Video Summary
- The Polestar 3 is an SUV that starts around $67,000 for the single motor, lowest-end version.- Higher trims with dual-motor all-wheel drive can reach into the $80,000s.
- The reviewer likes the design, finding it phenomenal.
- The SUV has a sloping, low roofline, which is lower than many competitors.
- There is functional front wing that creates downforce and smooths airflow over the top of the car.
- The rear wing is also a fully functional aero element.
- The specs (111 kWh/380 kW) are printed on the side of the car.
- Some might find the rear design piece cheesy-looking but aerodynamic, the reviewer notes.
- The thin bezels on the mirrors are a subtle but nice detail.
- The key card reader on the door handle is not where one might naturally expect.
- The interior strikes a good balance between modern minimalism and nice materials, but leans a little too minimalist.
- The car includes heated/cooled seats, but too much has been left digital.
- Only one set of window controls exists and it's not super convenient.

- The reviewer is impressed how they managed to maintain head room despite the low roofline.
- Driving the dual-motor, air suspension-equipped car is enjoyable and makes up for the large wheels.

- It's the "best car ever," with a lot of great design choices.
