Overview
editThe Polestar 5 was first previewed by the 2020 Polestar Precept concept car.[2][3] In June 2022, a prototype for the Polestar 5 was shown 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 platform is made with bonded aluminium. The interior specifically featured materials like natural fibre composite deco panels made from flax fibre, and 3D-knitted upholstery made from recycled PET – both of which have already made their production debuts in Polestar 3 and Polestar 4.[1]
Specifications
editThe 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 a 800-Volt battery developed and manufactured by SK On.[1][5]
