- Polestar presents its latest model 5 at the IAA Mobility Show
- Grand Tourer remains faithful to the impressive precept concept
- But the owners will have to settle for a “virtual” rear window
After many teasing and possibly one of the conceptuals with the best aspect of 2024, Polestar has finally removed the wraps of its handsome Postar 5 Grand Tourer.
Clearly created to face the powerful Super Electric Sedanes of Porsche, Audi, BMW and Lucid, the 5 of Polestar come in two different flavors, which have very impressive statistics.
The dual Motor Launch Edition, which will cost £ 89,500 / au $ 187,000 (around $ 120,000), has an 112kWh battery that is good for 416 miles in a single load, while the powerful braided leg paw 737bhp and 812nm of torque for a sprint time of 0-62 MPH of only 3.9 seconds.
Customers can mark the ‘Go faster’ box and opt for a performance launch edition that costs £ 15,400 / AU $ 23,100, but sees that production increases to an unfathomable 871BHP and 1,015nm of Torque. Rest at 62 mph takes 3.2 seconds, but the range falls to 351 miles.
That type of numbers see it in the same high performance group as the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and GT, as well as the Audi E-Tron GT models, with the launch edition improving both when it comes to the electric range.
As expected from a modern premium EV, there is an 800 V electric architecture to withstand a quick charge of the 112kwh monster batteries. Polestar says it can load 10-80% in approximately 20 minutes from 350kw.
Designed predominantly with four people in mind, the front seats have been designed in collaboration with the Recaro racing specialist, while the sculpted rear banks offer a lot of space for two adults, with a good rest in the middle. It is likely that you can squeeze a fifth person if necessary.
The Swedish brand has maximized the rear head space by moving the structure of the rear header back and, prepare, getting rid of the rear window. That’s right, it will have the same rear view system based on the camera as the Polestar 4, which divided the opinion.
Inside, Polestar adheres to the same Automotive Android operating system that offers live route planning through Google Maps and all kinds of downloadable applications in a visualization of 14.5 inches portraits.
The Polestar 5 is also capable of a semi -autonomous driving functionality thanks to its set of cameras, radars and ultrasonic sensors. It offers your pilot assistance cruise control at speeds up to 93 mph … if you like speed tickets.
THE MOST ‘POLESTAR’ so far

The nesting exterior style, the minimalist interior and the performance figures of the monsters make the polestar 5 feel like the car that the brand has been anxious to do.
After all, the company was previously Volvo’s performance arm and reached the market with an explosion when it launched the high -power hybrid with suspension of adjustable OHLINs manually in the form of Polestar 1.
Since then, he has found success with the elegant Polestar 2 and the SUV 3 and 4 most recent, but none of them have marked all the boxes to drive enthusiasts. The Swedish brand expects the 5 to do such a thing.
While it is likely not a large volume seller, given the fact that it costs so much, the Polestar 5 will undoubtedly act as a halo product to attract newcomers to the brand.
He has experienced strong sales in recent months, with an increase of 51% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year.
