New Polestar 5 (2026) — first pictures

Polestar has released the first official images of its upcoming 2026 Polestar 5, a high-end electric grand tourer designed to challenge the Porsche Taycan in the premium performance EV segment. The sleek four-door coupe-style bodywork features Polestar’s signature Scandinavian minimalist design language, with sharp creases, a low roofline, and a wide stance. The car rides on large alloy wheels and features a full-width LED light bar at the rear, reinforcing its futuristic look.

The model is developed in the UK and represents Polestar’s push into the top tier of the electric performance car market. While detailed specifications and pricing remain under wraps, the Polestar 5 is expected to offer a blend of luxury, performance, and sustainability, staying true to the brand’s eco-conscious ethos. The release of these images follows earlier teasers and confirms the car’s arrival as a serious contender in the electric GT space.
