Polestar's next electric car will be a compact SUV called the Polestar 7the automaker confirmed Thursday in a business update.
The Polestar 7 will be produced in Europeand will mark the start of a move to a common architecture for future cars, according to Polestar. The brand currently relies on a variety of platforms shared with other brands under the Geely corporate umbrella, but has been emphasizing the engineering work of the future vehicles, while continuing to differentiate the exterior design.

“Polestar is known for its progressive design, each car stands out and creates its own sound – and so will the Polestar 7,” said design manager Philipp Römers in a statement.
It's time to start it was not discussed, but the Polestar was two other models already in its line. The automaker also confirmed that the Polestar 5 will go on sale in the second half of this year. The four-door fastback looks to be a huge technological leap for Polestar, with an 800-volt architecture for fast charging and larger battery cells for increased range.

The automaker did not provide any updates at this time, but in 2022 confirm the Polestar 6 roadster for production in 2026. Time was still running last July, when Polestar showed the Concept BST, showing a spicier version of the convertible sports car.
Ambitious plans to expand the model list are accompanied by ambitious plans to increase sales. Polestar said it aims to increase global sales volume by 30%-35% between 2025 and 2027, helped by a 75% increase in sales locations, while maintaining its current model of a mix of direct sales and service handled by traditional dealers. Polestar claimed a 5.3% increase in global sales in the fourth quarter of 2024, but a 37.2% increase in new orders over that period.
