The Polestar 5 Performance marks a major step for the Swedish brand: it is a large electric grand tourer designed to combine strong performance with long-distance comfort.

It remains a highly ambitious car aimed at buyers looking for a premium alternative to better-known electric performance models. For the Italian market too, the key questions are clear: range, build quality and driving dynamics will decide whether it can truly make an impact.
