Technology

In-house development extends to the technology of Polestar 5, with the minimalistic, intuitive UX. With Google built-in, the Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and more, the in-car grand touring experience has never been more connected.

Google built-in

Experience convenience in the smartest way possible. Integrated Google¹ services simplify road navigation, enabling actions via voice commands and providing the ability to control Polestar 5 remotely.

Google Maps

With functionalities like battery-minded route planning, live updates, and the route-to-car functionality, Google Maps is the smarter way to drive daily commutes or to new destinations.

Google Assistant

Give a voice command and Google Assistant can turn up the music, plan a route, or perform a variety of other tasks without taking attention away from the road ahead.

Google Home integration

Communicate with any compatible Google Home device via voice commands. Because setting the thermostat or turning on the kitchen lights from the driveway is the new way to say “I’m home”.

Google Play store

From YouTube to Waze to Spotify, hundreds of in-car apps are available to download in Polestar 5 via the Google Play store. They are developed and optimised for seamless operation with the car’s infotainment system.

Bowers & Wilkins for Polestar

A household name for audiophiles, the Bowers & Wilkins sound system for Polestar 5 is a precise arrangement of 21 speakers totalling up to 1,680 watts. It combines with the car’s unique interior architecture to deliver crisp, true-to-studio sound. The best audio system isn't the one that gives the most. It's the one that loses the least.

Available as an upgrade. Included with Performance.

Over-the-air updates

With over-the-air updates, Polestar 5 receives new features and updates without ever needing to visit a workshop. This ensures the digital in-car experience stays modern and progressive no matter the mileage.
