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!
@@KrisRifa Just a heads up. Measured noise does not usually equals to perceived noise. Frequency etc plays a large factor in how we perceive noise level. I know Swedish car journalists stopped measure dB some years ago due to how misleading it was.
I'm watching your table here. And comparing this test with the one you did 2 weeks ago on Polestar. That time, it averaged 26kwh instead of almost 29 this time. The only difference I see is the temp. The "high" temp is similar -3 vs -4. The "low" temp is +8 vs -2. My guess is low and high are the other way around. Average temp is +2.5 vs -3 and this is probably where the difference shows. Just 5 degrees difference, and even that just part of the road, can cause such a consumption change ? That is interesting, really.
Still, a test is a test, and the comparison is made in the same conditions. From range perspective, the difference is so small, that it totally gets cancelled by the faster charging speed of the 800V architecture. And this is a range and charge test, after all, not a performance or build quality one. Now, if Polestar had his Zeekr 7x brother charging speed of 10-80% in 10 mins, then it was a closer call, even if the consumption is a bit higher compared with the PPE architecture. But as it stands now, undermined by the outdated platforms that the chinese insist to put onto the eu siblings, volvo included, I would not choose it. Even if it has a better comfort. I would probably go with Genesis for a premium crossover with 800V, with V2L and regen paddles, and save the money until something better shows up. Because I am really curious what happens when the 7x reaches EU next year.
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.
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.
Not true at all. The wheels the manufactures put on the car are part of the cars overall efficiency. By your logic you would also modify the shape of the car so all the drag co-efficients were the same. People want to know the range of the car they are buying, and these are popular specs.
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.😥
Only Audi still has acceptable consumption. I myself own a Q4 2024/3 210 kw RWD and it consumes about 20-21 kw/100 km on the highway in winter at 120 km/h. The Q6 is heavier and the drive is AWD, so I would choose only RWD for the Q6 because I don't need AWD and the consumption could also be a kilowatt or two lower than the Q6 on test.
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 find it interesting the reviewer had bias to Polestar & Porsche but when the Audi beat them in efficiency & charging speed he skirted past that detail. Bias? Objective?
@@Andrew-jd7fi somebody has to teach people on the internet the difference between opinion and bias 🙈🙈 It’s like they think everything is a conspiracy 🤣🤣
@@Andrew-jd7fi how is differentiating preference and bias being sensitive? I’d advise you to buy a dictionary so you can learn the meaning of words before you comment on videos. You’d look less like a conspiracy theorist when writing “objective” because somebody has an opinion. All I do on this channel is spout my opinion, that is literally all I do. I’ve owned four Audis, one Porsche and zero Polestars. So if I’d have an objective it would have been “I love Audis”. How you like the apples?
I like Polestars. But what about quality in the non-EV part of the car? If Teslas have issues with the suspension, noises.. and they make more than a million cars per year, I don’t know what to think about Polestar.
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 😅
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?
@@izemanevobike In 'my' Macan, it was also just pure outside noise, like passing cars. It looks like they just removed the engine and forgot that if you eliminate ICE, you need something else to hide noises previously masked by the engine. Yes, my BMW has much smaller wheels as I prefer comfort over style, and ofc dealership Macan was all about the look, but still, I was surprised how noisy it was even with my hearing deficit.
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.

You know my electric skateboard has a lower consumption than a Tesla Model X. So by your definition Tesla is lightyears behind my electric skateboard. Since when did consumption become so important? These are tiny differences.
It is clearly sponsored by Ragde Charge, how do you recon the car with the highest consumption would be the ones sponsoring the video? To showcase they made the least efficient car? This comment is so bad and dumb it hurts

Range gets annihilated the moment you have sustained < 0°C temps. That's my direct experience from our travels this December.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, that RWD version is going to be a real road trip machine!
Great choice
The price range is probably adequate to Norway, I suppose it is much different in the UK where Polestar3 is not the cheapest at all..
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.

If you have different wheel profiles than there is no sense to perform such precise test.

Did you lower the ps3 or the otherds, or did you just go standard ride height in all vehicles
Great video! More of this kind of comparison 😃
The consumption is mad high for all 3. 30-40% higher than Model Y Long range. Why is it so high?
Much bigger cars, at least Porsche and Audi. Bigger wheels and…. Maybe rough road surface?
In canada the q6 quattro is 20 000$ cheaper than the polestar 3 when similarly specced.
