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. [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]
