Polestar 3 2024 review: New electric car targets BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV with Swedish twist

- The 2024 Polestar 3 is the all-new model that will put the Swedish electric vehicle specialist on the map. While the segment-straddling Polestar 2 mid-sizer came before it, the newcomer is a proper SUV of the large variety, meaning it has the zero-emissions BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV firmly in its sights.
So, what is the Polestar 3 doing to stand out from the crowd? Well, for one, there's its Scandinavian design, which helps it to set itself apart both inside and out. There's also its 610km driving range on the WLTP combined-cycle test - but that drops to 'just' 560km with its 380kW/910Nm Performance Pack optioned.
In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Stephen Corby travels to Sweden to get an early taste of the Polestar 3 on ice before it arrives in Australia in its initial specification of a dual-motor powertrain and a 111kWh battery pack for $132,900 plus on-road costs.

What a peace of art!
Already orderd mine. Black also. Great super car!
Indeed promising for 1st gen, but the rear seat is inmho unusable for adults on longer drives due to the high floor, = legs at an uncomfortable angle. Due to the battery I guess.
I seriously envy you. Hope it gives you the satisfaction and joy it promises 😊
Same here but Magnesium with Jupiter Nappa Leather seats. Really looks amazing and can't wait for it to arrive.
Great design. Great looking car. Polestar has a great line up of vehicles going forward. PSNY stock is the most undervalued EV stock IMHO.
Man this is a lovely car. If I had the money to burn, I wouldn't buy any of it's rivals. The simplicity of the design tugs at my heart's strings. Simply beautiful ❤️
Beautiful car! Nice review.
Very impressed with stats and design so far. Can't wait until it lands down under to have a closer look and consideration for purchase.
It is number 1 on the EV list so far.
MY WORD !!!!! This colour is absolutely stunning ...... I'm definitely in.
Polestars I've seen on the road give off a classy vibe. All their drivers said they loved their Polestar....i asked them
@2:19 So the rear glass isn't heated ? Developed in Sweden ? Hmmm.
Yes it has, and the side mirrors are heated :)
Hi, are you sure that in motor way cuising just rear drive is disconnected?
I'm guessing they chose to disconnect the rear because the front can be more efficient, as it is lacking the clutch system for torque vectoring. Whereas in the Polestar 4, it doesn't have true torque vectoring on any axle, so it disconnects the front motor in that one instead.
@@tobias_dahlberg actually according to Polestar web site information, it is actually the front motor which is disconnected. And that is good thing, then each axle has a task of their own.
Are you bummed?
Piece of art
Looks like either there is no rear-window defroster or, if there is one, it doesn’t work …
Don’t the rear windows have defrosters?! Why are they all covered in snow?! (You aren’t supposed to drive a car unless your windows are cleared of snow/Ice first! Driving 101….)
What a piece of Art-- that only St. Greta the Divine could afford!. I MIGHT buy a used one in, say, 05 years, when its circa $30K USD!!
over $100K for that small size...nah.. too much for me... i rather spent that money Model Y or Xpeng G6 or BYD Seal U for half of the price and i can add more if i wanna upgrade the spec. And If i want the luxurious then i go Nio EC7! But....
I wont see Nio, Xpeng coming down to Australia any sooner until 2025 later?!
Its is not small… 30cm longer than the Y
Small? It's better than the seal and Tesla y lol
@Kurre. I visited. Is low! And you willing to spent twice for 30cm longer?
@@mharro88 seal U not seal. How much is better for paying double?
@@dann5515 the Awd Tesla Y is 80k aud. The p3 starts at 130k still allt more but not twice as musch
Volvo has truly sold its soul. What rubbish. Looks like a typical chinese SUV and you'll fall asleep driving it. Give me a ioniq 5n anyday
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Ioniq5 over this 😅😅😅😅
@@ollirusama 100% way more fun to drive. Can you track this? No. Volvo has turned into overpriced Chinese rubbish
Volvo is class, Safety & quality.
Has been for a long time.
Don't have to like that...but it's true.
@@mharro88 It's not Chinese. You just told yourself that because of their owners. But if you look at who engineered, designed this car, the work was done by teams in Sweden. Some of these will be built in the USA, some in China.
@@benjaminsmith2287 it's swedish /Chinese joint engineering with mostly Chinese parts made in China. Personally I'd rather it be build in China than U.S.
