About the Polestar 5 Dual Motor

The Polestar 5 Dual Motor represents the Swedish performance brand’s vision of the next generation of grand touring electric vehicles, combining striking fastback styling, advanced technology, and exceptional long-range capability. Designed to bridge the gap between luxury, performance, and sustainability, it delivers an engaging driving experience while remaining practical enough for everyday use.

At the heart of the Polestar 5 is a powerful dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing an impressive 550 kW and 812 Nm of torque. With instant electric power delivered to all four wheels, the sleek electric hatchback accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of approximately 155 mph, offering performance that comfortably rivals many traditional high-performance grand tourers.

Power is supplied by a substantial 106 kWh usable battery pack, designed to provide both strong performance and impressive long-distance usability. EV Database estimates a practical real-world driving range of around 360 miles, making the Polestar 5 equally at home on daily commutes and cross-country journeys. Official WLTP figures may vary depending on market specification, equipment levels, wheel configurations, and driving conditions.

Charging capabilities are equally impressive. The Polestar 5 supports Type 2 AC charging for home and workplace charging, alongside ultra-rapid CCS DC charging at up to 350 kW. Under ideal conditions, a typical rapid-charging session can take approximately 22 minutes, allowing drivers to recover significant range in the time it takes to enjoy a short break.
