First launched in 2022, the Polestar 2 was the first fully electric model from the Chinese-owned Swedish brand. However, things move fast in the EV market, so Polestar has given its stylish crossover a substantial overhaul.

Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller has announced that his brand will be taking on the world’s best-selling car, the Tesla Model Y, with a new model that’s expected to go on sale by the end of the decade. To compete head-on with the Model Y, the Polestar 7 would have to come with a starting price at today’s prices in the mid £40,000s.

Swedish electric car maker Polestar has announced it is working on a new car, called the 7, and that it will be produced in Europe.

It'll be the brand’s first vehicle built on the Old Continent, as governments put pressure on Chinese auto production.

Polestar will add an electric four-door grand tourer to its lineup later this year, before expanding with another compact SUV later this decade.
