Overview
The 2026 Polestar 5 Performance is a big electric sedan that seats 5 and sends drive to all four wheels. It's $193,100 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Range is 558km (WLTP) from a 112kWh battery, and DC fast charging peaks at 350kW. The boot is 365 litres with the seats up, so it's worth checking it fits your gear, though it opens to 1,128 litres with the rear seats folded. It suits someone after a large electric four-door that can still pull a braked trailer.

Low profile
Rear
96mm wall
275/35 R21
Low profile
Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.
Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file. Actual prices vary by brand, retailer and fitting.

ANCAP, by exact grade

A rating belongs to the exact variant ANCAP tested and is never carried across to a grade or a build year it does not cover. A rating older than six years is marked expired because ANCAP’s own test has moved on.
