Polestar has just released an exhilarating walkaround film unveiling the Polestar 5 four-door performance Grand Tourer, and naturally, it's a cinematic masterpiece. This isn't just a car; it's the sleek, sculpted reality of the visionary Precept concept, first glimpsed in 2020 as a bold promise of the brand's future in design, technology, and sustainability. That future, darlings, is now production-ready.
The star of this in-house creative triumph? None other than the exquisitely enigmatic Hollywood fixture, Alexander Skarsgård, a man who already possesses impeccable taste, having driven a Polestar 3 since 2024. Set against a backdrop of compelling minimalism, the film is an immersive, high-fashion glimpse into the innovation and sheer, visceral performance that define this flagship Grand Tourer. It's an invitation to step into the electric epoch.
Skarsgård, a face you know from prestige dramas like Succession and Big Little Lies, guides us through the exquisite engineering of the Polestar 5—a machine that distills Polestar's entire performance vision into one breathtaking silhouette. This Grand Tourer is built on the bespoke Polestar Performance Architecture (PPA), utilizing bonded aluminium—a technique that blesses it with supercar-level torsional rigidity, peerless safety, and a welcome lightness that steel simply can't touch.
Under the hood, the dual-motor powerhouse is a testament to cutting-edge performance. Featuring an in-house-developed rear unit, it boasts a staggering 650 kW of power and a colossal 1,015 Nm of torque, all juiced by an 800 V electrical architecture. Pair that with a host of sustainable innovations, and the Polestar 5 makes a definitive, exhilarating statement: there is, without a shadow of a doubt, a better alternative on the road.
As Skarsgård's character coolly notes, "Fantastic. Tomorrow's not dead yet," confirming what we suspected all along: with the arrival of the Polestar 5, the future isn't something we're waiting for—it's already arrived.
