Polestar 3: The first SUV of the Swedish brand

The Polestar range includes a family vehicle, a large Crossover with athletic lines. But don't expect the Polestar 3 to be on the market anytime soon, as it won't arrive until late 2023.

Step by step, the Polestar brand, owned by Volvo, is expanding its offer. After the Polestar 1, this big rechargeable hybrid premium coupe, after the Polestar 2, this electric sedan openly aiming for a Tesla Model 3, here's the Polestar 3, a big 4.90m long SUV that you might think is the Volvo XC90 watted alter ego. No, this vehicle with a sharper style than the aforementioned SUV belongs more to the Crossover category.

From certain angles there's a little bit of the Renault Espace 5 in it, the Cupra Formentor too. But don't equate it with an SUV Coupe, Polestar already has that on the shelf, it will be the next model, you will have understood, the Polestar 4, but that's not our topic of the day.

The range will also offer a variant called Performance distilling 517 hp for a torque value of 910 Nm. This one will be slightly faster with 0 to 100 km/h achieved in 4.7 seconds, counting 5 seconds for the standard twin-engine variant. Polestar indicates a range of 610 km according to the WLTP cycle. The Polestar 3 has just opened a new technical base that will soon be dominated by the Volvo EX90.
