About this listen

The 2025 Polestar 3 Launch Edition promises Swedish minimalism but delivers 25 speakers, LiDAR, and 254 TOPS of Nvidia computing power. At $92,000, this electric luxury SUV challenges everything you know about Scandinavian design philosophy. But does all this technology actually make you a better driver?

In this comprehensive review, we examine Polestar's first SUV through the lens of real driving performance. From the 517-horsepower dual-motor setup with torque vectoring to the occasionally frustrating key fob situation, we test every aspect that matters to driving enthusiasts. The minimalist interior hides maximum complexity, but does Swedish engineering justify BMW iX pricing?

Our honest assessment covers acceleration testing (0-60 in 4.5 seconds), handling dynamics with the dual-chamber air suspension, and daily usability in real world driving conditions. The Polestar 3 represents a fascinating paradox: minimalist design philosophy meeting maximum technological complexity. Whether you're cross-shopping against the BMW iX, Genesis GV70 Electrified, or Tesla Model X, this review provides insights you won't find elsewhere.
