THE 2025 POLESTAR 3 IS A PORSCHE-LIKE PERFORMANCE LUXURY SUV FROM SWEDEN

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Polestar 3 marks a significant entry into the performance luxury SUV segment, offering a compelling blend of Scandinavian design and potent electric power. The reviewer highlights its sharp and direct steering, sporty handling dynamics, and impressive acceleration, with the performance variant achieving 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds. The ride quality is praised for being exceptionally good despite large wheels and a performance-tuned air suspension, remaining quiet and refined. Interior highlights include premium materials, comfortable and massaging seats, and a well-integrated Android Automotive infotainment system, though the lack of Apple CarPlay at launch is noted as a drawback. Cargo space is considered adequate but on the smaller side for its class. While the performance version offers a competitive range of 279 miles, the non-performance variant can reach up to 315 miles. The reviewer suggests that while the build quality feels premium, it might not fully justify the price of a fully loaded model, estimating it closer to $80,000 than $90,000+. The vehicle's production shift to South Carolina is anticipated to make it eligible for federal tax credits, potentially improving its value proposition.
