Polestar 7 Could Be The Brand's First Car To Be Made In Europe But It's Up To Volvo To Decide

Polestar is eager to build vehicles in Europe but has suggested it might be another five years before it's possible. The Swedish car manufacturer currently builds the 2 sedan at Volvo's Taizhou factory in Luqiao, China while the forthcoming Polestar 3 will be built in both Chengdu, China and Volvo's factory in Harlestonn, South Carolina. It has also been confirmed that the Polestar 4 will be brought to life at Geely's Hangzhou Bay, China factory whereas both the Polestar 5 and 6 will be manufactured at a plant in Chongqing, China. While speaking with Auto News Europe about the company's production plans, chief executive Thomas Ingenlath suggested the Polestar 7 could be the first model the brand builds in Europe. Ingenlath noted it will be up to Volvo to decide on the best European facility to build the Polestar 7. Polestar has a lot on its plate before it can turn its attention to the 7. For starters, it is gearing up to begin production of the Polestar 3 SUV next year and will follow it up with the smaller Polestar 4 SUV. The Polestar 5 will then be launched in 2024 while the Polestar 6 has been penciled in for a launch sometime in 2026.
