The Polestar 3 is a battery electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV[7][8] produced by Swedish manufacturer Polestar, released in 2024. The 3 is the first vehicle to use the all-new SPA2 platform, a vehicle platform which is dedicated to battery-electric vehicles.[9]
The vehicle is the flagship for the brand, positioned above the 4 compact SUV, and is based on the similarly sized EX90 crossover.[10]
Overview
[edit]The Polestar 3 was officially revealed on 12 October 2022[11] and will be based on the same platform as the upcoming Volvo EX90 flagship SUV,[3][12][13] both of which are based on the 2021 Volvo Recharge concept.[14] The vehicle had made its public debut at the April 2023 Shanghai Auto Show. Measuring 4,900 mm (190 in) long, the vehicle belongs to the British E-segment size segmentation.
Despite being similarly sized to the EX90 third-row vehicle, the 3 is exclusively a 5-seater. It comes exclusively in all-wheel drive. Trim levels include the 'Long Range' and the 'Performance Pack', similar trims to the EX90. Both trims run on the same battery.[15]
