POLESTAR 3 REVIEW | CAN IT LIVE UP TO THE BRILLIANT POLESTAR 2? UK 4K

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 3 aims to translate the acclaimed appeal of the Polestar 2 into the larger luxury SUV segment. The "Long Range Dual Motor" variant tested delivers a potent 489 bhp and 4WD capability, offering brisk acceleration (0-62 mph in 5.0 seconds) and a respectable real-world efficiency of around 3.3 miles per kWh, comparable to rivals. The reviewer praises the minimalist Scandinavian interior, high-quality materials, and the intuitive Google-based infotainment system. Practicality is also a strong suit, with ample rear passenger space and generous boot capacity. However, the review notes that the car's weight is noticeable over sharp bumps, and the brakes can be grabby at low speeds. A significant point of contention is the steering wheel's blank, touch-sensitive buttons, which the reviewer finds frustratingly unintuitive. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Polestar 3 is deemed a refined, comfortable, and impressively capable all-rounder, successfully impressing the reviewer with its quiet confidence and Swedish elegance.
