Polestar opens Milton Keynes test-drive hub

Polestar UK has opened a new test-drive hub in Milton Keynes, enabling drivers to get behind the wheel of the Polestar 2.

The 8,000 sq ft location, situated in Milton Keynes, will offer over 7,000 consumers the opportunity to experience the Polestar 2

The new 8,000 sq ft hub supplements its London and Manchester Spaces, which have also recently re-opened their test-drive programme, and will help deliver more than 28,000 test drive slots by the end of 2021.

A series of pop-up events at other locations for shorter periods of time will also support this activity, such as a large-scale event hosted at Gridserve’s Essex electric forecourt in Braintree earlier this month.

And Polestar UK will also deliver a series of other semi-permanent test-drive hubs over the summer, including in Daventry, Cambridge and Harrogate. More locations will be announced in due course.

Jonathan Goodman, CEO of Polestar UK, said: “We saw such huge demand in 2020 for test drives, it was clear we needed to deliver more opportunity for consumers to experience our fully-electric Polestar 2 first-hand. But it had to be done in a high-quality way befitting the Polestar brand and be easy to book and access, and so Milton Keynes was an obvious choice. Excellent transport links, great test drive routes and a reputation as the foremost technological centre of the UK ensure it’s the perfect location for us.”

Test drives are available to book at here.
