Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car company, and Al Futtaim Trading Enterprises, Polestar’s sole dealer representative in the UAE, have opened a state-of-the-art new Polestar Space at the Mall of the Emirates. The new Polestar Space offers more room, more choice, and more features for customers to connect with Polestar, take a test drive and purchase the 100% electric Polestar 2.
Situated on Level 1 of the mall, the new Polestar Space has been expanded to a total floor space of 234 m2 and can accommodate up to three Polestar EVs at a time, in addition to a configuration studio for customers to create their perfect Polestar, as well as two private consultation rooms for one-to-one interactions with Polestar Specialists.
Mohamed Kassem, General Manager for Polestar UAE, says: The reaction to Polestar in the UAE so far has been positive and amazing, and we’re excited to give customers an enhanced experience through the new Polestar Space in Mall of the Emirates. Offering improved service in every way, the new Polestar Space is the perfect setting to showcase the cutting-edge, sustainable design and advanced technologies of Polestar 2, as well as upcoming models to be launched in the future.
The opening of the Polestar Space in Mall of the Emirates follows a highly successful debut year for Polestar in the UAE, as it enjoyed significant interest following the launch of the Polestar 2 in February 2022, as well as global launches of the Polestar 3 electric performance SUV and Polestar electric roadster concept which was displayed in the UAE in February 2023. The activities generated intense interest in the Polestar brand, demonstrating the UAE’s readiness for sustainable mobility in a truly premium EV.
The Polestar Space at Mall of the Emirates is open seven days a week from 10:00 to 22:00, where Polestar Specialists are on hand to provide customers with the opportunity to engage with the brand and view and test drive the Polestar 2 electric performance fastback.
The Polestar 2 model range includes three variants with a combination of long- and standard-range batteries as large as 78 kWh, and dual- and single-motor powertrains with as much as 300 kW / 408 hp and 660 Nm.

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.
“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.
"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".
The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
In a bold move against the prevailing headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, VinFast, the young Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is forging ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans. While major players like Apple have recently abandoned their decade-long pursuit of an electric vehicle, and others are scaling back their ambitions, VinFast remains undeterred. Having already established a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia, the company is now setting its sights on the Middle Eastern market.
Hyundai is set to debut its three-row electric SUV later this year, a move that signifies the automaker's bold step into the large electric vehicle (EV) market. This new SUV, anticipated to be named the Ioniq 9, is poised to be Hyundai’s equivalent to the Kia EV9, offering a spacious and eco-friendly alternative to its popular Palisade.
