Introducing: The Polestar 3

Polestar 3 is the SUV for the electric age. It is a 5-seat E-segment electric SUV built on the new SPA2 technology base developed by Volvo Cars with core computing from NVIDIA, and is the first Polestar available with LiDAR from Luminar. Core competitors include the Porsche Cayenne, BMW iX and Audi Q8 e-tron.

Recognising SUV hallmarks like a bold, upright front, commanding driving position and true off-roading capability, Polestar 3 reimagines the archetype for the modern era with a low roofline, wide stance and exceptional driving dynamics. The launch edition features a dual-motor powertrain with as much as 380 kW (517 hp) and 910 Nm (671 lb-ft). Chassis dynamics continue to hone Polestar’s performance DNA, and with true torque vectoring via a dual clutch setup from BorgWarner on the rear axle, Polestar 3 feels compact and light despite its 2.9-metre wheelbase and 4.9-metre length – with precise steering and a sporty driving position creating a more sports car-like experience than can be expected from a large SUV. Adaptive dual-chamber air suspension and active dampers make Polestar 3 comfortable on long journeys, remarkably dynamic on twisty roads, and can provide us much as 250 mm ground clearance for off-road use.

The exterior design plays a key role in the efficiency of Polestar 3, with front and rear aero wings and rear aero blades not only producing unique styling cues, but range and efficiency benefits as well. Increased sustainability of interior materials continues to drive Polestar’s efforts towards a net-zero future, with recycled plastic and aluminium, and new-age textiles like bio-attributed MicroTech, which replaces crude oil with pine oil in its manufacture, creating a new form of sustainable luxury.
