Video Summary
The Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor is a premium, almost luxury, electric SUV.The car has a 111 kWh battery and a 107 kWh net capacity, bigger than most cars, but is thirsty.
The car has a 400-volt architecture and supports 250 kW charging, but the reviewer hadn’t yet tested the maximum charging speed.
To get that speed, the car needs 625 amps, and chargers in the area only have 500 amp limit.
At 100% charge, the car claims 510 km of range, according to Google Maps.
Google navigation is one of the interior advantages.
The Car scanner did not work.
Google navigation is great to navigate to IONITY or supercharger locations
The car and the ABetterRoutePlanner app claim a single charge can get you from Oslo to Varberg.
The car claims it will arrive in Varberg with 15% battery, ABetterRoutePlanner says 13%.
At the Swedish border, it seemed the test car was one minute slower than a typical run; 1 hour and 20 minutes.
The soundproofing is only acceptable, with wind noise and tire noise.
There are high quality, ventilated and massaging seats.
To adjust the interior temperature you need to first click a button, then adjust with another control, one of the usability weaknesses.
The car can steer itself but this feature was initially not working.
On one test run, there was a very high consumption: 355 Wh/km with a tailwind.
There are pixel lights.
While at the charging station it was learned that the entire car weighs over 2700 kilograms.
The vehicle has acceptable sound levels and is more quiet compared to the Polestar 2.
It is considered a comfortable ride, with comfortable ventilated seats and a quality Bowers & Wilkins sound system.
It is noted that some Chinese car brands also have very good soundproofing.
There are still some issues with the software in the Polestar 3.
