POWERTRAIN
Pairing two high-performance, liquid cooled electric motors with computer assisted power distribution, the Polestar 3 powertrain provides optimal traction and control in all circumstances. Long-range dual motor with Performance Pack: delivers up to 380 kW (517 hp) of power and 910 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometres per in 4.7 seconds, with a range of up to 449 kilometres. Long-range dual motor: delivers up to 360 kW (489 hp) of power and 840 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 5.0 seconds, with a range of up to 506 kilometres.
PERFORMANCE OR RANGE MODES
Polestar 3 allows the driver to optimize the powertrain for either maximum power or efficiency, by selecting performance mode or range mode. The latter enables more frequent disengagement of the rear motor to go the extra kilometre(s).
ACTIVE AIR SUSPENSION
Replacing conventional dampers, the dual chamber active air suspension enhances handling and comfort by adapting to the car’s movements 500 times a second. The system also provides different settings, such as off-road and loading modes, and automatically lowers the ride height at high speed to optimize aerodynamics.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
The advanced electronic all-wheel drive system ensures effective power delivery, regardless of road surface or weather conditions. It can also disconnect the rear motor to extend the real-world range when full power is not required.
STAGGERED WHEEL SET-UP
Increased rear axle stability. Decreased body roll. Polestar 3 features a staggered wheel setup with wider rims and 295 mm tires at the rear, further improving the car’s handling characteristics.
22″ PERFORMANCE WHEELS
The 22-inch Performance wheels are forged instead of cast, using a manufacturing technique rooted in motorsport. Lighter and stronger than conventional alloy wheels and shod with custom-developed Pirelli P Zero tires, they ensure excellent handling and road contact. Available as an upgrade.
BREMBO BRAKES
Standard on every Polestar 3 with the Performance Pack, the high-performance Brembo brakes benefit from decades of competition experience and a long-time collaboration with Polestar. The ventilated discs and four-piston aluminum front calipers offer increased rigidity and quick response at any temperature.
TRUE TORQUE VECTORING
Polestar 3’s computer-controlled torque vectoring system constantly monitors for wheelspin and actively redistributes power to the wheel with more grip. This results in faster acceleration, higher cornering speeds and better traction on slippery surfaces.
EFFORTLESS AERODYNAMICS
POLESTAR 3 PREMIERES A NEW AERODYNAMIC PROFILE WHERE STRONG FOCUS HAS BEEN PLACED ON RETAINING THE HALLMARKS OF THE SUV, INCLUDING THE POWERFUL AND WIDE STANCE. THIS HAS BEEN LED BY THE SUBTLE YET EFFECTIVE AERODYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION.
OPTIMIZED AIRFLOW
Aerodynamic elements are integrated into the exterior design, working together to enhance handling and efficiency: Front and rear aero wings: direct airflow over the car, reducing pressure build-up and increasing downforce and stability. Rear aero blades: enable smoother air release from the sides to reduce drag. Windows: create a completely flat surface, thanks to the flush side profile and acoustic laminated glass, keeping airflow attached to the body and reducing turbulence and wind noise. Fully flush door handles: increase aerodynamic efficiency by reducing side profile drag and not interfering with airflow. The handles extend when the driver approaches while carrying Polestar 3’s ultrawideband or digital key.
HEADLIGHTS
Minimal design, maximum illumination. The headlights emphasize the clean, aerodynamic exterior, the LED headlights combine minimalist aesthetics with intelligent adaptive technology for a signature expression and an optimized view.
DOOR MIRRORS
Frameless design: More reflection. Less obstruction. The glass-to-edge design allows for a 30% smaller mirror housing that optimizes the driver’s view and contributes to greater aerodynamic efficiency. Electrically adjustable, heated and folding: Safety meets convenience. The mirrors are heated to prevent fogging and powered to ensure precise and effortless adjustment. They fold away when the car is locked, reducing the risk of parking damage. Auto-dimming: All mirrors automatically dim when facing extra-bright lights. This enhances preventive safety and eye comfort, and reduces the risk of being dazzled.
WHEELS
Polestar 3 comes with a selection of precision-engineered alloy wheels that echo the geometric forms of the car itself. Using diamond cutting, 3-axis machining or our patented 3D laser etching technology, each wheel surface gets its own signature look and high-quality finish. Each wheel design has been carefully matched to the exterior features of Polestar 3. All available wheels meet Polestar’s high standards for safety, durability, handling, and performance
REAR LIGHT BAR
Day or night, Polestar 3’s high-intensity rear lights adapt their luminance to the light conditions, increasing visibility,and lowering the risk of collisions from behind.
COLOURS
Always a colour that features the features. Polestar 3 is available in a carefully curated choice of exterior colours, each selected to accentuate
SMART SAFETY
POLESTAR 3 IS BUILT ON ALMOST 100 YEARS OF GROUNDBREAKING SAFETY DEVELOPMENT. DESIGNED WITH THE LATEST STRUCTURAL INNOVATIONS AND ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS, IT’S AT THE FOREFRONT OF PROTECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE TECHNOLOGY.
LiDAR FROM LUMINAR
Scans the environment to create a 3D understanding of the car’s surroundings, further enhancing its driver assistance capabilities. It uses laser technology to identify objects up to 250 metres away, even in darkness and poor weather conditions.
UPGRADE INCLUDES ADDITIONAL NVIDIA COMPUTER
Able to handle 254 trillion operations per second, it’s more than capable of processing the visual and sensory input needed for advanced driver assistance functions. Plus: Three extra high resolution cameras. Two are placed in the door mirror arms, complementing the standard surround view cameras to enhance rearward vision. A third camera is added to the SmartZone, extending the car’s forward vision. All three additional cameras include an automatic cleaning function, ensuring optimal vision regardless of weather or road conditions.
SMARTZONE
As Polestar 3 doesn’t need a grille, it’s replaced by the SmartZone, containing cameras, sensors, and a radar. It enables the car to see things the driver sometimes can’t and detect potentially dangerous situations.
INTERIOR RADARS & CAMERAS
Two infrared cameras track the driver’s eyes, and four motion sensing radars monitor the car’s interior. The cameras can detect signs of fatigue or drowsiness, even through glasses. The radars help ensure that no children or pets are left in the car unintentionally. Both features work without storing information.
