Motor Trend
Motor Trend’s first drive of the Polestar 3 highlights its refined chassis and strong dual-motor performance, with up to 517 horsepower in the Performance pack. They note the steering is well-weighted and the brakes are confidence-inspiring, making it one of the more driver-focused SUVs in the electric segment. The cabin is described as airy and premium, with excellent build quality and a minimalist aesthetic that avoids gimmickry. However, Motor Trend points out that the estimated range of around 300 miles for the Long Range single-motor version is only average, and the 12.3-inch infotainment screen, while responsive, is heavily reliant on Google services. Real-world efficiency also suffered in testing, slightly underperforming EPA figures. The verdict: a strong luxury EV with sharp dynamics, but it faces stiff competition from the BMW iX and Mercedes EQE SUV on range and value.

Autocar
Autocar highlights the Polestar 3's impressive dynamic abilities, noting that it feels lighter than its 2.6-tonne kerb weight suggests. The adaptive suspension and precise steering make it genuinely enjoyable on B-roads, while the ride remains supple on most surfaces. The interior receives high marks for its premium presentation — Alcantara-like upholstery, minimalist dashboard, and excellent fit and finish — although rear headroom is slightly compromised by the sloping roofline. The range of 391 miles for the single-motor Long Range version is praised, but Autocar warns that towing and winter conditions will significantly reduce that figure. They also critique the optional 911-style air suspension for being over-complex and the driver assistance suite for being overly cautious in some situations. Overall, it's judged a highly desirable EV that improves on the Tesla Model Y in almost every dynamic and quality metric, but with a higher price tag.
