Polestar Formula 2030 concept previews next Polestar 2 and 7

Key takeaways

• Concept previews design details for the next Polestar 2, due in 2027
• Physical controls return, with a 20-inch driver display and 12.2-inch centre screen
• No powertrain, production or Australian details have been confirmed

Polestar has fully unveiled its Formula 2030 concept, a low four-door electric sports car that previews design details for the next Polestar 2 and the Polestar 7. It measures 4680mm long, 2021mm wide and 1350mm tall, lower than the Polestar 5. Polestar has not confirmed it for production, and powertrain, battery and pricing details have not been released.

Polestar Formula 2030 concept design

Polestar calls it a compact, practical four-door sports car on a 2780mm wheelbase. The doors open in opposing directions with no B-pillar, exposing four individual seats. It rides on 22-inch centre-lock wheels with gold Brembo brake calipers, and Öhlins dampers are visible in the boot.

Up front, Polestar’s Dual Blade headlights preview the face of the next Polestar 2, due in 2027. The rear drops the full-width light bar used across Polestar’s current range for a new Single Blade tail-light, which Polestar’s design chief Philipp Römers says will feature on the next Polestar 2 and the Polestar 7. The paint is a new finish called Nitrogen, a fresh take on Polestar’s pearlescent white.

The boot opens as a clamshell with a transparent floor, and the front storage area holds two race helmets and a fire extinguisher.

Polestar Formula 2030 interior and controls

The cabin is built around the driver. A curved 20-inch display called HyperDIM sits on the steering column, with a 12.2-inch centre screen on a rising console. A mode selector switches between Performance, Normal and Autonomous settings, moving the centre screen and the steering wheel position.

Below the screen is a panel of eight physical controls, including switches and dials. Owners can swap the control types and program what each does. It is a move away from the touchscreen-heavy approach of recent Polestar models. Google Gemini is built in, and the race-style seats have inflatable bolsters.

The concept will not go on sale. Polestar says “various design attributes” will appear on the next Polestar 2 in 2027 and the Polestar 7 compact SUV in 2028.

Powertrain figures, battery size and pricing are all still to come, and Polestar has not said whether any of the concept’s mechanical features will reach production.
