Polestar Australia will soon have an electric car line-up to rival Tesla as the 3, 4 and 5 charge up for launch

Polestar Australia has just started delivery its Polestar 2 electric car to local customers, but it already has its eye on the future of the brand with the launch of the 3, 4 and 5 models in the coming years.

Planned for an early 2022 introduction, the all-electric Polestar 3 will compete in the hot-selling premium large SUV segment against the likes of the Tesla Model X.

However, the brand has bigger ambitions for its new SUV, stating it will target premium German brands like Porsche, BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz with the Polestar 3.

That means the iX, EQS SUV and e-tron are also firmly in Polestar’s sights.

Unlike the Polestar 2, the Polestar 3 will be built in the South Carolina, US and be based on the same platform as the Volvo XC90, though with more of a performance focus than its cousin.

Exact details are yet to be revealed, but the Polestar is developing a new powertrain that offers up 450kW in the single-motor, rear-drive configuration.

A 650kW dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup could also be on the cards for higher grades of the Polestar 3, giving it enough punch to match its intended rivals.

After the Polestar 3, the aptly-named Polestar 4 will then be introduced to Australia in early 2024, followed by the Polestar 5 in 2025.

The yet-to-be-revealed Polestar 4 will be a mid-size premium SUV targeting the BMW iX3, Mercedes-Benz EQC and Tesla Model Y, but don’t expect it to be a shrunk down version of the Polestar 3.

Overseas media is reporting that the two upcoming SUVs will differ in style, with the Polestar 4 set for a more coupe-like design compared to the SUV shape of the Polestar 3.

Production of the Polestar 4 is expected to come from China, like the Polestar 2, though powertrain options are still yet to be revealed.

Finally, the Polestar 5 will be a sleek four-door coupe designed to compete directly against the Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan, Mercedes-Benz EQS and Audi e-tron GT.

Previewed by the Precept concept and riding on its own unique platform, the Polestar 5 should sit comfortably amongst its contemporaries as a comfortable long-range grand tourer with potent performance.

And what of the 02 concept shown earlier this month?

The model is expected to spawn a production version (maybe the Polestar 6 if the brand’s naming conventions remain consistent) and will serve as the sportscar halo for the brand.

As a hardtop convertible with two doors, the 02 concept lines up nicely against the still-yet-to-launch second-generation Tesla Roadster, but as a design exercise for now, no powertrain details have been revealed.
