Polestar has unveiled a new film showcasing the Polestar 5 four-door performance Grand Tourer. Born from the Precept concept, first unveiled in 2020 as a statement of intent for the brand’s future design, technology, and sustainability vision, Polestar 5 is that future vision realized in production.
The film stars acclaimed Hollywood actor Alexander Skarsgård, who has driven a Polestar 3 since 2024. Produced entirely by Polestar’s in-house creative team, the film offers an immersive look at the design, innovation, and performance that define the brand’s flagship Grand Tourer. Set against a minimalist backdrop, the film offers a cinematic introduction to the all-new Polestar 5, inviting viewers to experience the future of electric performance.
Skarsgård, known from Murderbot, Pillion, Succession, Big Little Lies and more, guides viewers through the key features of the Polestar 5 – an electric Grand Tourer that perfectly embodies Polestar’s performance vision in a single car. The Polestar 5 is built on the bespoke Polestar Performance Architecture (PPA) using bonded aluminum to provide supercar-level torsional rigidity, increased safety, and lighter weight than steel. With dual motors, including an in-house developed rear unit, featuring 650 kW (884 hp) of power, 1,015 Nm of torque (749 lb-ft), an 800 V electrical architecture, and a host of sustainable innovations, Polestar 5 is proof that there is a better alternative for automotive.
“Fantastic. Tomorrow’s not dead yet,” states Skarsgård’s character, emphasizing the fact that with Polestar 5, the future is already here.
The film is now live on Polestar’s official channels.
