Polestar 5 Performance Grand Tourer Officially Revealed

Polestar, the forward-thinking Swedish electric brand, has taken another major step into the future with the official reveal of the Polestar 5, a four-door performance Grand Tourer that embodies the brand’s bold vision for design, technology, and sustainability. Born from the Precept concept first shown in 2020, the Polestar 5 brings that dream to life with cutting-edge engineering, conscious materials, and breathtaking performance.

Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller perfectly captured the moment:
“Polestar 5 is bringing the future to our present. Our vision for Polestar’s design, technology, and sustainability direction is no longer a dream but a reality our customers can buy.”

Design: Pure Scandinavian Elegance

Staying true to the Precept’s original DNA, the Polestar 5 translates futuristic design into production with remarkable faithfulness. At nearly five metres long, this GT delivers a sleek silhouette inspired by aviation, with its wing-like profile and Kamm-style tail optimizing aerodynamics.

Highlights include:

• Signature dual blade Pixel LED headlights.
• SmartZone front grille housing sensors and cameras.
• A glasshouse and sleek roofline that blend form and function.
• A panoramic glass roof, over two metres long, creating an airy, light-filled cabin.
• Cd drag coefficient of just 0.24, ensuring both speed and efficiency.

Six colour options are available, including dramatic matte finishes like Storm grey and Magnesium silver.

Interior: Comfort Meets Sustainability

Step inside and you’ll find an interior designed as much for passengers as for the driver. The 4+1 seat layout blends performance-focused ergonomics with Scandinavian minimalism.

• Front seats by Recaro: low, supportive, and finished in eco-friendly materials.
• Rear passengers enjoy reclinable seats, four-zone climate control, heating, ventilation, and massage functions.
• Sustainable materials throughout: flax-based composites, recycled PET, Econyl carpets, and bio-based alternatives to carbon fibre.
• A foot garage design within the battery allows for more natural seating positions in the rear.

Technology enhances the cabin further with a 14.5-inch portrait display powered by Android Automotive OS, Google built-in services, and an optional Bowers & Wilkins 21-speaker sound system.

Performance Architecture: Engineering Excellence

Underpinning the Polestar 5 is the new Polestar Performance Architecture (PPA), a bonded aluminium platform offering exceptional rigidity while remaining lightweight.

• 112 kWh battery (106 kWh usable) for long range and strong performance.
• Brembo four-piston brakes, bespoke Michelin tyres, and MagneRide adaptive damping ensure both control and comfort.
• 800V architecture enables ultra-fast charging — from 10% to 80% in just 22 minutes at 350 kW DC stations.

Powertrain: Electrifying Numbers

The Polestar 5 comes in two powerful variants:

• Polestar 5 Dual Motor: 550 kW (740 hp), 812 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 3.9s, range up to 670 km (WLTP).
• Polestar 5 Performance: 650 kW (884 hp), 1,015 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 3.2s, range up to 565 km (WLTP).

Both are electronically limited to 250 km/h, making them some of the fastest four-door electric GTs on the market.
