This electric grand tourer traces its roots to the 2020 Precept concept, which Polestar used to signal the design, sustainability, and technology direction of its future cars. The production version was first shown publicly as a prototype in 2022 and then fully brought into view in 2025, when the company positioned it as the production realization of that earlier concept. It marks the brand’s move into a high-end four-door GT format, combining a low-slung silhouette, 4+1 seating, and a strong emphasis on performance-oriented packaging rather than conventional luxury-sedan form.
Historically, the car is important because it is the first to use the brand’s bespoke in-house EV architecture, developed specifically for this program rather than shared with another product line. That technical and strategic significance makes it a halo model for the brand’s modern era. Polestar’s official materials describe it as the most powerful vehicle it has produced to date, but more importantly for historical context, it represents the maturity of the company’s design language and its effort to establish a distinct identity beyond its earlier volume models.
Commercially, sales opened on September 8, and customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in summer 2026. Polestar’s own sustainability documents identify 2025 as the first model year, so that is the earliest model year associated with the nameplate. As of now, it is an active model in production rather than a discontinued line, and there is no evidence of an earlier, separate production run under the same name.
