Introduced in 2023 and brought to market as a 2024-model-year vehicle, this electric SUV coupé marked a major expansion of Polestar’s line-up. It was developed as a new nameplate rather than a reworked version of an earlier model, and Polestar positioned it between its compact fastback and larger SUV offerings. The design emphasizes coupe-like styling with SUV packaging, and one of its most distinctive traits is the rear-cabin layout, which replaces a traditional rear window with a camera-based digital rearview system.
The model first reached customers in China at the end of 2023, then went on sale in Europe and Australia in early 2024, with North American sales following later. That phased rollout made it one of Polestar’s key global launches of the mid-2020s. In Polestar’s own product history, it is presented as the brand’s second SUV and as a continuation of the design themes previewed by earlier concept cars.
This nameplate remains part of the current Polestar range, so there is no final model year to record yet. Its significance lies less in a long historical run than in its role as a newer, more experimental addition to the brand’s portfolio: a premium electric crossover that blends avant-garde styling, a strong emphasis on rear-passenger comfort, and the brand’s minimalist Scandinavian design identity.
