On November 23rd, according to foreign reports, Polestar has named the production version of their concept car, the Polestar Precept, the Polestar 5. The new car is expected to be in production in 2024.
In July of this year, Polestar released a video series on YouTube called “Polestar Precept: From Concept to Car” that highlighted the development of the Polestar Precept concept car from theory to implementation. The latest episode of the series, released yesterday, focuses on the design aspects of the car’s exterior.
Polestar 5 is an electric performance 4-door GT that Polestar plans to release in 2024. The car’s exterior design will be mostly reminiscent of the concept car, with the primary difference being that the concept car’s gullwing doors have been replaced by conventional doors. The concept car has an impressive appearance, with sharp and striking lines. The bump on the top of the Polestar Precept concept car has been removed from the production version, and whether the mass-produced version of the car includes a hidden design or eliminates the laser radar system remains to be seen.
Polestar has referred to the Polestar 5 as an “electric performance four-door luxury car,” putting it in competition with other luxury electric vehicles such as the Tesla Model S, Mercedes-Benz EQS, Audi E-tron GT, and Lucid Air.So far, Polestar has only released two models: the hybrid two-door sports car Polestar 1 and the four-door sedan Polestar 2. Polestar 3 is an electric crossover SUV expected to be released in 2022.
According to Polestar’s 2024 timeline for the release of Polestar 5, the new car may be produced at the Chongqing factory built in 2024.
Polestar has not released information regarding the price, battery size, range, and motor configuration of Polestar 5. As a reference, Polestar 2 has 408 horsepower, equipped with a 78 kWh battery pack, and has a range of 470 km.
