Polestar, the electric performance brand co-founded by Geely and Volvo, revealed the Polestar 5, a new four‑door coupe, during a presentation in the United States. The moment marks a milestone for the brand as it expands its all‑electric lineup for North American buyers.
The production model draws inspiration from the Precept concept introduced in early 2020. In production form, the design eliminates the radiator grille with a blank panel and adopts a streamlined silhouette that forgoes a rear window and traditional door handles that sit flush with the body. A discreet housing for the charging port sits on the front fender, and the car swaps traditional mirrors for cameras, delivering a sleek, modern aesthetic that prioritizes aerodynamics and visibility.
The interior emphasizes sustainability, featuring upholstery crafted from recycled plastics and linen fabrics. The exterior structure is aluminum, contributing to a lightweight architecture. The Polestar 5 leverages an 800‑volt electrical system to power a fresh all‑wheel‑drive drivetrain, engineered to deliver brisk performance while optimizing efficiency. Designed to seat four, the vehicle can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds and provides a substantial driving range on a single charge, aligning with the expectations of Canadian and American markets seeking high‑performance, long‑range EVs.
In other industry notes, a different model, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro Max crossover, has recently been discussed for price adjustments in the Russian market, illustrating how regional pricing and market dynamics can influence consumer choices across global brands.
