Actor Alexander Skarsgård is promoting the new Polestar 5.

The 194cm tall Swedish star appears in a short three-minuite film that showcases the four-door performance Grand Tourer.

Apparently, the actor drives a Polestar himself. It's a Polestar 3 but he doesn't own it -- he's an ambassador for the company.

Set against a minimalist backdrop, the film offers a cinematic introduction to the all-new Polestar 5, inviting viewers to experience the future of electric performance.

Produced entirely by Polestar’s in-house creative team, it's an immersive look at the design, innovation, and performance that define the brand’s flagship Grand Tourer.

Skarsgård first came to our attention in the long running series True Blood in which he played vampire Eric Northman (he also appeared in a 2022 film called The Northman).

He is also known for the comedy series Murderbot as well as Pillion, Succession, Big Little Lies and more.

Polestar 5 is built on the bespoke Polestar Performance Architecture (PPA) using bonded aluminium to provide supercar-level torsional rigidity, increased safety, and lighter weight than steel.

With dual motors, including an in-house developed rear unit, it pumps out 650kW of power and 1015Nm of torque, with 800-volt architecture, and a host of sustainable innovations.

Key features of the recently launched Polestar 5 include:

• Design: Born from the Precept concept, showcasing future design, technology, and sustainability — now a production reality.
• Platform: Bespoke Polestar Performance Architecture (PPA) with bonded aluminium, providing supercar-level torsional rigidity, increased safety, and lighter weight than steel.
• Chassis: Class-leading engineering with compact double wishbone front suspension and MagneRide adaptive dampers reading the road 1000 times per second.
• Performance: Dual motors, including an in-house developed rear unit, delivering 650kW and 1,015Nm. 0–100km/h in just 3.2 seconds.
• Sustainability: Polestar 5 consist of 83 per cent aluminium from smelters utilizing renewable electricity and 13 per cent recycled aluminium. The interior features materials such as Bcomp’s natural fibre composite material with Polestar’s signature weave, saving around 40% weight and uses 50 per cent less fossil fuel based materials than traditional plastic.
