The Polestar 2 electric crossover won’t be directly replaced by a like-for-like successor when it reaches the end of its planned life, instead being succeeded by a substantially different new car called the 7.
The Polestar 7 is positioned to be a key player in the electric compact SUV market, designed to appeal to a broader customer base with a lower starting price compared to the Polestar 2.
It will be built in Europe on a single-platform architecture to streamline costs and will feature cutting-edge technology, including potentially 800-volt electrics and 350kW charging capabilities.
The vehicle is expected to have a practical five-door body with a design that continues Polestar’s design ethos while emphasizing performance elements.
Polestar’s CEO, Michael Lohscheller, emphasizes the importance of the 7 in expanding Polestar’s market presence and achieving significant growth and profitability by 2027
