JAKARTA - Many automotive manufacturers are committed to producing efficient electric vehicles by providing vehicles with long distances. However, this does not seem to apply to Polestar.

Thomas Ingenlath, as CEO of Polestar, said that he was willing to lose a distance of several kilometers for the design aesthetics that Polestar made.

He also said that distance is not everything consumers are looking for when buying a vehicle. Ingenlath also said that design has an important role in attracting customers' interest.

"If you ask me personally, in Polestar, I definitely, for some types of quality in car characters, give part of the percentage efficiency. But of course, it should be a fair amount. I think our customers will also appreciate that," Ingenlath said as quoted by Autocar, Wednesday, May 10.

Ingenlath was also asked about Polestar's latest vehicle, namely the 4. The uniqueness of the car does not have a rear window. Instead, the manufacturer embeds the vehicle with the camera system on the back.

He did this to ensure better rear visibility. He stated that the Tesla Model Y competitor had a much better back view than most vehicles with this innovative system.

In addition, the camera system allows the crossover 4 to have an "unusual" look with a newer design like the Polestar car should.

With a revolutionary design, Polestar 4 actually compensates for aesthetics and their distance.

For your information, Polestar 4 has a battery capacity of 102 kWh which is suitable for use for long distances. This car can cover a distance of more than 560 km according to WLTP calculations.
