2024 Polestar 3 Review | Big new high-tech luxury electric SUV thrashed in the snow

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Scorching new Swedish EV proves large, heavy SUVs don’t need to be slow and cumbersome 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
The 2024 Polestar 3 is only the second mainstream global model from the young Swedish-Chinese EV-maker and it’s being spruiked as a genuine performance vehicle - despite being a large electric SUV weighing almost 2.6 tonnes and offering up to 250mm of ground clearance.
It won’t be cheap and the big, battery-powered SUV will not be offered with seven seats inside its luxurious yet minimalist Scandinavian interior - unlike upcoming Volvo EX90 sister model - because that just wouldn’t suit its athletic intent, insists Polestar.
With whopping 380kW/910Nm outputs, sports-tuned Sachs suspension, big Brembo brakes and a clever torque-vectoring rear axle developed by Borg Warner, it certainly sounds capable on paper - but can something so big and heavy truly be fun and engaging?
Feann Torr headed to the arctic circle for a world-first drive of the new Polestar 3 to evaluate its interior fit-out and test its chassis and powertrain dynamics in conditions designed to highlight any shortcomings.

    I am an Uber driver with a Polestar 2, and I had the pleasure of driving 300 miles on snowy/ice-rain streets over a weekend, and it was a pleasure. We don't get too my snow storms here, so I was anxious to test out if it's ability on the snow lived up to it's reputation. It did 100 fold. I had Michelin all season tires, but it felt like nothing could stop it, and these conditions were so bad that only a handful of drivers were out that weekend, the streets were white unplowed bliss. I was sure to turn off the lane keeping mode, so it wouldn't try to correct my steering. It kept the line beautifully. I could give it full pedal, and it would smoothly get up to speed, never losing control. No oversteering or understeering issues. That weekend was the most fun I have ever had driving a car. I am thrilled to get a Polestar 3, but I may have to hold off until late 2024, when the bar battery Lyten manufacturer begins to give a massive increase to EV range with solid state Litium Sulfur Batteries, Expected average range to be 600+ miles.

    Polestar was quite appealing back in 2020 when the EV is still dominated by Tesla Model S & X, but today, the competitive environment has changed, and they really need to reduce their pricing to remain competitive.

    Priced one up yesterday. Not even the most expensive model or all boxes ticked. Still ended up as AU$178k on road. Think I’ll wait to look at the Polestar 4. I doubt they’ll get many sales on this….theres plenty of performance models that get 0-100 in the 3-4 second mark. The nice bits over a Model Y are the electrochromatic sunroof and LiDAR/US sensors. No way spending almost double the price for those. Add to the fact there are so many aftermarket mods to do on a Tesla theres no wonder why Tesla outsells every other EV brand in every country.

    Polestar is making a huge mistake by NOT making their cars hybrids. Tesla has a lock on the market and even then there's lots of problems with their cars and their charging network. If Polestars were hybrids, like the Prius, they would sell like hotcakes. I bow to the automotive design team at Polestar. Superlative. The rear window delete on the Polestar 4 was a huge mistake, though, forcing people to rely on a digital interface at all times. The management made the wrong decision about making EVs only and it's costing them. We'll see how much longer Polestar survives because, at the moment, they are struggling. It's sad because Polestar deserves to succeed.

    Sorry but at $140-150k it is simply not worth it. EVs are already overpriced but cars like this take it to another level. It offers nothing over any other Chinese made EV other than better performance. Driving on prepared ice surfaces provides no real world evaluation. Any car would be fun on a track like that 😀 I just can’t see the value? Save $50k and buy a sub $100k ICE performance car if that is what you want. They are out there 😊
