Polestar verstevigt zijn marktpositie in België met solide groei in Q2

In het tweede kwartaal van 2025 blijft Polestar zijn indrukwekkende groei in België voortzetten (+41,53%), met een stijging die zowel de groei van de algemene BEV-markt (+19,52%) als het premium BEV-segment (+0,49%) overtreft (YTD ten opzichte van het vorige jaar). Het merk blijft zijn ambitieuze doelstellingen waarmaken en is inmiddels de tweede snelst groeiende speler binnen de totale premium markt in België, gemeten in absolute registraties. De Polestar 4 heeft zich in korte tijd stevig gepositioneerd binnen het premium D-SUV-segment als het snelst groeiende model in zijn categorie.

De sterke groei van Polestar is het resultaat van strategische initiatieven, waaronder de uitbreiding van het retailnetwerk en het modelaanbod, die in lijn zijn met de wereldwijde strategie van het merk. Zo opende Polestar in 2025 al drie nieuwe Polestar Spaces, in Kortrijk, Brussel-Zuid en Antwerpen, met verdere uitbreiding gepland voor de tweede helft van het jaar. Ook het modelaanbod wordt verder uitgebreid. Vanaf eind juli is de Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor, met een indrukwekkend rijbereik van 706 km (WLTP), beschikbaar voor testritten op de Belgische markt. Deze ruime premium SUV biedt klanten nog meer keuze en maakt de overstap naar elektrisch rijden dankzij het uitgebreide rijbereik een stuk eenvoudiger.

Lies Eeckman, Managing Director Polestar België & Luxemburg: “Het tweede kwartaal was uitdagend voor de gehele auto-industrie, voornamelijk door politieke onzekerheid die het voor bedrijven moeilijk maakte om langetermijnbeslissingen te nemen in de transitie naar duurzame mobiliteit. Desondanks heeft Polestar zeer sterke groeicijfers neergezet. Deze resultaten weerspiegelen niet alleen onze strategische koers, maar onderstrepen ook ons DNA als performance-merk, zowel in onze voertuigen als in onze prestaties.” ​
​​
​“We zijn dan ook tevreden dat er nu meer duidelijkheid is rond mobiliteitsfiscaliteit, wat ons in staat stelt met vertrouwen vooruit te kijken. De BEV-markt blijft groeien, en Polestar speelt daarin een duidelijke voortrekkersrol. Op dit tempo verwachten we deze zomer 10.000 voertuigen op de Belgische wegen te hebben. We zijn klaar om de tweede helft van het jaar met ambitie en overtuiging aan te vatten."

Einde.
