Polestar expands EV lineup with 3 new, more powerful models

More EVs from Polestar? Yes, please

Polestar, the Swedish automaker owned by Volvo, has only one fully electric vehicle currently available in the U.S. market — the Polestar 2, a competitor of the Tesla Model 3. However, for Polestar to catch up with its biggest rivals, it needs to expand its lineup with more EV models — and it has plans to do so.

It first unveiled the Polestar 3 in 2022; delivery was expected to start in 2023, but it may take longer than that. The Swedish automaker also unveiled the 2025 Polestar 4 in April this year. Meanwhile, we only saw the concept version of the Polestar 5 until recently during the Polestar Day event when the production model was unveiled. The Polestar 6 also made a brief appearance, and we caught a glimpse of what it might look like. What can you expect in the upcoming Polestar models?

The Polestar 3 will have V2G capability

The Polestar 3 SUV will be equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability. This means that if you own a Polestar 3, you could use it to back up your home and send power back to the grid in case of a power outage. Better yet, V2G technology makes it possible to charge your EV during off-peak hours and sell power back to the utility company during high-demand hours to reduce your electricity bills. The same technology will also be available on the Volvo EX90, which is built on the same platform as the Polestar 3.

Polestar also disclosed that it’s working on a virtual power plant that will connect all Polestar 3 EVs connected to the grid to share energy and monetize while supporting sustainable energy. Beyond that, the Polestar 3 will have a more extended range and a more powerful motor than the Polestar 2. More succinctly, the Polestar 3 is expected to have a range of up to 379 miles and a maximum power output of 517 hp.

The Polestar 4 will have a faster acceleration

The Polestar 4 crossover coupe will be built with dual electric motors to produce up to 544 horsepower. This will be sufficient for it to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in about 3.8 seconds, making it faster than Polestar 3 and Polestar 2. What’s even more interesting is that Polestar says that the Polestar 4 will have “the lowest carbon footprint” than any other Polestar vehicle ever made.

If we go back to when the Polestar 4 was first unveiled, we noticed it was missing a rear window, and instead, it opted for a rear-mounted camera. Well, we had our concerns about what would happen if the camera failed or if the image was distorted or obstructed. During the Polestar Day event, the automaker announced it intends to fix those potential problems using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors to construct a 3D map of the vehicle’s surroundings. This means that even if the rear-mounted camera fails, you can still rely on the LiDAR sensors to detect any nearby object.

The Polestar 5 will compete against the Porsche Taycan

The Polestar 5 fastback sedan is expected to produce up to 884 horsepower. If it delivers, it will be more powerful and probably faster than the Porsche Taycan. It will also include a 103-kWh battery with an estimated range of 300 miles, which is better than what you would get on a Porsche Taycan. However, the Polestar 5 is not coming anytime soon, and you may have to wait until 2025.

But if you want a convertible Polestar sports car, you may need to wait until 2026, when the Polestar 6 is expected to be shipped out of the production line. It will be built using the same architecture and powertrain as the Polestar 5 to deliver 884 horsepower. We don’t know how fast it will accelerate, but it could be a contender for one of the fastest electric cars in the world

Jeep unveils the all-new Cherokee to debut late 2025
New Jeep Cherokee coming late 2025

When the Cherokee left Jeep's lineup at the end of 2023, it created a noticeable gap between the smaller Compass and the midsize Grand Cherokee, leaving a lot of potential buyers wondering what happened. The Cherokee has always been a strong player in a super competitive field, going head-to-head with big names like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Equinox, and Hyundai Tucson. So, it was a bit confusing when Jeep pulled the plug on the last generation without having a replacement lined up. After two years of sitting on the sidelines, Jeep is finally bringing the Cherokee back.

Recently, Jeep shared the first teasers of the new SUV ahead of its big reveal and expected launch later this year. Fans of classic Cherokees might be excited about the new model’s design, which goes back to a boxier, more rugged look that feels true to Jeep's roots. To highlight this, Jeep put out a cool image showing the new model alongside the older XJ-series Cherokees from the '80s and early 2000s. The 2026 version sports a flatter front end and squared-off headlights that remind many of the classic models, and the roofline is more upright, giving it a tougher vibe.
“The all-new Jeep Cherokee headlines our efforts to deliver more product, innovation, choice and standard content to customers than ever before,” said Bob Broderdorf, Jeep CEO. “Jeep Cherokee will boast competitive pricing that strikes at the core of the largest vehicle segment and sits perfectly between Jeep Compass and Jeep Grand Cherokee to bolster our winning mainstream lineup.”
Right now, Jeep offers a mix of vehicles, including gas engines and plug-in hybrids with their clever 4xe technology available in models like the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler. There’s a chance the new Cherokee could include a basic gas engine—maybe the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder found in the Compass—alongside a 4xe hybrid model or even an all-electric version. For now, more details are still under wraps, but fans are eager to find out what Jeep has in store as the launch date gets closer.
