Polestar Model Range 

Polestar has four models available to buy new, including:

Polestar 2 

This fastback offers excellent responsive driving, thanks to the design of the technical chassis and low centre of gravity, by minimising body roll and seamlessly transferring the weight as you take corners, brake and accelerate. 

The finely tuned suspension and precision handling let you take on all types of roads without concern. In addition, progressive power steering adapts to your speed to reduce feedback when the car moves slowly, while increasing feedback as you move faster. You use the drive settings to adjust the steering feel to work with your driving style.

Available in four different electric powertrains, enabling you to choose which is best for your needs. Ranging from the Long Range dual motor with Performance Pack, offering 350 kW of power. The Long Range dual motor offers 310 kW of power. The Long Range single motor offers 220 kW of power, and the Standard Range single motor offers 200 kW of power. 

Polestar 3 

This SUV has been designed to create a sporty driving feel while enjoying the practicality and spacious benefits. 

The excellent suspension is emphasised by balanced, comfortable driving and performance dynamics. To keep the driving experience relaxing on all types of roads, the active air suspension adjusts ride height via sensor input, working together with the passive dampers. 

Available as three powertrain options to choose from. Ranging from the Performance, offering 500 kW of power, the dual motor, offering 400 kW of power and the rear motor, which offers 245 kW of power. 

Polestar 4 SUV

Effortlessly combining coupé aerodynamics with SUV practicality and light driving feel. By switching to an all-wheel-drive or a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, you can easily drive any type of road without feeling bumpy or unsettled. 

Designed with a low, sleek front, the smallest details are added for maximum efficiency. With air curtains added below the headlights, a rear side aero blade, flush door handles and a completely flat floor, all come together for an aerodynamic movement. 

The lower centre of gravity combines with balanced weight distribution, and structural stiffness works in harmony with the instant steering and suspension response. 

Available as two powertrain options, ranging from a dual motor, offering 400 kW of power, to the Rear Motor, offering 200 kW of power.  

Polestar 4 Coupé​

​The new Polestar 4 Coupé enhances visibility thanks to clear and wide views, while maximising the use of natural light. Offering futuristic technology, advanced engineering and electric-age innovation to advance your driving experience. 

Features such as the rear aero blades optimise airflow and overall driving efficiency. 

Opt for the electrochromic film upgrade to tailor the roof depending on the weather for better lighting in the car. 

Polestar 5 

The Polestar 5 takes the performance of a Grand Tourer and the fun and responsive driving of a sports car. 

Delivering powerful acceleration for the thrill of driving. This comes with an increased range and a short charging session. 

Handling is greatly enhanced thanks to the perfect weight distribution, aerodynamic-optimised chassis, underbody and excellent suspension. 

Reducing driver fatigue, the Polestar 5 is designed with responsive braking and fantastic fidelity and damping control. 

Available in two powertrains: the Performance, offering 650 kW of power and the dual motor, which offers 550 kW of power.
