Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car company, has announced that is has reached the production milestone of 150,000 for the Polestar 2 electric performance fastback, in a testament to the company’s continued growth globally. Polestar 2 was the brand’s first volume car, which went into production in 2020.
Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company, Polestar’s sole dealer representative in the UAE, has enjoyed immense interest in Polestar 2 since its launch in Q1 of 2022.
Hasan Nergiz, Managing Director for Al-Futtaim Electric Mobility Company, comments: “Polestar 2 continues to drive sales for the brand in the UAE, with strong anticipation generated for future models to come, thus demonstrating the UAE’s readiness for sustainable mobility in a progressive performance EV.”
Interest in the Polestar brand was further boosted by an exclusive showcase of the Polestar 6 electric performance roadster concept at the Emirates Towers, Dubai, in February 2023. In addition, a presentation of the future EV portfolio of Polestar, which includes the Polestar 3, Polestar 4, Polestar 5 and Polestar 6, was hosted at ADGM in Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island in May 2023.
UAE sales of the Polestar 2 have been supported by the state-of-the-art Polestar Space at the Mall of the Emirates, which 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.
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.
