From Electrifying.
The new Polestar 5 is finally here and Nicola has been among the first to drive it on proper roads, including the final leg of Polestar’s epic Sweden-to-Sahara road trip through southern Spain and Gibraltar.
This sleek new electric GT is aimed straight at the Porsche Taycan, Lotus Emeya and Mercedes EQS, bringing up to 884hp, a claimed 421 miles of range and ultra-fast 350kW charging. But is it actually good enough to tempt buyers away from Porsche?
In this video, Nicola finds out what the Polestar 5 is really like to drive, whether the clever MagneRide suspension lives up to the hype, and if the Performance version is worth the extra cash. There’s also a closer look at the dramatic exterior design, the minimalist Scandinavian interior, the controversial missing rear window and the surprisingly compact boot.
The Polestar 5 sits on a completely bespoke platform engineered with help from former Aston Martin and Lotus experts, and it promises supercar pace with long-distance comfort. But with the electric Jaguar looming on the horizon, should you buy this now, stick with a Taycan, or wait to see what Jag delivers?
Watch to the end for Nicola’s full verdict, and let us know in the comments whether you’d choose the Polestar 5 over its rivals.
