Swedish electric vehicle (EV) brand Polestar has unveiled a new design concept called Formula 2030, which offers a glimpse into the future of its vehicle designs. This concept car will debut globally in October and is intended to guide the visual direction of upcoming models, including the next iteration of the Polestar 2 and the new Polestar 7, a compact electric SUV. The concept was developed under the leadership of Polestar’s new head of design, Philipp Römers, and the company emphasizes that it represents a natural evolution of its current Scandinavian-inspired design rather than a complete departure. Key design elements from existing models, such as the Dual Blade headlights, will remain, ensuring that the brand’s identity stays recognizable while showcasing new directions in exterior and interior design, materials, and sustainability efforts. Römers explained that Polestar’s strong existing design identity meant the company needed a bold but respectful evolution rather than a complete overhaul. “Formula 2030 delivers this,” he said, highlighting how the concept preserves brand-defining features while pointing toward the company’s future. This concept is also a part of Polestar’s broader strategy as it moves toward 2030, aiming to grow its market presence and achieve profitability. The recently introduced Polestar 4 SUV is the latest addition to the lineup, complementing the existing coupé-style Polestar 4 saloon. The SUV starts at £54,750 and includes a more conventional rear window, increased interior space (up to 1,665 liters of luggage space), and a claimed range of 391 miles on a single charge for the longest-range version. Polestar has also been updating its larger Polestar 3 SUV, enhancing its performance with an 800V electrical system that allows for rapid charging at up to 350kW. This means the vehicle can charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 22 minutes. The Polestar 3 can now achieve up to 402 miles on a single charge, depending on the model, and includes improvements to its motors, steering, suspension, and computing systems. Meanwhile, Polestar is working toward an expanded lineup of vehicles, moving beyond the original Polestar 2 introduced in 2020. The Formula 2030 concept provides the first visual clue of how this broader range will be unified in design. The replacement for the current Polestar 2 is scheduled to arrive in 2027, while the Polestar 7, a compact electric SUV, is planned for production in Europe. These new models, along with the Formula 2030 concept, suggest that Polestar is positioning itself for continued growth and innovation in the electric vehicle market. The company’s focus on design evolution, performance, and sustainability will play a key role in shaping its future product lineup.
