POLESTAR 3 WALKTHROUGH: DESIGN, TECH & REAL-WORLD DRIVING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor is presented as a premium electric SUV, distinguished by its striking Scandinavian design and a focus on sustainability. The reviewers highlight its sleek, lower-than-average SUV profile and high-quality interior materials, likening the experience to "business class." Key positives include the comfortable ride, responsive one-pedal driving, and the integrated Android Automotive infotainment system with native trip planning that even includes Tesla Supercharger stops. The Plus Pack, while expensive at $9,000, adds significant features like a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system and active noise cancellation. However, the vehicle's high price point, starting at $155,000 driveaway in Australia, is a significant barrier, positioning it far above mainstream EV SUVs and even top-spec Tesla Model Y. Criticisms are minor, including the lack of auto-folding side mirrors and a somewhat wordy infotainment interface. Overall, the Polestar 3 is recommended for buyers prioritizing distinctive design, a premium ownership experience, and strong sustainability credentials, and who are willing to pay a significant premium to stand out from the crowd.
