The 2026 Polestar 5 is a battery-electric sedan with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Polestar 5 (Gen 1) generation. The Performance is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Performance version develops 884 hp and 1,015 Nm (749 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 3.2 seconds, which is seriously quick. Top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph). Its power output is about 77% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 32% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 112.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 558 km (347 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 21.2 kWh/100km. Its listed range is about 5% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 5,087 mm (200.3 in) in length, 2,015 mm (79.3 in) in width, and 1,419 mm (55.9 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 3,054 mm (120.2 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 365 litres (12.9 cu ft), expanding to 1,128 litres (39.8 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,800 kg (3,968 lb). That cargo volume is about 23% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Performance and Dual Motor. Across the range, the specifications span 748 hp to 884 hp, 3.2 s to 3.9 s, and 558 km to 678 km. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2026 Polestar 5 is strongest on power and acceleration, while cargo capacity stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
