NEW POLESTAR 3 EV FIRST LOOK - IS IT AN SUV OR CLASSY ELECTRIC STATION WAGON?

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 3 is presented as a premium electric SUV, but the reviewer questions this classification, suggesting it leans more towards a classy, albeit expensive, electric station wagon. Key highlights include its sophisticated design, particularly the rear end, and a comfortable, spacious interior for five adults. The vehicle boasts impressive performance figures with 489 bhp and a substantial 111 kWh battery offering a WLTP range of 610 km (379 miles). The reviewer notes the advanced technology, including the Google Android Automotive system and optional Bowers & Wilkins audio. However, criticisms include a relatively small 484-liter boot, a long bonnet that doesn't translate to a large frunk (only 32 liters), and a high price point of £80,000 for the launch model. The reviewer concludes that while it's a fantastic-looking car, its SUV designation is debatable, favoring its estate car characteristics.
