Polestar's Jokkmokk testing facility in Lapland, Sweden, really does lie within the geographic line just above 66º N, surrounded by soft pastel-colored homes... and lake-sized sheets of ice. Now, the Gothenburg-based company is paying homage to its harshest benchmark with the Arctic Circle lineup.

There’s much more to Sweden than Ikea, fika, and those neat-looking “moose ahead” signs. The country has given us some of the greatest rally drivers, and it’s this part of Swedish heritage that Polestar focused on when it turned the 3 and the 4 into ice-crushing off-road racers bundled under the Arctic Circle label.
