  • Four new cars planned over the next three years
  • Polestar 5 and a new variant of the Polestar 4 coming later this year
  • New Polestar 2 saloon planned for early 2027
  • A small SUV, the Polestar 7, coming in 2028

Polestar has outlined its product plans for the next three years, with four new cars scheduled for release.

With deliveries of the new Polestar 5 GT car arriving in the summer, we'll see a new variant of the Polestar 4 in the final quarter of the year – a more estate-like version that will add extra practicality.

The Polestar 5 is a performance grand tourer, with up to 884PS from two electric motors, and a range of up to 421 miles, depending on the model.

2026 Polestar 4 "Estate"

Meanwhile, the current Polestar 4 Coupe is the Swedish brand's best-seller, and the company says the new version will combine "the space of an estate and the versatility of an SUV", along with the levels of performance that Polestar has become known for.

Early next year, a new generation of the Polestar 2 saloon is due, and in 2028 a premium small SUV, the Polestar 7 will join the line-up. The 2 was Polestar's first car sold in the UK, released in 2019, so the second-generation model will be, according to teaser images, designed more in line with the style we've seen on the 5 and the 4, with Polestar's now-signature "dual blade" headlights.

2027 Polestar 7

The Polestar 7 will take the company into a new and very congested part of the market, where it'll be up against the likes of the BMW iX1, the Volvo EX40, the Mercedes EQA and more. Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller said the 7 would be "a progressive performance-driven car for a very attractive price point".

Polestar's new models: prices and release date

2027 Polestar 2

We'll see the Polestar 5 GT car arrive in the summer. Two versions have been announced – the standard car, with a mere 748PS and a 421-mile range, costs from £89,500, while the Polestar 5 Performance, with 884PS and a 346-mile range, costs from £104,900.

The new Polestar 4 "estate" (we don't know its official name yet) will break cover at the end of 2026. Prices haven't been confirmed, but we'd expect it to stay very close to the coupe model, which currently costs from £55,750.

The new generation of Polestar 2 will be revealed early next year. Again, no prices or specs have been confirmed, but we'd expect it to be a slight rise on the current car, which costs from £45,160.

The arrival of the new Polestar 7 is planned for 2028, and again there are no prices confirmed. Expect it to be competitive against the rivals mentioned above, which would suggest a starting price of around £45,000

Ask HJ

What used EV do you suggest I buy?

I am currently driving a 2017 Peugeot 2008 which is certainly big enough for our needs but it’s time to change and time to look at EVs. I’d like a range that comfortably covers the 165 mile journey to visit grandchildren, an upright seating position for driver and front seat passenger and carrying capacity at least matching the Peugeot. I have a budget of around £20,000 plus p/x and have been quite taken by the Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin.
As a more stylish option, you could opt for a Polestar 2, which is made using many of the same components as the XC40 Recharge. The boot space is about the same as the Peugeot's, but only if you include the under-bonnet storage area. As a more practical alternative, you could also consider the Skoda Enyaq. The Elroq is more of a match for the XC40's size, but it's still quite new, whereas there's been plenty of time for depreciation to work its magic on the Enyaq. Prices start from as little as £12,000.
