Volvo continues to bring many unique aspects in design, performance, and personality to the car world. The company has continuously focused on safety and attainable luxury, and of late is shifting entirely to EVs.
The 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge is the first electric car from the Swedish automaker sold to the general public. Yet, it has a lot in common with the Polestar 2.

Volvo aims to release in-car 5G in the early 2020s, though it hasn't provided a more specific timeframe. It predicts quicker connection speeds will allow cars to talk to the infrastructure in real-time, so they'll be able to detect traffic or find a parking spot, for example. BMW is also developing in-car 5G.
Most electric cars aren't rated to tow, but the upcoming Polestar 2 will be able to lug up to 3,300 pounds. That should be more than adequate for the needs of the Polestar's target customers. If you need to tow more, the only option is to get a much larger Tesla Model X or Audi E-Tron.
