Overview
- Polestar unveiled the Formula 2030 concept on Tuesday as a non-production design study that the company calls the physical embodiment of its Formula 2030 strategy.
- The concept introduces a driver-centred mechatronic cockpit with a 20‑inch driver display, a 12.2‑inch centre screen, eight configurable physical controls, and a cabin that mechanically reconfigures between Performance, Normal and Autonomous modes.
- Polestar highlighted sustainable materials in the study, including a Bcomp natural‑fibre body structure, bio‑based composite seatbacks, visible low‑emission galvanised steel and fully recyclable door panels as prototypes for future production use.
- The company said many styling, cockpit and material elements will influence the next Polestar 2 due in 2027 and the Europe-built Polestar 7 planned for 2028, even though the concept itself will not be produced as shown.
- Weak year-to-date sales through September 2026 and a U.S. restriction on selling 2027‑model vehicles under the Connected Vehicle Rule have pushed Polestar to prioritise European launches and make the upcoming 2 and 7 commercially critical.
