Volvo's All New 2025 Polestar 3

Read Time:3 Minute, 40 Second

The Polestar 3 was produced at Volvo’s plant in Charleston, South Carolina as the inaugural model from their new standalone electric car brand designed to rival Porsche. It can travel up to 315 miles before needing recharging.

Torque vectoring makes driving even more engaging by overdriveing the outside wheel in corners for added fun, while its premium interior materials include chrome-free leather that is traceable, as well as textiles meeting animal welfare standards.

1. POWER

The Polestar 3 is an electric powerhouse, boasting two motors which produce 483 horsepower in both Long Range Dual Motor and Performance trims, giving it enough punch to reach 60mph in 4.5 seconds while traveling 279 miles on one charge.

Polestar’s range is comparable to midsize luxury EV crossovers such as BMW’s iX and Porsche Macan EV, and will even surpass them once final EPA ratings are made public. Furthermore, its charging system can decouple rear motor for improved efficiency as well as accommodate fast charges capable of handling 250kW; therefore allowing it to recharging from 10-80% within just 30 minutes.

Polestar cars don’t skimp on luxury either: every Polestar 3 comes equipped with four years of complimentary roadside assistance coverage.

2. LUXURY

The Polestar 4 looks like a crossover SUV but drives like a sedan, thanks to its 102 kwh battery which powers either single motor rear wheel drive or dual motor all wheel drive models and can be configured for either nimbleness and fun driving dynamics – including Performance mode which utilizes mechanical torque vectoring disconnect clutches that overdrive outside wheels for turn in assistance.

With Brembo-brand brakes and its big battery, Polestar believes they have found an effective combination for competing against luxury electric vehicles from BMW and Mercedes. Unfortunately, accessing an accessible charging location may be challenging; additionally, its use requires constant touchscreen swiping and steering-wheel fiddling in order to get things done, and costs almost three times as much than its counterpart, the Model 3. All in all, driving it can be costly!

3. COMFORT

With its low-slung driving position, instant torque delivery, and impressive speed capabilities, the Polestar 3 makes for an enjoyable journey around town or through canyons. When pushing harder on the pedal for more spirited driving sessions, no indication comes until an unrelenting burst of power arrives – no hint from either front or rear motor connecting again, only surprise from its unstoppable surge!

EV features include lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition and dual camera driver attention monitoring, as well as a head-up display and 25 speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system. Polestar will offer another driver assist feature known as Pilot Assist which uses roof mounted lidar and cameras to monitor its surroundings for full Level 4 autonomous driving when legal.

4. TECHNOLOGY

Polestar began as a Volvo tuner before evolving into an independent electric car company. Though affiliated with Geely (owners of Volvo and Lotus, among other brands), Polestar strives to offer more sporty driving experience – something evident by their 3 model’s variety of fun driving features that set it apart from its counterparts.

Engineers believe the vehicle features a fixed wing on its front that improves aerodynamics while breaking up its blunt face, as well as offering other technology like Pilot Assist that uses cameras and lasers to keep you centered in your lane, reading out lane markers on highway straightaways as well as curves – this system could save time on road trips!

5. EXPERIENCE

Polestar may be playing catch-up in a rapidly expanding midsize electric luxury crossover market, but its impressive power numbers and handsome design help it stand out. This car is both agile and confident in corners with a responsive steering rack and smooth driving feel reminiscent of a luxurious cruise on an empty highway.

Pilot Assist, a driver assistance feature utilizing cameras to maintain speed and distance from vehicles in front of you, is useful but does not allow hands-free driving. There’s also an easy way to turn it off completely.

Inside, the Polestar 3 features an easy and straightforward user experience thanks to a 14.5-inch vertical touchscreen running built-in Google apps as its primary interface, but there are also physical controls for gear selection, lighting adjustments, windshield wiper settings (with Hyundai-esque screen popups that show exactly what is happening) and volume adjustment on its steering wheel knob.
