Polestar 3 rules in all categories, range, ride, handling, comfort quietness and a superb sound system, and all that space well done Polestar. I am going to have to test drive one here n Vancouver, BC! This is crazy as Audi and Porsche do make very fine refined EV's.
Amazing test Kris, you've really overaccomplished yourself. Just like the Q6, Amazing range in those freezing conditions. We ordered a RWD Q6 100kWh with small wheels, so maybe that'll even do 400km+ in comparable conditions.
Once it gets colder and colder, the cw value of 0,29 for the Polestar 3 really cuts into the consumption. Such a shame, I hoped for a little miracle seeing your last ps3 range test where it did considerably better and that was in wet conditions between 2 and 7 degrees. Luckily these conditions are only for a few months a year, cant wait what it will do in summer conditions. My own polestar is about 40% less efficient in winter conditions. The audi had the best consumption, but also the lowest power, smaller dimensions and a good cw value from around 0,26. If only Polestar could do that as well 😅
Thanks, Kris, for putting this together! It’s so valuable to have comparable test drives conducted at the same time-truly the *Out of Spec* way! 😊 The results are fascinating. For noise measurement, Clas Ohlson offers an affordable sound meter for under 400 NOK, which is the same one used by Elbilforeningen in their tests. I have it too, and it seems to work quite well. Looking forward to the next episode in this comparison series!
The Q6 got great range in your other tests so hoping it does the best as looking at that as my next vehicle option.. though your Polestar 3 recent videos look really good.
Very good video! This kind of comparison is the most interesting. When you drive one at a time, you never remember exactly how the noise is from car to car, and the consumption also becomes more accurate between them. Thumbs up to you.👍🏻 And the mention of Audi's lack of high interior quality for the price, I think it's worth to mention. In that part Audi unfortunally has gone the wrong way with their EV's.😥
Must be some great incentives. I tried speccing the Q6 and also the Macan similar to my P3 before ordering, and both were about +15-30k euro and less luxurious. I’m very happy with my P3
When you showed the PORSCHE interior we could see the gray bar on the left. If the car was limiting the energy input that bar would not have been that high. So it was the charger not the car that was limiting the energy delivery.
I usually don't agree with Kris, but I have to admit that Macan is 100% too loud for a premium car. I had Macan 4 for a 90-minute test drive, and I was shocked after 20 minutes on B roads how incomplete this car feels. and I didn't even hit motorways to test it on UK's speed limit. it was annoying at 50mph! if Q6 is even lauder I have no idea how people can accept that. And because you will lease it in 90% you don't want to spend 5k extra on sound dampening job, right? I don't agree on the interior comments, especially the comparison of Macan and P3. These are two different approaches. the 'sitting inside' Macan is not a downside.. this was a goal, you still have a Porsche feeling while driving something bigger. I love HUD but tested Macan was the only car where I could say I could live without because even quite tall man (187cm) could sit so low on the floor, that navigation on the driver's display was almost in front of me (yes, I would still pay extra for HUD anyway). I am not sure if you had air suspension in Macan, as I think it's standard in P3, which could explain driving over bumps feeling?
I’d like to see a test like this between the VW ID7 tourer, Audi A6 advant and BMW i5 touring.
@@stephenwensley9328 that’s a great idea! I’ll try to put together that as soon as the A6 E-tron is available!
+mercedes eqe300,to be complete.
Polestar 3 every day here 😀
Excellent video! Thanks for putting this together for us!

Well, not all. It loses at charging and performance, but still a nice package overall. But to be honest, all of these are fine cars.
Could it be that you didn't listen TOO closely? Audi had the lowest consumption. Polestar won because of the bigger battery.
Amazing test Kris, you've really overaccomplished yourself. Just like the Q6, Amazing range in those freezing conditions. We ordered a RWD Q6 100kWh with small wheels, so maybe that'll even do 400km+ in comparable conditions.
Thanks a lot! Yeah, that RWD version is going to be a real road trip machine!
Meget bra video Kris 👍🏻
Takk for det!
Great video! More of this kind of comparison 😃

I have to say to go one further, Polestar 3 should get the SUV of the year it is that good!
Polestar 3 easy win and worth the money

Maybe you could send me an email on that specific one? I'll take a look.

Polestar 3 AWD should win this is my prediction!
Of course it's cold, with no gloves, no beanie, no scarf and your jacket open. Just saying...
In canada the q6 quattro is 20 000$ cheaper than the polestar 3 when similarly specced.
Must be some great incentives. I tried speccing the Q6 and also the Macan similar to my P3 before ordering, and both were about +15-30k euro and less luxurious.
I’m very happy with my P3
@@dkkev weird i spec a polestar 3 long range dual motor and it comes to 115k cad. the q6 top spec is around 95k. no incentives on any
Polestar 3-❤
No need for a SUV anymore with the A6 Avant 😊
Yeah, can’t wait to test that car!
@KrisRifa One tester wasn't sure it had no noise cancelling function because the noise was virtually non existant 😇

I drove the Audi and don't think it's loud at all. Maybe it's a bad combination of tires and road where he drives.
Mic audio interface in Polestar is terrible
The range on all the cars really surprised me. I was expecting at least above 300 Miles range in each.
going high-ish speed in below zero temperatures. Not likely.
Bit naive don't you think. -5 celsius 120kph.
300 miles? Not even the best EV has managed that in summer in this test. So SUVs in winter aren't gonna come close.
