Polestar 7, the sixth model of the Geely-backed brand, will feature a 90kWh battery and adopt a 900V electrical architecture — the company revealed during a presentation at the J.P. Morgan European Automotive Conference.
The update marks the first time the company has provided specific performance-related specifications for the future entry-level model, which is positioned in the “C premium” segment.
Production of the Polestar 7 is planned for Europe, a detail previously disclosed. The company has plans to begin manufacturing on the Old Continent in 2027.
Manufacturing in Europe will allow the company to sidestep the tariffs imposed by the European Commission late last year on all fully electric vehicles imported from China.
Earlier this month, Autocar reported that Polestar had not yet confirmed whether it will develop a dedicated platform for the 7 or adapt an architecture from the wider Geely group, as it has done for all current models.
Regardless of the technical base, Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller emphasized the brand’s focus on preserving its identity across the lineup.
“We’ll make sure we get the Polestar DNA right into it. That’s the key task of our R&D teams: to make sure that Polestar DNA, in terms of chassis tuning, behaviour, look and feel, comes in, and it behaves totally like a Polestar,” Lohscheller said.
Polestar also previewed additional upcoming models, including the Polestar 5 and 6, both of which are expected to use a high-performance 800V architecture and 112kWh batteries, with system output of up to 650kW (884 hp).
Alongside the Polestar 7, the company also detailed progress on two high-performance vehicles due to launch in the coming years: the Polestar 5 and Polestar 6.
Both models will be built on an 800V electrical system and feature 112kWh battery packs.
The Polestar 5, a luxury GT 4-door slated for production in 2025, will deliver up to 650kW (884 hp) and is expected to offer 700 km of range. The Polestar 6, a two-door 2+2 roadster, will share the same drivetrain with a projected range of 650 km.
Earlier this month, Polestar said it secured a $200 million equity investment from PSD Investment Limited, an existing shareholder controlled by Eric Li, founder and chairman of its backer Geely Holding Group.
Between January and March, Polestar reported a net loss of $190 million.
Polestar began this month selling the 2026 Polestar 4 in the United States, priced from $56,400, with production scheduled to start in Busan, South Korea. First deliveries are expected to begin this fall.
The company has recently launched orders in France, marking its 28th market globally. Polestar will sell directly online and via Volvo Cars’ retail network, giving customers access to more than 100 service points nationwide.
