Polestar’s Newest Concept Car Teaser Leaves Us Sad Once Again That It’s Leaving the U.S.Road & TrackWill Sabel CourtneyTue, September 8, 2026 at 3:42 PM UTCAdd us on GooglePolestar Formula 2030 Concept Brings AggressionPolestarBy now, you're probably well aware that Volvo's EV spinoff brand Polestar won't be operating in the United States much longer. The carmaker itself may be as confused as the rest of us about the reasons it's being boxed out while its Swedish sibling remains, but while the why may be vexing, it's the cars that we here in the States are liable to miss out on that's more frustrating for us enthusiasts. And that's even more so now that Polestar has given us a first glimpse at the aggressive-yet-alluring face of its future.The Polestar Formula 2030 Concept seen above remains largely shrouded in mystery; the shadowy frontal image is all the company has released so far, with a full reveal planned to occur at the media first drive event for the new Polestar 4 station wagon SUV. (Investors, VIP customers, and retailers will have a chance to glimpse it before then at a special event at Polestar's hyper-minimalist cuboid headquarters.)Still, that one glimpse is tasty enough: the Formula 2030 Concept has the wide stance of a high-performance machine, with fenders that flare out as far as the side-view mirrors and a bulging, muscular hood. The signature Dual Blade lighting signature remains, but now appears to also feature Lucid-like headlamps between them. Up the contrast and look closely, and there even appears to be something like a Formula 1 car's halo bifurcating the windshield, which could potentially be an unorthodox windshield wiper arrangement but is almost certainly a feature we would prefer not reach production.Zoom and enhance.PolestarThe concept's design language, Polestar says, will first make its way to the streets on the second-generation Polestar 2 sedan that's set to arrive next year, followed by the Polestar 7 compact crossover that's liable to be a big seller for the brand. That said, those of us in the U.S. will presumably need to venture up to Canada in order to see it firsthand.You Might Also LikeIf You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
