Polestar is delaying its flagship 6 electric roadster while it concentrates on a wider lineup rollout. The company says the 6 will not arrive before 2028, after the new Polestar 4 variant, next-generation Polestar 2 and compact Polestar 7 reach the market.

The delay pushes the production roadster at least two years beyond Polestar’s original 2026 target. The model first appeared as the O2 convertible concept in 2022 and is expected to serve as Polestar’s halo car when it eventually enters production.

Polestar’s 2026 and 2027 product plans

Polestar plans to begin deliveries of the Polestar 5 this summer. By the end of 2026, the brand expects to launch a new version of the Polestar 4 aimed at reaching more customers with additional versatility.

Polestar has not fully detailed the 4 variant, but the teaser appears to show a rear window. The company describes it as combining the space of an estate with the versatility of an SUV, suggesting a raised wagon-style interpretation of the electric model.

The next-generation Polestar 2 is scheduled to arrive in early 2027. The compact Polestar 7 crossover is planned for 2028, giving the Swedish brand a broader presence in the high-volume compact and midsize segments.

Why the Polestar 6 is delayed

Theo Kjellberg, Polestar’s head of corporate communications, said the company is prioritizing the 4 variant, 2 successor and 7 before turning its attention back to the roadster. Based on that sequence, he indicated the 6 will not launch before 2028.

Polestar has not released production specifications for the 6 because its launch remains several years away. The original O2 concept, however, used a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup rated at 884 horsepower and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque.

That concept was claimed to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds and reach an electronically limited 155 mph (250 km/h). Those figures may not carry over to the eventual production car.

Expected price and production

When Polestar first announced plans to sell the 6, a price of around $200,000 was reported. That would make it significantly more expensive than the plug-in hybrid Polestar 1, which launched in the United States for the 2021 model year at $156,500.

Polestar initially said it would build only 500 examples of the roadster, then indicated production could increase if demand supported a larger run. With timing, specifications and final pricing still unresolved, the 6 remains a long-term project rather than an imminent showroom model.

The company enters this expansion after reporting 2025 retail sales of 60,119 vehicles, a 34 percent increase. The upcoming models are intended to build on that momentum, while the delayed 6 will eventually provide a more exclusive centerpiece for the range.
