Robert Barry · 0 comments

Polestar has expanded its retail presence to South Australia for the first time since launching in 2022.

The Polestar Adelaide Space, operated by Solitaire Automotive Group, debuts due to significant demand from South Australian buyers to experience Polestar’s range of electric cars.

The new location is part of Polestar’s transition to a more active retail model in partnership with experienced dealer partners, making it easier for customers to experience and buy cars online and in-store.

“We are delighted to partner with Solitaire Automotive Group to bring Polestar to Adelaide,” Polestar Australia managing director Scott Maynard says.

“South Australian electric car buyers have been vocal in their calls to secure a Polestar retail location, and we’re very excited to be delivering.

“Adelaide is an important step in our Australian expansion plans, bringing our growing range of cars to more people in more places.”

“We are very excited to add Polestar to our portfolio of premium automotive brands,”. Solitaire Automotive Group’s managing director David Smoker says.

“We’re looking forward to bringing the brand’s unique blend of luxury, electric performance, and sustainability to South Australian buyers.”

The Polestar Adelaide Space is at 46-52 Glen Osmond Rd, Parkside, South Australia.

Test drive bookings are open through the Polestar Australia website.

In the Polestar Spaces network, Adelaide joins Chadstone, Port Melbourne, Artarmon, Alexandria, Penrith, Brisbane, and Perth.

Thirteen service partners are located around Australia to handle maintenance and accessories.

In 2024, Polestar expanded its range to three models with two new electric SUVs—Polestar 3 and Polestar 4—joining Polestar 2 on Australian roads.

Polestar 2 is the company’s first fully electric model. It is available in three variants, each with a combination of standard-range and long-range powertrains. Pricing starts at $62,400*.

Polestar 3 is a large luxury electric SUV available in two long-range dual-motor variants.

A long-range single-motor variant will join the range early in 2025. It will have more than 700km of range on the WLTP test cycle.

Polestar 4 blends coupe looks with SUV spaciousness thanks to its innovative design, which features no rear windscreen and a high-definition rear-facing camera feed.

It’s the fastest Polestar, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in as little as 3.8 seconds.
