Despite the trials and tribulations affecting all manufacturers right now, Polestar enjoyed a record year for sales in 2025. (And before you say anything, financial results are coming soon as well.) For 2026, it’s aiming to further expand its retail network and sell more 4s to ‘deliver low double digit retail volume growth’, as well as bolster the model lineup. Good job there are lots of numbers to get through, really…

The 5 will be here first, the Taycan-rivalling super GT that will start from £90,000. Polestar is promising “incredible handling and a lightweight bonded aluminium platform”, with first deliveries due in the summer. Following that will be something perhaps even more interesting, as a new version of the Polestar 4 is coming (that’s the big hatch with no rear screen, if you’d also forgotten). And it sounds quite good, with CEO Michael Lohscheller promising that it will “set new standards.”

He added: “Sweden is famous for its estate cars, and its SUVs are world-class. We are combining the space of an estate and the versatility of an SUV with the dynamic performance that is Polestar.” Something more traditionally wagon-shaped and Polestar polished could certainly appeal, as an alternative to cars like the BMW i5 Touring and Taycan Sport Turismo. Expect to see it launched later this year, with deliveries expected before the end of ‘26.

Then comes the really important stuff, as 2027 will see the launch of a new Polestar 2, the car that established Polestar and which has sold almost 200,000 units since 2020. There are no concrete details announced just yet (safe to expect the usual claims of extended range) but it surely stands to be an even more important car than ever for Polestar, with alternatives including the imminent BMW i3, the Mercedes CLA (which is European Car of the Year), and whatever Tesla might be cooking up. Lohschaller, unsurprisingly, suggests the next 2 will play “a key role in our future success.”

Then there’s the 7, no less important to Polestar because it’s another crossover. And according to Polestar, compact SUVs account for a third of European EV sales. So it’s a pie they want a slice of, an alternative to cars like the BMW iX1, Mercedes EQA, Kia EV3 and that ilk. Apparently it’ll be a “performance-driven car for a very attractive price point” and built in Europe as well - a first for Polestar.

With the launch of the 7 due in 2028, we’re not going to be short of Polestar news in the near future. Lohschaller suggested the next few years will be “the largest model offensive in our history”, no less. That in addition to updates for the existing range, as the 3 was treated to at the end of last year. So there’ll be no forgetting which number is which in future. And if you’re thinking more new Polestars means better deals on old Polestars, us too: there are dual-motor 2s available for £13,000…
