Polestar revealed the Formula 2030 concept car at a media drive event, showcasing design language that will influence production vehicles over the next two years. The electric carmaker confirmed that elements from the concept will appear on the next-generation Polestar 2, due in early 2027, and the upcoming Polestar 7, expected in 2028.
The four-door concept features Polestar's signature "Dual Blade" headlights and minimalistic design paired with a low-slung, aggressive profile. Coach doors eliminate the B-pillar, and the A-pillar is hidden to create a wrap-around windshield effect. A single windshield wiper serves the glass roof, and a large window in the trunk reveals transparent flooring and race-inspired Öhlins dampers underneath. Two thin taillights replace the previous single long light bar.
The interior seats four and prioritizes tactile controls. Two angled screens flank eight physical controls on the center console, each customizable as a rocker switch or dial. The seats have inflatable bolsters and cushions that mold to occupants. Most interior materials are recycled, with light-colored upholstery and gold accents throughout.
A drive-mode selector offers Performance, Normal, and Autonomous modes. In Performance mode, the center screen lowers flush with the console while the steering wheel and gauge screen move closer to the driver. Autonomous mode reveals a concealed lidar unit on the exterior and moves the steering wheel and driver's seat further apart.
The Nitrogen exterior color appears in three finishes, glossy, matte, and satin, across side cladding and aero elements. Twenty-two-inch wheels match the body color, paired with Swedish Gold-colored Brembo brake calipers.
Polestar is banned from selling new vehicles in the United States.
