The Polestar 7 won't be a direct replacement for the 2, though it will have the same positioning in the lineup.
While the 7 won't be a direct successor to the 2 compact hatchback, it will sit in roughly the same position, Ingenlath said. That likely means it will be the entry-level model in Polestar's lineup when it arrives.
The 7 is currently expected to arrive around 2027, with production to take place at a plant in Europe and possibly China. That date fits the timing for when the 2 should end production, given the typical shelf life of seven to eight years for modern cars. Production of the 2 started in 2020 and since then Polestar has managed to deliver more than 150,000 units worldwide.In his interview with Autocar, Ingenlath said giving the 2's successor a new name allows the automaker to introduce fresh and innovative ideas, as opposed to being limited to the same form factor as the outgoing model, should the successor also be called a 2.subcompact crossover. It is also used in vehicles from Geely's Zeekr brand.
