About the Polestar 3
The Polestar 3 marks the brand's first foray into the luxury SUV segment, sharing its SPA2 platform with the Volvo EX90. Designed with a focus on aerodynamics, it features a unique front wing integrated into the bonnet and a rear spoiler to optimise airflow. The Long Range Dual Motor variant provides a rear-biased all-wheel-drive setup with torque vectoring, delivering a more engaging driving experience than typical electric crossovers. Its interior is a showcase of sustainable luxury, utilising materials like bio-attributed MicroTech and animal welfare-certified wool.
