The highly anticipated Polestar 5 has finally made its grand entrance into the automotive scene, boasting a hefty price tag of over £90,000. This dual-motor powerhouse is set to rival the likes of the Porsche Taycan with its cutting-edge technology and performance capabilities.
Deep within the sleek aluminium body of the Polestar 5 lies a massive 112kWh battery, a myriad of sensors, and the option to accelerate from 0-62mph in a mere 3.2 seconds if you opt for the Fast One package. This model represents the future of Polestar, embodying the essence of a high-performance four-door GT.
Five years in the making, the Polestar 5 exudes power and sophistication. It comes in two versions in the UK, both built on Polestar’s advanced bonded aluminium platform, featuring dual electric motors, an 800V architecture, Brembo brakes, and a top speed of 155mph.
Performance is at the core of the Polestar 5’s design. The ‘Launch edition’ model, priced at £89,500, delivers 737bhp, 599lb ft of torque, and can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds. With a range of 416 miles, this variant offers a balance of power and efficiency.
For enthusiasts craving even more adrenaline, the ‘Performance Launch edition’ at £104,900 boasts a staggering 871bhp, 749lb ft of torque, and a blistering 0-62mph time of 3.2 seconds. Despite a slightly reduced range of 351 miles, this model promises an exhilarating driving experience.
Charging the Polestar 5 is a breeze, thanks to its 800V technology that allows for a rapid 10-80% charge in just 22 minutes. The car’s spacious interior, reminiscent of a Mercedes S-Class, offers a blend of luxury and minimalistic design, with Recaro front seats and eco-friendly materials throughout.
Inside, the Polestar 5 is a tech lover’s paradise, featuring a 14.5-inch central touchscreen, a 9.5-inch head-up display, and a nine-inch driver display. The vehicle is equipped with advanced driver-assist features, including ‘pilot assist’ for semi-autonomous driving at speeds up to 93mph.
