Polestar 3 Adds Rear-Wheel Drive Option

Polestar is expanding its Polestar 3 line-up by introducing a Long Range Single Motor variant. This new model offers consumers an additional way to experience their flagship electric SUV at a more accessible starting price of £69,900.

Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar, remarked, “With the Long range Single motor Polestar 3 we offer consumers a new entry-point for our flagship electric SUV. The rear-wheel drive configuration fits with our performance-focused driving dynamics that make the car stand out in the luxury SUV sector.”

This new entry-level Polestar 3, manufactured in China and the USA, features the same 111 kWh battery pack as the Dual Motor version, delivering a 250 kW peak charging capability. This allows for a 30-minute 10-80% charge on DC, providing up to 403 miles on a single charge according to the WLTP standard.

Maintaining Polestar’s commitment to performance, the Long Range Single Motor version includes a sophisticated passive damper system with Hydraulic Rebound Stops (HRS) and Frequency Selective Damping (FSD). These features ensure the new model retains the dynamic character of its dual-motor counterparts.
