possibly not eligible for SEAI grants. I asked their support chat client if they had any prices for the packs here or on the EV grant and they didn't know.

They've some sort of roadshow coming to Dublin on May 9th so maybe more info will be available then.

Just under 55 and the most expensive seems to go to around 69k.

Thanks Mark, but will be interesting to see if you add anything will the €55k suddenly turn into over €60k. (Similar to the Model 3 where a red base RWD is now north of 60k.

That's a lot better than I was expecting, and it's within range of the EV6 as well. Great to see the EV market starting to become competitive at decent drivable ranges.

Website says from 54,500, but shows packs available such as pilot pack. However in Marks review, he says that the pilot pack & Heat pump come standard on cars in Ireland. But still unclear whether that €54,500 is inclusive of grants. Just have to wait on brochure updates ect

Virgil° · 31-03-2022 1:38pm

From looking at the review he appears to be driving the car with the plus pack rather than the pilot. As the sunroof, heatpump, wireless charging etc are part of that pack and the pilot is more concerned with assist and sensor features. So maybe he misspoke? Which would make the 54.5k price tag pretty reasonable if the plus was included as standard.

MarkN · 31-03-2022 2:32pm

Pilot pack with reduced spec in the form of lights (not being Pixel I think) is standard on Irish cars. Plus pack isn't standard obviously but it is as if they've taken a few bits (such as heat pump) and put on cars here.

I see. So the car you were driving in the video with the wireless charging/sunroof, harmon kardon sound etc..... would be more than the 54,500?

Hey Mark, can you bleep out the Google when you say "Hey Google" on your vids as it sets off an echo of Google responses in the home...or not, up to you

Or follow it up with "play Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up".

I'll try find out the exact price of the car in the video.

They're confirmed some prices tonight too - the car is available from €49,500. This is the same for some, but not all configurations of the L.R.S.M. (long range single motor) so €58,245 less €5,000.

carsfan2 · 07-04-2022 10:28pm

Polestar, Kia ev6 or a BMW i4 Mark?

MarkN · 08-04-2022 5:39am

They’re all really great cars in their own ways, top of the pile in their segments but for driving enjoyment, hard to not place i4 first.

celtic_oz · 08-04-2022 8:55am

They are not taking orders in the UK anymore .. so thats Ireland borked for foreseeable I'd imagine

just like nearly every other manufacturer, no EVs in stock available to rock up and purchase

slave1 · 08-04-2022 11:37am

2022-2023, the years where it was not the cost but the supply

MrMusician18 · 08-04-2022 4:03pm

They have one sitting down on grand canal dock this week for those interested in a look.

carsfan2 · 09-04-2022 9:27am

The articles I have read about this say that polestar have a stock of cars ready to go for the Irish market and they will be taking orders as well.

when do they plan to start taking orders?

PaulRyan97 · 09-04-2022 3:01pm

Took a look at the one on display in Dundrum yesterday. Absolutely beautiful in the flesh, blows the Model 3 looks wise. Could very easily see myself picking up one next year possibly.

celtic_oz · 09-04-2022 5:28pm
