Polestar 3

Sino-Swedish premium EV brand hits the big time with a BMW iX rival that's suitably appealing to drive It may seem a little counterintuitive but, for the time being at least, this car is as big as a Polestar is going to get. Having been a one-model manufacturer for a couple of years, the company is now ushering in a wave of new all-electric products which will expand its showroom offering running towards 2026. The Polestar 4, Polestar 5 and Polestar 6 will eventually all populate an expanded network of UK dealerships, the firm now moving away from its old agency-only sales model.But, while those all might sound like notionally larger cars than a Polestar 3, none actually will be. For Polestar, Three is the biggest number. It identifies a car built on Volvo’s latest ‘SPA2’ model platform, making it a sister car to the new Volvo EX90; and one assembled both in China and at Volvo’s North American factory in South Carolina.Yes, it’s an SUV. But, supposedly, it drives like a sports car. So says Polestar's marketing material. We'll see if it lives up to that.
