Electric vehicle brand Polestar participated as a main sponsor of the "2026 Tongyeong Gran Fondo," held on the 17th in Tongyeong City, South Gyeongsang Province. The "2026 Tongyeong Gran Fondo" is a large-scale long-distance cycling event in which more than 2,000 riders race along the coastal roads of the Hallyeodo Strait and mountainous sections around Tongyeong. Polestar stepped up to sponsor the event on the grounds that the performance and sustainability values pursued by the brand align with cycling sports, providing pure electric vehicles that produce zero emissions while driving as official vehicles.

Polestar Korea provided a total of 13 pure electric vehicles, including the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4, as official vehicles for this event. Among them, the Polestar 4 served as "team cars" assisting in the operation of the competition for the athletes' teams. Utilizing its spacious interior and foldable rear seat structure, it stored various equipment, while a bicycle carrier mounted on the roof safely transported spare bicycles. Additionally, based on driving performance of up to 544 horsepower, it supported event operations in diverse driving environments such as coastal roads and mountainous sections.

The Polestar 3 was positioned at the front and rear of the participant line-up, respectively, guiding the group throughout the entire course. Based on stable driving performance through dual-chamber air suspension, it facilitated smooth competition progression even in various road surface conditions. The Polestar 3 was also separately exhibited at the venue, allowing participants and spectators to directly experience an electric vehicle equipped with an 800V platform.

In addition, Polestar provided 2,500 paper-packaged bottled waters, produced in collaboration with Tetra Pak Korea, to participants. While helping participants on long-distance courses replenish their fluids, it continued its efforts toward sustainability through environmentally conscious paper-packaged water. Ham Jong-sung, President of Polestar Korea, stated that it is meaningful to convey the values of performance and sustainability through the provision of official electric vehicles, and expressed that they will strengthen their identity as a pure electric vehicle brand. Following last year's "Tour de Gyeongnam 2025," Polestar Korea is participating as a main sponsor in this year's "2026 Tongyeong Gran Fondo," contributing to creating a sustainable sports environment.
