Polestar 3 SUV
Download vehicle brochureThe Polestar 3 is a premium, all-electric vehicle created to ‘bring the sport back to the SUV’, according to the Swedish-Chinese manufacturer. The Polestar 3 is a natural rival to lease cars like the Jaguar I-PACE and the Audi Q6 E-tron. And because the Polestar 3 will also offer serious performance, the firm says its sleek SUV is also a challenger to the traditionally-fuelled Porsche Cayenne. The ultra-aerodynamic Polestar 3 has power of up to 519 PS with the ‘Performance’ variant, while the Long Range dual motor model is able to travel up to 392 miles between charges.

The Polestar 2 has been the subject of nearly every headline from the Swedish-born manufacturer for what seems like forever. The car has dominated its lineup, but while it's not bad at all, it's nice to have something else to talk about.
The brief dalliance by Polestar 1 was essentially a test run to get the brand into public consciousness, and it quickly faded. It was also a plug-in hybrid, which no longer aligns with Polestar’s vision as an all-electric brand.
Happily, the next one is finally here: the Polestar 3.
While the Polestar 2 is aimed at the executive end of the saloon market (despite not being a saloon), the Polestar 3 is a mid-size crossover SUV suitable for families.
However, the part-Volvo-owned manufacturer claims it “drives like a sports car”.
We will be the judge of that.
Polestar may have a point, though, because while it’s unmistakably SUV-sized, it’s got a low profile. Given that electric cars are partly about energy saving, we're sure that the spoiler on the back isn't just for show.
While the car shares DNA with Volvo’s new seven-seater EX90, Polestar won’t welcome the comparison.
The EX90 - the electric equivalent of Volvo’s flagship XC90 SUV - is built for practicality. At the same time, the five-seater Polestar 3 is intended to be its more athletic cousin with a distinct personality, appealing to keen drivers.
That should mean decent agility and sporty performance.
