2022 Polestar new cars

Volvo’s electric vehicle spin-off arrives on Australian shores this month, with a small to mid-size sedan targeting the Tesla Model 3.

Once known for high-performance, turbocharged Volvo cars, Polestar will return to Australia this year as a maker of Tesla-rivalling electric cars with a performance skew.

Polestar’s first model – the Tesla Model 3-rivalling Polestar 2 sedan – will go on sale later this month, priced from $59,900 before on-road costs, and available in a choice of three variants (offered with a selection of option packs).

Beyond the Polestar 2’s launch, however, the Swedish-Chinese car maker’s 2022 is quiet, with the brand’s focus placed on growing awareness and sales, and establishing a network of Polestar Spaces (retail stores in shopping centres) and Polestar Destinations (out-of-town locations for vehicle deliveries).

Polestar will reveal its next model, the Polestar 3 large electric SUV, sometime in 2022 – though Drive expects it won’t reach Australian shores until early in 2023.

Set to follow is a Polestar 4 mid-size SUV in 2023, followed by the Polestar 5 sedan in 2024 – both of which will be built in right-hand drive, suggesting they will likely be sold in Australia. Launch timing, pricing and other details are yet to be confirmed.
