Polestar 3 (2024-2025)

SUV2025-2026Discontinued

Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor

The Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor travels further between charges than most competing SUVs, around 365 miles on the motorway. The car’s substantial weight of 2,545 kg reduces both efficiency and tyre life.

By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 444 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you’re buying used. What owners say: Owners value the build quality and cabin, rating fit and finish above German rivals. Software problems are the main complaint, including blank screens that require a restart.

What Owners Say

Balanced

Owners Love

  • Owners value the build quality and cabin, rating fit and finish above German rivals.
  • Very comfortable seats combine with air suspension for a refined, quiet ride.
  • For a large SUV, handling is good and acceleration strong and smooth.

Watch Out For

  • Software problems are the main complaint, including blank screens that require a restart.
  • Real-world range falls well short of the official figure: owners report about 250 to 310 miles, with less in winter or on motorways.
  • Charging is slower than 800-volt rivals, and some owners report battery loss of 1 to 2% per day while parked.

Owner Tips

  • Check that the latest software is installed and all screens and cameras work.
  • Nearly-new and ex-demo examples offer substantial savings compared with new cars.
  • Plan longer winter journeys around about 250 miles between charges.
