THIS IS THE NEW POLESTAR 3

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 3 marks a significant, albeit potentially divisive, step for the brand, venturing into the large SUV segment. While Jack Scarlett acknowledges its stunning design, exquisite interior, and potent performance (510 hp, 910 Nm torque in the launch configuration), he questions its place within Polestar's sustainability-focused ethos. The "launch car" is a dual-motor, long-range variant priced at £79,900, with dual-motor and pilot/plus packs included. While Polestar emphasizes transparency in its carbon footprint and aims for carbon neutrality by 2030, the reviewer notes the Polestar 3's "distinctly average" efficiency (around 2.68 miles/kWh) and a substantial 111 kWh battery, suggesting a missed opportunity to make efficiency a core, game-changing feature. Despite these reservations, the Polestar 3 is praised for its luxurious, sustainable interior materials, spacious cabin, and the promise of advanced technology like lidar readiness and bi-directional charging as standard. First deliveries are expected in Q4 2023.
