2025 POLESTAR 3 REVIEW AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 3 is presented as a compelling alternative to established luxury SUVs from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes, boasting significant style and substance. The reviewer highlights its striking design, spacious interior with eco-friendly materials, and a substantial 111kWh battery offering good charging capabilities. However, the interior's heavy reliance on touchscreen controls for functions like the glove box and steering wheel adjustment is criticized for lacking intuitiveness and a premium feel. The driving experience is described as competent but not class-leading, with the vehicle feeling heavy and the ride comfort, even in its most comfortable setting, being less plush than expected. The reviewer suggests the rear-wheel-drive single-motor version might offer a more engaging drive. Despite these points, the Polestar 3 is acknowledged for its immense power, strong brake feel, and practical features like a frunk and a well-appointed boot, alongside a comprehensive 5-year/unlimited km warranty and 8-year battery warranty with free servicing and roadside assistance.
