The Polestar 3 Is the Most Convincing Polestar Yet

It is easier to make a car than a brand, a point proved by Polestar’s journey towards becoming an independent automaker. Having started as a motorsport team Polestar diversified into tuning Volvo road cars, was absorbed by the larger company and turned into an in-house tuning arm, and was then set semi-free in 2022 through an IPO. Volvo still owns a stake, as does Volvo’s ultimate owner, China’s Geely Group, with Polestar products sitting on EV platforms shared with both of them.

There are shortcuts for some functions, but even doing something as simple as adjusting the regeneration level required a multi-stage dive into the UI. Fortunately the Polestar 3 is good to drive. Air suspension is standard from launch, although what is likely to be a steel-sprung, rear-wheel-drive base version will follow later. The dual motor cars also get a twin-clutch torque biasing rear differential, this apparently the first one fitted to an EV.
