Street Stance: Scandinavian understatement with SUV presence

The Polestar 3 wears Scandinavian design like a tailored coat — clean planes, a low-slung roofline and a confident front that reads more premium than flashy. At 4,900 mm long and 1,935 mm wide it fills the road without being ostentatious, while the coupe-like profile and aerodynamic details underline efficiency as much as style. Mass is obvious — curb weight sits around 2,575–2,584 kg — which gives the 3 a settled, substantial appearance on the move.

Cabin calm: minimalist, tactile and well put together

Inside, materials and finishes aim for calm luxury: soft-touch surfaces, leather and metal detailing marry a restrained layout with useful ergonomics. The layout keeps clutter low and sightlines clean, with seating for five and an interior tuned for comfort on long journeys rather than sporty drama. Practical touches — a well-placed center console, clear controls and thoughtful storage — make everyday usability feel considered rather than coy.

Practical room: family-friendly boot and usable rear space

The luggage bay offers a usable 484 litres with seats up and expands to a maximum of 1,411 litres with the rear folded, enough for a weekly shop or a family weekend away when flattened. Rear-seat legroom and headroom are competitive for the class, while the five-seat layout keeps ingress and child-seat fitting straightforward. Payload figures vary by specification, but the cabin and boot balance daily practicality with the kind of cargo volume expected from a premium electric SUV.

On-road manners: composed, heavy but sure-footed

Drive impressions match the numbers: the range-topping dual-motor variants deliver brisk acceleration — 0–100 km/h in about 4.7 to 5.0 seconds — driven by outputs up to 517 hp and torque well into the 800–900 Nm zone, while the single-motor rear-wheel-drive model trades outright punch for efficiency with 299 hp and a 0–100 km/h figure around 7.8 seconds. Weight is felt in quick direction changes, but the chassis and all-wheel-drive systems keep the Polestar 3 composed, offering confident high-speed stability and predictable grip. Steering is precise enough for highway cruising and confident lane changes, though the mass means the 3 never behaves like a compact sports SUV.

Real-world range: big battery, different appetites

Under the skin sits a 107 kWh battery and a spread of consumption figures: roughly 17.6–21.9 kWh/100 km depending on motor layout and tune, translating to official ranges of about 567–706 km for the current line-up. In everyday mixed driving this generally means a long-distance-capable SUV that is best judged by the chosen spec — the single-motor RWD maximises range, while the higher-power dual-motor cars prioritise performance at the cost of higher consumption. Expect real-world highway runs and cold-weather use to reduce those numbers, but the large battery makes long trips practical with well-planned charging stops.

Helping hands and a smart brain

Technology centers on a modern infotainment environment with integrated Google services and clear mapping, while driver assistance packages include adaptive cruise and advanced camera and radar systems for highway support. Systems aim for safety and convenience rather than headline-grabbing autonomy, with smooth adaptive controls and lane guidance that reduce fatigue on long runs. Connectivity and voice control are useful day-to-day, though the simplicity of the interior means interaction stays intuitive rather than feature-bloated.

Who should consider a Polestar 3?

The Polestar 3 suits buyers after a premium electric SUV that balances Scandinavian design, strong tech and genuine long-distance capability; the lineup ranges from a highly efficient single-motor RWD (299 hp, up to about 706 km quoted range) to performance-focused dual-motor options (around 489–517 hp and quicker 0–100 km/h times). Choose the single-motor for maximum range and efficiency, or a dual-motor for brisk overtakes and all-weather traction — either way the 3 targets buyers who want understated luxury with electric range and real-world usability. For families that prioritise comfort, tech and long-distance EV touring, the Polestar 3 is a compelling, well-rounded package.
