Polestar 5 – Dual Motor & Performance (2025): Specs, Pricing, and Why They Matter
Polestar’s flagship four-door GT finally lands in Europe with two trims that share a bespoke bonded-aluminium platform, a big 106 kWh usable battery, and 800 V electrics—then diverge into either long-legged touring (Dual Motor) or Taycan-baiting thrust (Performance). Both are built in Chongqing, China, by the Swedish brand under Geely/Volvo stewardship.
Polestar 5 Dual Motor
Grand-touring spec with the best real-world range of the pair and still ferocious pace. If you road-trip a lot, this is the sweet spot.

| Available since | September 2025 |
| Range (EVDB real, km) | 580 |
| Battery (usable, kWh) | 106.0 |
| Efficiency (Wh/km) | 183 |
| Fast-charge (kW) | 350 (max), ~210 kW typical 10–80% |
| Weight (kg) | 2 462 |
| 0–100 km/h (s) | 3.9 |
| Towing (kg) | 1 800 (braked), 750 (unbraked) |

Why it’s hot: 580 km real-world range plus 800 V, 350 kW DC charging means fewer, shorter stops; at ~€118k it undercuts many ultra-lux GT rivals while towing up to 1.8 tonnes and seating four in comfort.
Polestar 5 Performance
The headline act swaps some range for savage thrust: dual motors tuned to 650 kW (884 PS) and 1 015 Nm. Think “electric super-saloon” energy with 0–100 in 3.2 s.

Summary
Both Polestar 5 variants use a 106 kWh (usable) pack on an 800 V architecture and support up to 350 kW DC charging. The Dual Motor focuses on efficiency and distance (580 km EVDB, 698 km 1-stop), while the Performance trades ~50 km of range for 3.2-second launches and 650 kW output. Production for both is in Chongqing, China; Polestar is a Swedish marque under the Geely/Volvo umbrella.
