POLESTAR, the Swedish electric car brand, has revealed the Polestar 5 four-door performance Grand Tourer.

It is born from the Precept concept, first unveiled in 2020, and takes that into production with minimal changes.

The five metre long shape of the Polestar 5 has been made possible without compromising rear seat space by moving the rear header structure backwards behind rear seat occupants' heads and employing the digital rear view mirror and virtual rear window as on Polestar 4.

Polestar 5 also features the largest panoramic glass roof of any Polestar so far - at just over 2-metres long and 1.25-metres wide.

At the rear, the Polestar 5 uses a specially designed aero-efficient lightbar with rear vent detail and integrated rear diffuser to improve airflow.

Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO, said: "Polestar 5 is bringing the future to our present. Our vision for Polestar's design, technology, and sustainability direction is no longer a dream but a reality our customers can buy. With its pure Scandinavian design inside and out, unique platform, powerful motors, sophisticated chassis, cutting-edge technology, and consciously sustainable materials, the Polestar 5 is a guiding star for the industry and the perfect Polestar flagship."

Designed primarily as a four-seater, with the central armrest in its lower position, rear seat passengers can control the four-zone climate system, seat heating, ventilation, and massage functions.

These rear seats follow the same form design as the Recaro fronts and can be individually reclined for comfort. Raising the armrest creates a fifth seating position, the staggered configuration offering greater shoulder space, and turns the performance GT into a practical five-seater. A cut out in the battery, known as the foot garage, behind the front seats gives occupants extra foot space and a more natural seating position.

The driving position of the Polestar 5 is deliberately reclined, with a performance focus, thanks to the low-slung seats and upright angled steering wheel brought close to the driver.

A nine-inch driver display is mounted directly to the electrically adjustable steering column, ensuring the display is perfectly positioned in line of sight, no matter the chosen position. Finally, the 9.5-inch head-up display completes the driver focused information displays found in Polestar 5.

In total, the Polestar 5 has 11 vision cameras, one driver monitoring camera, one mid-range radar, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. Polestar 5 has eight airbags and uses interior radars to detect the number, position, and type of occupants to deploy the correct safety measures in the event of an accident.

It is priced from £89,500 or £104,900 in Performance specification which and has 884bhp on tap resulting in a 3.2 second 0 to 62mph acceleration.

For increased efficiency the rear motor of the Polestar 5 can disconnect, and the Polestar 5 Dual motor can achieve up to 416 miles on a single charge while the Polestar 5 Performance can drive for up to 351 miles.
