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.

If you’re wondering why there’s a ‘new’ Polestar 3 already, you’re right to question it. After all, the first examples didn’t hit the UK’s roads until July 2025, just a year after its launch - and it arrived to much acclaim.
Nevertheless, Polestar has decided to make a handful of changes. Before we cover those, it’s worth talking about the car itself.
It was first announced in 2022 and is, believe it or not, based on the same SPA2 platform as Volvo’s flagship electric SUV, the EX90 (effectively the electric equivalent of the more familiar XC90, though the two aren’t identical).
Despite this, the Polestar 3 is lower and shorter, though it’s a few millimetres wider. Unlike the EX90, it only has five seats and, in terms of cargo capacity, doesn't come close to the EX90's figures.
The handling is vastly different, too, with the Polestar 3 wowing critics with its cornering abilities despite Volvo’s behemoth’s underpinnings. In terms of what’s new, it’s not really a ‘facelift’, particularly as the styling is unchanged, though the tweaks hidden from view are significant.
The main upgrades include switching from a 400V to an 800V electrical architecture, enabling faster charging. At the same time, improvements to battery monitoring software mean 38% more range can be added in a 10-minute charging session compared with before. It also results in a 6% improvement in energy efficiency, allowing smaller, lighter batteries to be used.
A new core computer from tech giant Nvidia has vastly increased its processing power by a staggering 750% (jealous existing owners may be interested to know that Polestar will retrofit this to older models). The line-up is simpler, too, and includes new in-house permanent magnet rear motors.
Unfortunately, that last change has resulted in one notable departure: the car's rear-axle torque-vectoring dual-clutch system, which actively distributed power to whichever wheel needed it most.
Some regarded this as the key reason it felt so agile to drive, belying its bulk as a fairly heavy SUV.
