Polestar 3

Polestar's first foray into the world of SUVs is a sporty electric crossover that starts at $85300 and claims to offer 300 miles of range.

The 2024 Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor will start at $85,300, with the Pilot pack and Plus pack included and the Performance pack running an extra $6000. Starting in the middle of 2024, Polestar 3s meant for the North American market will originate in Volvo’s Ridgeville, South Carolina factory. The Pilot pack brings a heads-up display, parking assist, and Polestar’s Pilot Assist system that helps control acceleration, braking, steering up to 80 mph. The standard 3 wears Michelin Pilot Sport 4 EV rubber. The 3 is also set up for bidirectional charging, where the vehicle can return power to the grid. The dual-motor setup means standard all-wheel-drive, and Polestar says the system has a rear bias. While it’s slightly shorter than a Porsche Cayenne at 193 inches, the 117.5-inch wheelbase is 3.5 inches longer than that of the Cayenne. The Polestar 3 will ride on 21-inch wheels. Volvo’s electric performance spinoff initially launched with the [1](https://www.caranddriver.com/polestar/polestar-1), a stunning plug-in-hybrid coupe, followed by the [2](https://www.caranddriver.com/polestar/polestar-2), a raised liftback that competes with Tesla’s popular Model 3. Those impressive figures require the Performance package, but even the standard dual-motor 3 has a stout 489 hp and 620 pound-feet. Adjustable one-pedal driving is enabled by regenerative braking, and the 3 can also disconnect the rear motor to save battery power.

The Polestar 3 combines performance, technology, and class-leading range. Does it have what it takes to challenge the electric SUV market?

The Polestar 3 is not for the masses, though. The Polestar 2 was a very credible first all-electric car from the brand, although it can’t quite surpass the Tesla Model 3 in key areas of range and performance. The Polestar 5 will add a larger sedan to the range, and the Polestar 6 roadster could be one of the most desirable EVs yet. One of the more significant features of the Polestar 3 won’t be so immediately obvious, however. The Model Y has it beat in this respect. The Polestar 2 was the first to have Google software built in, although now others have followed suit, such as the recently launched The active dampers run at 500Hz, so can be adjusted every two milliseconds in reaction to driving conditions. The basic Long range Dual motor version has a potent 489hp and can hit 62mph in 5 seconds, but add the £5,600 ($6,100) Performance Pack and the power increases to 517hp, with a 4.7-second 62mph sprint. There are even interior cameras able to detect when the driver is drowsy or inattentive.

This isn’t a unique development – Tesla has taken this approach for years – but it’s an important way to streamline car functionality for cost, efficiency, and easy software-based upgrade.

Polestar confirmed in August 2022 that a version of the concept will be produced as the Polestar 6 electric performance roadster, with launch expected in 2026.

Polestar's first proper SUV will start at $83900, promises up to 300 miles of range and 671 lb-ft of torque.

My one gripe with the Polestar 3's exterior is that seeing out of that greenhouse and past the thick C-pillar looks to be an exercise in futility. Inside, the Polestar 3 is really just about the display — a 14.5-inch, touch-sensitive tablet affixed to the dashboard, floating incongruously above a minimalist, barren ground. All of this is wrapped in a frame that looks nice, if unremarkable — the way all Volvos and Polestars have in recent years. And that’s the Polestar 3. The standard dual-motor Polestar 3 offers 482 horsepower and 619 lb-ft of torque. The The SUV’s many external sensors will send their inputs to an Nvidia Drive system-on-chip to crunch numbers, for semi-autonomous driving. As such, the U.S.-bound Polestar 3 claims only 300 miles before needing to juice back up again. We’ve seen glimpses of the Polestar 3 on several occasions up until now.

Polestar is echoing that today although, predictably, that data was collected based on the European WLTP testing cycle, which tends to deliver slightly more optimistic range estimations compared to the way the EPA does its math. The manufacturer calls it an SUV, and I think it’s fair to say anyone on the street would describe it similarly.

Today we have a multitude of new details surrounding the SUV to share, including estimated range, performance specs, and starting price. The Polestar 3 will ...

Initial production of the Polestar is expected to begin at Volvo Cars’ facility in Chengdu, China beginning in mid-2023 – first deliveries are expected in Q4 of 2023, about a year from now. However, Polestar is planning additional Polestar 3 manufacturing on US soil, the automaker’s first model to be built outside of China. For the first model year versions, Polestar will include the Plus Pack and Pilot Pack fitted as standard.

That last bit means the car comes with a lot of sensors: five radar modules, five external cameras, twelve external ultrasonic sensors, and two driver monitoring cameras with eye tracking, coupled with interior radar sensors that can detect "sub-milimetre movements." While the clinical design, attention to details, and Polestar's commitment to sustainability will surely draw in some customers, the most interesting aspect of Polestar 3 is the tech. In terms of size, the Polestar 3 is actually quite big for a mid-size SUV, with a 193-inch length, 64-inch height, and 83.5-inch width. Another key metric for any electric car is range, and Polestar 3 fares quite well here, at least according to preliminary figures from the manufacturer. That's not to say the Polestar 3 is slow: In standard dual-motor configuration, it produces a total of 360kW of power and can take you from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h. Look closer, and you'll see small text signs in some places, such as the "SmartZone/Sensor cluster" sign next to the front camera.
