What is the Polestar 3?

The Polestar 3 is an electric SUV and the brand’s more upright model. It brings the higher seating position and roomy format of an SUV to Polestar’s minimalist design approach. Polestar grew from a Swedish performance and motorsport name into a standalone electric performance brand.

The first generation began in 2024, when customer deliveries started. EU registration figures cover 2024–2025; US EPA and Canadian NRCan figures begin in 2025.

The first generation spans 2024 to today. The Polestar 3 is electric. EU versions range from 187 kW (254 PS) to 380 kW (517 PS); Canadian versions range from 220 kW (299 PS) to 500 kW (680 PS).

The range includes single- and dual-motor layouts, with power varying by version. The Polestar 3 brought the brand into the SUV class, while carrying through its pared-back cabin design.

The Polestar 3 runs on electricity, so it has no petrol or diesel consumption figure and produces no tailpipe CO₂ while driving. Electricity use and driving range vary by version and market.
