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!
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.
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
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.😥
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😅
Another nice video Kris. Seems like you're on a roll! LOLed when you pre-empted the "that's not cold" comments. :). (tror kanskje jeg ville tatt ut den lille snutten hvor du har mobilen i hånden, og trykker på den for å ringe.)
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.
Great video Kris! Loved the concept driving them side by side. Looking forward to the comparison-video!
You make very interesting videos! Thank you. Don't let the negative comments get to you. I like your unique take on EVs and charging.
Thanks a lot!

Maybe you could send me an email on that specific one? I'll take a look.
@@KrisRifa Done :-)
Excellent video! Thanks for putting this together for us!
@@ktim2855 thanks for watching and commenting 🤩🤩
If you have different wheel profiles than there is no sense to perform such precise test.
Polestar 3 every day here 😀
Goodluck with your Chinese car. I'll take the Porsch then, better build and way more fun to drive.
@@anoniem9518Polestar 4 is chinese. 3 not.
@@anoniem9518 buy a cayman for fun. The battery in the macan is also Chinese anyway😂
Meget bra video Kris 👍🏻
Takk for det!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, that RWD version is going to be a real road trip machine!
Great video! More of this kind of comparison 😃
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 is bigger car
@@EGH666 same in Netherlands
Did you lower the ps3 or the otherds, or did you just go standard ride height in all vehicles

Of course it's cold, with no gloves, no beanie, no scarf and your jacket open. Just saying...
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.
Audi all day
Polestar 3 AWD should win this is my prediction!

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.
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 😇
Polestar 3-❤
All that technology, and you can't even fathom out how to connect the phone to the cars hands-free.
What do you mean?
@KrisRifa Holding your phone and dialling someone whilst driving isn't a great advert for all three cars 🙄
Let's gooo!
Porsche blows them all out the water

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.

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
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.
Another nice video Kris. Seems like you're on a roll! LOLed when you pre-empted the "that's not cold" comments. :).
