Polestar has confirmed its plan to launch a new compact SUV called the 7.

Announced as part of the brand's 2025 Strategy Update, the 7 has been described as a "a premium compact SUV".

No further details or specs have been shared, yet, but it's likely the new model will use the Geely SEA2 platform, like the Smart #1 and Volvo EX30.

The Polestar 7 was originally billed as a replacement for the Polestar 2. 

Philipp Römers, Polestar head of design, said: “Polestar is known for its progressive design, with each car standing out and creating its own buzz – so too will Polestar 7. It is incredibly exciting to bring Polestar’s design ethos to a new segment. Polestar 7 will be everything our customers expect from us, both in terms of design and performance.”

Before the 7 launches, Polestar will introduce the 5 to its model line-up. Based on the Precept concept, sales of the Polestar 5 are expected to start later this year.
