Polestar 5Performance - Launch edition
21-inch Performance wheels
Forged and laser-etched with an intricate mult-spoke pattern, the 21-inch Performance wheels brandish the speed and power of Polestar 5 at a glance. Reinforced strength combine with bespoke Michelin tyres provide the performance needed for fast intercontinental touring.
Polestar Engineered chassis tuning with MagneRide dampers
The four MagneRide dampers contain magnetised fluid, which instantly changes viscosity in response to the road surface. The driver can select between three settings to adjust the ride quality of Polestar 5, allowing the Grand Tourer to match even the toughest performance situations.
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.
Swedish gold seatbelts
A stand-out detail in the minimalistic interior, the seatbelts in Swedish gold are a tribute to the Scandinavian and performance-oriented heritage of Polestar 5.
Swedish gold Brembo brakes and valve caps
Iconic in the world of motorsport, Brembo is synonymous with high-performance brake technology. The ventilated discs and four-piston front callipers give consistent stopping power in all conditions and temperatures, even during repeated braking under load.
High-gloss black lower claddings and mirror caps
The lower body claddings and mirror caps emphasise the sleek exterior and the aerodynamic potential of Polestar 5.
MicroSuede headlining
Produced with partly recycled polyester PET yarns, the Polestar-developed MicroSuede fabric lends the cabin roof additional elegance.
Rotary control
Subtle yet sophisticated. The rotary control is lined with a halo of Swedish gold, symbolising the progressive technology, design, and performance of Polestar 5 all at once.

³ Electric vehicles sold in the UK are measured against a standardized metric for range. The Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) measures the range of a car travelling at an average speed of 28.8 mph in summer temperatures from a 100% to 0% state of charge. The actual range achieved under real conditions varies depending on driving behaviour and other external factors. The certified WLTP range is therefore normally not achievable in real life. Please learn more about WLTP here.
