Created and designed from the Precept concept car, first unveiled in 2020 the Polestar 5 is that future vision realised in production. Polestar 5 features some interesting and unusual features.
Polestar Design developed the Precept Concept Car into production with minimal modifications. They created a 5-metre Grand Tourer smooth roofline.

The front seats of the 4+1 seat electric GT have been designed by Recaro in collaboration with the interior of the vehicle. They are finished in Charcoal microtech as standard, or Bridge of Weir Nappa Leather.
The rear seats are designed primarily for four passengers. They can control the climate system with four zones, the seat heating and ventilation, as well as the massage functions. These rear seats are designed in the same way as Recaro’s fronts, and they can be reclined to suit your comfort.
Front brakes feature Brembo 4-piston callipers that are also found on the Polestar 3. The lightweight 400mm 2-piece discs combined with this system save 12kg compared to the SUV’s. This improves unsprung mass and handling.
