Are you looking for an in-depth preview of Polestar‘s first-ever SUV, the upcoming Polestar 3? As an electric vehicle enthusiast, you likely have questions about how this new luxury model from Volvo‘s sporty sub-brand measures up on specs, capabilities, and more against rivals like the Tesla Model X and Model Y.
This guide will give you an insider‘s perspective on everything we know so far about Polestar 3 pricing, release timeframe, range ratings, performance, interior features, advanced driver aids, and more – including analysis of how the 3 stacks up against competitors. You‘ll get the deepest look at Polestar‘s ambitious plan to grow the 3 into one of the premier electric SUVs on the market when it launches in 2023.
Overview: Blending Performance, Luxury and Sustainability
As Polestar CEO Thomas Ingolstadt says, the Polestar 3 brings "avant-garde electric mobility to the core of the SUV market." That means blending the responsiveness and agility of a performance car with the flexibility of an electric SUV – all wrapped in a technology-focused, sustainable luxury package.
Make no mistake, Polestar plans to expand from 29,000 vehicles sold in 2021 to over 290,000 by the middle of the decade. And the hot-selling SUV segment will play a crucial role in powering that growth.
So the Polestar 3 aims right at the heart of competitors like the Tesla Model X, BMW iX, and Mercedes EQE SUV by emphasizing range, driving dynamics and trail-ready capability. Combine that with Google-powered infotainment and Volvo‘s reputation for advanced safety – all in a lower-emissions package – and you can see Polestar is aiming high here.
