The Polestar 5 is an upcoming high-performance full-size sedan battery electric vehicle (BEV) produced by Swedish automobile manufacturer Polestar, an affiliate of Geely Holding and Volvo Cars. The Polestar 5 is expected to become commercially available in 2025.[1]

Overview

The Polestar 5 was first developed as the 2020 Polestar Precept concept car,[2][3] and a prototype of the Polestar 5 was displayed in June 2022 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.[4]

The Polestar 5 will be built on the brand’s first bespoke EV architecture, developed by the Polestar UK R&D team. The body is made of bonded aluminium, while the interior features materials such as natural fibre composite deco panels made from flax fibre, and 3D-knitted upholstery made from recycled PET – both of which have already made their production debuts in the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4.[1]

Specifications

The dual electric motor powertrain of the Polestar 5 will produce 650 kW (870 hp) and 900 N⋅m (660 lb⋅ft) of torque.[1] The vehicle will be equipped with an 800-volt battery developed and manufactured by SK On.[1][5]
