Polestar 3 2024 review: New electric car targets BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV with Swedish twist

The 2024 Polestar 3 is the all-new model that will put the Swedish electric vehicle specialist on the map. While the segment-straddling Polestar 2 mid-sizer came before it, the newcomer is a proper SUV of the large variety, meaning it has the zero-emissions BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV firmly in its sights.

So, what is the Polestar 3 doing to stand out from the crowd? Well, for one, there's its Scandinavian design, which helps it to set itself apart both inside and out. There's also its 610km driving range on the WLTP combined-cycle test – but that drops to 'just' 560km with its 380kW/910Nm Performance Pack optioned.

In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Stephen Corby travels to Sweden to get an early taste of the Polestar 3 on ice before it arrives in Australia in its initial specification of a dual-motor powertrain and a 111kWh battery pack for $132,900 plus on-road costs.
