After the 1, a sleek coupe and plug-in hybrid, came the 2, a battery-powered five-door fastback. On the way is the 3, the first Polestar SUV that already has a date set to make itself known to the world. The presentation of this electric SUV will take place in Denmark, starting in Copenhagen, but it can be followed live (at this link), starting at 6:00 p.m. on October 12.
Scheduled for launch in 2022, the Polestar 3 intends to impose itself in the SUV segment premium electric, combining high performance with the latest technologies in safety and driving assistance, an area where Polestar takes advantage of having Volvo Cars as a shareholder, allowing both brands to save thanks to synergies. In the case of pole star 3, this is immediately evident at the place of productionVolvo plant in Charleston, South Carolina, United States of America.
In addition, Polestar’s future battery-powered model will be built on a new architecture designed specifically for electric vehicles, developed and shared with Volvo. It is an evolution of the SPA, being practically certain that it will be the same base that will be at the service of the Volvo EX90. The actions will also extend to safety and driver assistance systems, with Polestar anticipating that its third model will include “core computing from NVIDIA, a long list of advanced safety systems from Volvo Cars and other automotive suppliers.” benchmarks like Zenseact, Luminar and Smart Eye”.

Performance-wise, expect a tram that’s not just fast in a straight line. Apparently, the house engineers sought a compromise between comfort and dynamism, since the most powerful version, equipped with the Performance Pack (optional), will go to four wheels a maximum power of 380 kW (517 hp) and a respectable 910 Nm. As standard, launch versions of the Polestar 3 will feature two motors, one per axle, dual-chamber adaptive air suspension and active dampers, which adjust to road conditions every two milliseconds. For him teaser and from the photo that is now published, this SUV gives up a higher ground clearance, as is usual in this class of models, preferring to honor sporting aspirations and favor behavior, which is only possible with a lower center of gravity. And this option brings you closer to the crossover concept.
Now we have to start the countdown until the official revelation, especially since to these new data we must add a guarantee given by the brand a few months ago, in terms of autonomy. The version with the greatest autonomy will mount a 110 kWh capacity battery and, apparently, will announce 610 km between recharges. On October 12, we hope, we will know the remaining technical data.
