In the UK, Polestar stands out as the fastest-growing premium automotive brand, reflecting growing consumer interest and the brand’s expanding model lineup, which includes the Polestar 2, 3, 4, and 5. Polestar’s strategic focus on key markets across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, alongside production expansion plans in Europe with models like the Polestar 7, are fueling this growth.

CEO Michael Lohscheller highlighted the company’s resilience amid market challenges, stating, “Despite continued external headwinds and challenging market conditions, our line-up and strong order intake provide a solid basis for growth in the fourth quarter.”

While Polestar has exited direct retail operations in China, opting to focus on online sales, its influence there remains through manufacturing and strategic investments, including a $200 million capital injection from Geely, a major stakeholder.

Polestar’s growth underscores its rising position as a key player in the premium electric vehicle segment, with ambitious sustainability goals aimed at halving greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle by 2030 and achieving climate neutrality across its value chain by 2040.

With continued momentum and an expanding footprint, Polestar is accelerating towards a future of sustainable and innovative electric mobility.
