2022 Polestar 2 pre-orders open, test drives commence

Keen on a Polestar 2? You can now place a refundable $500 reservation to secure your spot in the delivery queue.

Reservation books for the 2022 Polestar 2 electric car have opened, ahead of the car’s official launch in January.

From today, interested buyers can now place down a fully-refundable deposit of $500 to reserve a “priority allocation” for a car on Polestar’s website (click here), ahead of the new Polestar 2’s official on-sale date set for January 2022.

Selecting their desired powertrain, exterior colour, interior trim and options, customers can convert their reservation to an order at a later date, at which point they will be advised of a delivery date.

The opening of reservations coincides with the ramp-up of a “roadshow” program, which will see the Polestar 2 travel across Australia’s east coast in a series of events allowing consumers to see the car and test drive it, before placing a deposit.

The first sites opened in Sydney in mid-November (namely on Bondi Beach), with events planned for Melbourne (Queensbridge Square) and the Gold Coast (Pacific Fair) in December 2021, followed by Brisbane (King George Square) in February 2022.

Permanent ‘Polestar Spaces’ – Tesla showroom-like retail stores in shopping centres – will open in various locations sometime next year, along with ‘Polestar Destinations’, which are larger, out-of-town locations able to showcase cars and deliver customers’ vehicles.

“The demand we’re seeing for Polestar 2 test drives Australia-wide has exceeded even our most ambitious estimates, which is testament to the growing interest in electric vehicles locally, and the need for greater consumer choice in the market,” said Samantha Johnson, head of Polestar Australia.

Priced from $59,900 before on-road costs, the 2022 Polestar 2 will launch in Australia in January with a choice of three electric powertrains (across two battery sizes, and single- or dual-motor layouts) in a bid to take on (what is understood to be) the country’s best-selling electric vehicle, Tesla Model 3.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals.

But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
