Unlike the Polestar 2, there’s no longer a strong connection with gas-powered Volvos, so the engineers and designers were given a fresh new platform to play with. That has allowed for some spectacular styling, more interior space and athletic dynamics.
Note that even the non-Performance Pack trim gets the option of those wheels, which get a unique style all their own, not shared with the PP. 2025 Polestar 3, front seat | Photo: D.Heyman 2025 Polestar 3, rear seats | Photo: D.Heyman Speaking of which, you’ll surely feel rested after a long drive in a 3 because these seats are epic in terms of comfort. They support the body but have the right cushioning, and they also get an optional massage feature. The way the seats are adjusted is also unique. Forget traditional seat adjust controls; instead you have a single joystick-like control for all of it.

The optional 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system is fantastic , the displays feature crisp graphics and fonts and the infotainment interface is slick.

The Polestar 3 comes standard with a 111-kWh battery and dual permanent magnet synchronous EV motors that make 480 hp and a generous 620 lb-ft of torque; those climb to 517 hp and 671 lb-ft when the 3 is equipped with the Performance Pack.
