The Polestar 5 is a battery electric full-size luxury sedan produced by Swedish automobile manufacturer Polestar, an affiliate of Geely Holding and Volvo Cars. The Polestar 5 debuted at the 2025 Munich Motor Show and hit the European markets same year at a base price of 120 thousand euros.[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 aluminum, while the interior features materials such as natural fiber composite deco panels made from flax fiber and 3D-knitted upholstery created from recycled PET. Both of these material choices have already made their production debuts in the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4.[5]
Specifications
The dual electric motor powertrain of the Polestar 5 will produce 650 kW (870 hp) and 1015 N⋅m (749 lb⋅ft) of torque.[5] The vehicle will be equipped with an 800-volt battery developed and manufactured by SK On.[5][6]
