Polestar reports 7% sales growth in Q1 as retail footprint expands
Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY), the Swedish electric performance car manufacturer, reported on April 9, 2026, that estimated retail sales for the first quarter reached 13,126 vehicles.
The results represent a 7% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by the continued rollout of the brand’s expanded model lineup and a significantly larger global retail presence.
The growth in deliveries coincides with an aggressive expansion of the company’s physical sales network.
Polestar currently has 230 retail sales points in operation globally, marking a 50% increase from the 154 locations active at the end of the first quarter of 2025.
This infrastructure growth is a core component of Polestar’s "non-asset light" sales model, which emphasizes physical "Polestar Spaces" and "Polestar Destinations" to facilitate customer engagement and test drives.
The company intends to maintain this expansion pace through the remainder of the year.
Polestar confirmed plans to reach approximately 250 sales points by the end of 2026, which would represent 20% growth over its footprint at the close of 2025.
