SNEAK PEEK - POLESTAR 3. POLESTAR'S NEXT BIG HIT?

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 3 is presented as a significant step forward for the brand, aiming to solidify its presence in the premium SUV market. The reviewer is highly impressed with the vehicle's styling, describing it as the best-looking in its class and a departure from Volvo's heritage. Key highlights include its sleek, rakish design, aerodynamic features like the 'air blade', and advanced safety tech such as integrated lidar. Practicality is deemed adequate, with a 484-liter boot and a 2,200 kg towing capacity (with optional towbar), though it's noted as not class-leading. The interior is praised for its spaciousness, minimalist design, and advanced Google-integrated infotainment system, emphasizing sustainability in material choices. Performance figures are strong, with the standard model offering 489 hp and the optional performance pack boosting it to 517 hp, both with all-wheel drive. While the driving experience is yet to be tested, the reviewer anticipates it will be excellent, building on Polestar's reputation. Pricing starts just under £80,000, with the performance pack adding an additional cost.
