Polestar 7


The Polestar 7 is an upcoming battery electric compact luxury SUV developed by Polestar, a Swedish electric-vehicle manufacturer jointly owned by Volvo Cars and Geely. The model is scheduled for launch in 2028 and will be produced in Europe.

Development and Production

Polestar confirmed in 2025 that the Polestar 7 will be manufactured at Volvo Cars' new facility in Košice, Slovakia, marking the brand's first European-built model.
The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with Volvo Cars covering joint development and production of the vehicle. Construction of the Košice plant began in 2023, with full production capacity planned before 2030.

Platform and Technology

The Polestar 7 will utilise a shared technology base within the Volvo–Geely group, incorporating advances such as cell-to-body battery integration, mega-casting, and next-generation electric motors.
While Polestar has not yet released specifications for powertrain, range, or battery size, it has stated that the 7 will employ the group's next-generation modular EV architecture.

Design and Naming

Polestar has described the 7 as a "premium compact SUV", positioned below the Polestar 3 and 4. It follows the company's numerical naming convention, succeeding the Polestar 6 sports car in the brand's model line-up.
The model will feature Polestar's established minimalist Scandinavian design language.
