Polestar Set to Launch Polestar 3 Electric SUV in November

Polestar is will launch its first SUV, Polestar 3, at an event on 12 October 2022 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

 

Polestar 3 promises to continue the unique EV take on life with a performance SUV that is very Polestar in looks, handling, and ethos. Polestar was once the performance arm of Volvo, but has been spun off in its own right.

Polestar 3 shares all-electric technology with Volvo Cars, including the centralised core computing from NVIDIA ,and a long list of advanced safety systems from Volvo Cars and leading industry suppliers including Zenseact, Luminar and Smart Eye.

 

“We had to ask ourselves: ‘what should a modern SUV look like?’ Polestar 3 defines the SUV for the electric age and in designing it, we addressed some of the fundamentals of the archetype: proportions, stance and aerodynamics,” says Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.

Performance is something Polestar promotes as being deeper than just straight-line acceleration. All launch models will have rear-biased dual motor powertrains with electric torque vectoring via a dual clutch system on the rear electric motor. Handling will be thanks to adaptive dual-chamber air suspension and active dampers as standard. Polestar 3 switches from comfort to firm to suit road conditions by assessing the ride every two milliseconds (500 Hz).

 

Thomas Ingenlath continues: “It’s this instant ability to transform from a comfortable cruiser to a sharp, agile performance car in less than the blink of an eye that makes Polestar 3 special as an electric performance SUV. It also benefits from a low centre of gravity and wide track for ultimate stability, and an exciting feeling behind the wheel.”

 

The optional Performance Pack has an epic output of 380 kW and 910 Nm It also adds Polestar Engineered chassis tuning for the suspension and signature Swedish gold details including valve caps, seat belts and a laser-etched interior light strip.

 

Featuring Polestar CEO, Thomas Ingenlath, and Polestar’s Head of Design, Maximilian Missoni, the launch event will commence at 19:00 CEST on 12 October. A live broadcast will be available at https://youtu.be/oga1XJAX8ms.
