They are designed in Sweden but Polestar (along with Volvo) is now owned by Geeley, a Chinese company.


The Polestar vehicles are manufactured in China (in addition to being owned by Geeley, a Chinese company)

Yes — the Wikipedia article that I linked says so as well. But Polestar is headquartered in Sweden, and the cars are designed by Swedes in Sweden. It’s a Swedish brand.

Yes. Geely also own Lotus and started to produce heavy Lotus branded SUVs.

MG is also Chinese.
