The updated Polestar 3 electric SUV features significant internal improvements while maintaining its exterior design. New 800V architecture, more efficient batteries, and revised electric motors increase range across both trim levels. The Performance model gains 160hp more power, reducing 0-62mph time to 3.8 seconds, while offering 368 miles of range. The Dual Motor variant achieves 395 miles. Processing power has increased eightfold, with chassis, suspension, and steering retuned. Polestar's UK managing director Matt Galvin discussed the company's sales growth and commitment to the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate. The car competes with Mercedes EQE SUV, Lotus Eletre, and BMW iX. Interior features include Bridge of Weir leather and Bowers & Wilkins audio with Dolby Atmos. The Polestar 3 launched in 2024 alongside the Polestar 4, with the Polestar 5 expected this summer, followed by Polestar 8 and next-generation Polestar 2.
