The Polestar 5 is a striking electric super-saloon. The road test highlights strong performance, excellent stability and a more engaging driving character than usually associated with battery-powered luxury cars.
The project appears successful, but its launch comes later than originally planned. In the meantime, competition has grown, and the model must attract buyers in an already crowded premium segment.
