Polestar and Luminar expand partnership
Swedish electric car manufacturer Polestar and technology provider Luminar are continuing their collaboration by integrating Luminar’s long-range lidar technology into future Polestar models.
The expanded partnership lays the groundwork for collaboration on industrial design and integration of Luminar’s 3D laser scanning technology that will be used in future Polestar vehicles. This now includes the Polestar 5 – the four-door electric GT based on the Polestar Precept concept car, which is expected to go into series production in 2024.

The two companies have an existing partnership through one of Polestar’s parent companies, Volvo, with Luminar supplying Lidar technology for the Polestar Model 3. This first SUV from the automaker, which was launched in October 2022, is now going on sale in its first markets with Luminar’s lidar technology. To coincide with the announcement, sales of the Polestar 3 with lidar technology from Luminar have been brought forward so that interested parties can place orders now. However, deliveries are not expected until 2024.
In addition to Polestar, Luminar supplies other upmarket vehicle manufacturers with its lidar sensor technology, for example Mercedes and Polestar parent Volvo. Luminar also supplies suppliers such as Nvidia and Mobileye.
