This Five-Day-Only Brisbane Event Is Your Chance To See Polestar’s Most Advanced EV Yet
If you’ve been thinking about making the switch to an EV, or maybe you’re just keen to take a look into the future of electric driving, Polestar Brisbane will be opening up their showroom for an exclusive peek at its most advanced vehicle to date.
Landing in Brisbane for the first time, the Swedish-designed Polestar 5 marks a major milestone for the brand locally and offers a glimpse of where electric performance is heading next. This five-day event is part of a national roadshow, and your chance to see the seriously sleek Polestar 5 before it moves onto its next destination.
From Tuesday 12 May to Saturday 16 May, the luxe Fortitude Valley showroom will transform into an open-access experience where you can drop in anytime between 8.30am and 5pm to check out the pre-production Polestar 5, alongside the award-winning Polestar 4, recently awarded Best Electric Vehicle Under $90K.
No bookings are needed, simply rock up when you want and soak up what’s next in luxury electric performance. And because no good outing should happen on an empty stomach, local vendors will be slinging delicious bites and beverages each day—so you can graze, sip and peruse in equal measure.
There’s also an exclusive, invite-only evening session taking place on Thursday from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, offering a more intimate look at the Polestar 5 experience.
Coffee, A DJ And An Epic Giveaway
Saturday’s session comes with an extra serving of good vibes, complete with a coffee cart from 8.30am for your caffeine fix and a DJ on the decks from 10am.
Plus, anyone who registers for the event (which you can do here!) and attends goes into the draw to win a beautiful two-night stay at the five-star hotel W Brisbane (hello, robe life) and tickets to a GOMA exhibition. Culture and luxury? Say less.
A First Look At The Future Of Electric Performance
The Polestar 5 is best experienced in person so that you can take in every detail. Combining electric performance with forward-thinking design and sustainable innovation, it’s a cutting-edge model that feels as progressive as it looks.
The Polestar 5 is available to pre-order now, but test drives won’t kick off until mid-2026. This is your chance to check it out up close before most of Australia gets a look.
It’s the real-world version of the Polestar Precept—the concept car that set the tone for the brand’s design direction. Now it’s here as a sleek four-door GT, built from the ground up on a custom aluminium chassis. The result is a super low, aerodynamic shape that didn’t seem possible for a luxury five-seater.
You’ll also see that same design and performance DNA across Polestar’s lineup, including the Polestar 4 and Polestar 3—both available to view and test drive at Polestar Brisbane.
Keen for the full spiel? Each day there'll be a guided talk at 11am, unpacking Polestar’s design philosophy, performance credentials and sustainability approach, or simply wander through at your own pace and take it all in.
