Polestar planning more models


Polestar has announced its largest model rollout in history, planning four new vehicles over the next three years, writes Brian Byrne. The lineup includes the Polestar 5 grand tourer, expected to start deliveries in summer 2026; a new variant of the Polestar 4, launching late 2026; a successor to the Polestar 2, debuting in early 2027; and the Polestar 7 compact SUV, arriving in 2028.

Globally, Polestar expects low double-digit retail volume growth in 2026, supported by the expansion of its retail network.

The Polestar 5, built on a lightweight bonded aluminium platform, aims to elevate the brand’s luxury and performance. The revised Polestar 4 will offer increased versatility, while the new Polestar 2 will be a complete successor expected to launch early next year. The Polestar 7 aims to capture a significant share of Europe's busy EV segment.

Despite geopolitical and economic challenges, Polestar reported its best retail sales year in 2025.
