Timing has moved later
Earlier in 2026, Polestar Australia pointed to an arrival right at the end of 2027, possibly spilling into 2028. The latest guidance is late 2028. Polestar’s global launch year has stayed at 2028.
Polestar Australia says the car has not yet reached design lock, so timing and positioning could still change.
Where it would fit
The Polestar 7 will be the brand’s smallest SUV, sized against cars such as the BMW iX1, Volvo EX40 and Audi Q4 e-tron. A price below the Polestar 4 would bring it closer to the Tesla Model Y and Zeekr 7X, though Polestar has not given a price target.
What buyers should do
If you need an electric SUV in the next year or two, the Polestar 7 is too far away to wait for. Current Polestar models are listed in the Polestar range, and our report on Polestar’s September deliveries shows how the brand is selling now.
