Polestar revealed a new concept vehicle called the Formula 2030, roughly the length of a Polestar 2 but with a much lower roofline, giving it a two-box silhouette reminiscent of the Saab Aero-X. The company says the design sits conceptually between its upcoming Polestar 2 and Polestar 7 models, though it has not confirmed whether the hatchback shape will reach production. Polestar describes the reveal primarily as a styling exercise, including rear light elements that will appear on future production vehicles.

Polestar disclosed in an August 18th dealer letter that it was denied a US Commerce Department waiver allowing continued sales of its electric vehicles, despite officials reportedly signaling approval was likely. The rejection contrasts with sister brand Volvo, which received approval in May 2026 despite similar ties to Chinese owner Geely, forcing Polestar to halt US sales starting with the 2027 model year.
