Polestar unveils a station wagon version of the 4

New Models Overview
Polestar is gearing up to launch three new models in the next two years, including a station‑wagon (estate or shooting brake) version of the Polestar 4 that harkens back to the company’s Volvo roots. The Geely‑owned Swedish company sold a record 61,000 EVs in 2025, and hopes the new models will help it capture an even larger share of the market.
“We want to get more volume out of a bigger cake,” CEO Michael Lohscheller said.
Polestar 4: SUV and Wagon Variants
Polestar currently offers two models in the US, the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, both SUVs.
The upcoming Polestar 4 will be available in two variants:
- Traditional SUV – as before.
- Four‑door wagon – a station‑wagon version that combines “the space of an estate and the versatility of an SUV.”
“It’s all the good things from the current car, but it’s a bit more practical,” Lohscheller added.
The wagon is due later this year and will be built in Busan, South Korea, to avoid US tariffs on cars built in China.
Polestar 2 Update
Polestar is also planning a new version of the Polestar 2 aimed at younger buyers. This model will be slightly longer for additional passenger space and will be produced in China, like the current Polestar 2. It is unlikely to be offered in the US market.
Polestar 7
The Polestar 7 will be a compact SUV in the same family as Volvo’s EX60, set to arrive in Europe to address the fast‑growing compact‑SUV segment.
“We are convinced that we can offer customers a progressive, performance‑driven car for a very attractive price point, built in Europe,” Lohscheller said.
Strategic Goals
The new models are designed to help Polestar reach its goal of 60 percent of global EV sales by “targeting the big profit pools of the BEV segment,” according to the CEO. After withdrawing from the hyper‑competitive Chinese market, Europe now accounts for 78 percent of Polestar’s sales, with the US making up most of the remainder.
“People forget that the U.S. is a big EV market, especially on the east and west coasts,” Lohscheller added. “And it will stay a big market.”
