Polestar 4 estate at heart of biggest ever model blitz

Polestar is set to launch three all-new models and an estate version of its Polestar 4 as it embarks on its biggest ever new product offensive.

The Swedish performance EV brand is kicking off its line-up expansion with the launch of the Polestar 5 and will follow it in the next two years with a compact SUV named the Polestar 7 and an all-new successor to the Polestar 2.

It will also launch a new version of the Polestar 4, confirmed by Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller to be an estate-bodied version of its coupe-crossover.

Lohscheller said: “Following our best sales year ever, we are now launching the largest model offensive in our history, with four premium EVs coming to market within three years.”

Reflecting on Polestar’s financial difficulties, which have seen it report net losses of $365 million in the third quarter of 2025, he added: “We are targeting the heart of the EV market, where customer demand and profit pools are high. Combined with our continued retail sales network expansion and a growing customer base, we are setting the foundations for profitable growth and operational improvement.”

Polestar famously went four years with just one model on sale – the Polestar 2. In 2024 it launched the Polestar 3, a large family SUV, and the Polestar 4, a lower-slung performance-focused fastback.

Its new product launch will be spearheaded by the Polestar 5, with first customer deliveries this summer. The high-performance grand tourer is Polestar’s halo model, offering up to 871bhp and 416 miles of range in a sleek four-door body.

Following that will be the Polestar 4 estate, which Lohscheller said would open the brand up to a wider customer base.

Lohscheller said: “With this car, Polestar will once again set new standards. 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.”

The Polestar 4 estate will go on sale in the final months of 2026 and sit alongside the existing fastback model.

An all-new Polestar 2 will arrive in 2027, built on a new platform and developed with “record speed”. Lohscheller said that more than 190,000 Polestar 2s had been sold since its launch and it would continue to play a key role in the brand’s future.

After that, the previously teased Polestar 7 will arrive in 2028 to move the brand into an all-new segment.

“With Polestar 7 we are entering the largest EV segment in Europe, the compact SUV segment, which accounts for approximately one-third of total BEV volumes in 2025,” said Lohscheller. “We are convinced that we can offer customers a progressive performance-driven car for a very attractive price point, built in Europe.”
