The beautiful Polestar brand, from Volvo, has released images of its Precept concept, which will likely be the Polestar 3 partial SUV.

Looking a lot like the Tesla Model S, it is an electric four-door that looks a lot sexier than the Volvo S90, of which it is even larger.

The lengthy wheelbase is expected to be 3.1 metre, some 150mm longer than the Model S, but will ride higher on an SUV like platform.

Polestar already has the Polestar 1, an exclusive and limited run electric coupe, in production. It also has recently released the Polestar 2, a fastback that is fully electric.

It is expected that the Precept concept will use flax-based composite materials able to reduce overall weight of the car’s materials by 50 per cent and an amazing 80 per cent on plastics.

The car remains several years away for release.
