- Polestar said the Formula 2030's nose previews the next Polestar 2 and its rear lights will appear on production cars.
- The four-seat interior adds physical rocker switches and rotary controllers with a user-configurable interface, new for Polestar.

Polestar showed the Formula 2030 concept on November 10, 2026, a four-seat electric hatchback the automaker places in its own segment between the next Polestar 2 and the Polestar 7. The car is about the same length as a Polestar 2 but with a much lower roofline, and Polestar did not say whether the hatchback form will go into series production.
The concept is a styling exercise with production cues: Polestar said the nose previews the next Polestar 2 and the rear light signature will appear on production cars. The four-seat interior adds physical controls, rocker switches and rotary controllers with a user-configurable interface, which the report describes as new for Polestar.
"We wanted to evolve, while respecting, the core design values we demonstrated with previous models that define the Polestar brand in such a recognizable way," said Nahum Escobedo, head of exterior design at Polestar. He cited the Dual Blade headlights, a wraparound visor-like windshield and new Single Blade rear lights.
The concept also explores sustainability: door interiors that are fully recyclable, low-emission steel in the chassis, biocomposites in place of traditional plastics and seatbacks made from bComp, a flax-based carbon-fiber alternative. Polestar is owned by Geely, and the report says the brand's cars cannot currently be bought in the US.
