Polestar 3 is the first Polstar SUV that will go head-to-head with Tesla and BMW on the electric "playground".

Polestar 3 is a nice electric SUV that shares many design features with the previous Polestar 1 and Polestar 2 models. Similarities can be found both at the front and at the back, but the front fascia has now become extremely "smart". In fact, it hides a bunch of advanced radars and other modern technology, and the modified headlights reflect a new light signature.

Beneath the seductive exterior of the Polestar 3 lies 400-volt electrical architecture consisting of a battery with capacity 111 kWh (107 kWh net) and two electric motors. There is enough energy for up to 480 kilometers a long way, due to fast charging with up to 250 kW, and the battery will be from 10 to 80 %, filled in le 30 minutes. It is the fastest charging in the class, and in addition to speed, the Polestar 3 also offers two-way charging and a serial mechanical heat pump, which ensures the optimal temperature of the battery and, consequently, greater efficiency and the achievement of a longer distance traveled.
