Interior upgrades
Head-up display
Essential driving information like speed, warnings, and turn-by-turn navigation is graphically displayed in the driver’s field of view, using a special coating on the windscreen. The advanced projection technology ensures excellent visibility regardless of light conditions.
Interior upgrades
Infrared windscreen
A special coating allows the infrared windscreen to filter out the infrared waves of sunlight and reflect them back into the atmosphere. This lowers the experienced cabin temperature up to 3.3 ºC and reduces energy demand from the climate control system.
Interior upgrades
Acoustic lower rear window
The upgraded lower rear window is made of the same laminated acoustic glass as the other windows. A special noise-reducing layer helps make the Polestar 3 cabin even quieter.
Interior upgrades
Foldable load floor
To prevent objects from moving around, the cargo floor has a lid that folds up to support items like grocery bags and packages. It can keep them in place, either standing or hanging from hooks.
Comfort upgrades
Heated rear seats, steering wheel, and wiper blades
Adding to the comfort of the heated front seats, the heated steering wheel and rear seats make the Polestar 3 interior an even more welcoming environment. The heated front wiper blades prevent washer fluid from freezing and ensure optimal visibility in winter weather.
Comfort upgrades
Air quality
The air quality system includes a particulate matter sensor, detecting unwanted particles as small as 2.5 micrometres. Its interior filter removes 99.9% of pollen, and 95% of virus, dust and pollution particles, exchanging all 3,000 litres of cabin air every minute.
Comfort upgrades
Power-operated steering column
Power-operated controls allow the driver to adjust the steering column to achieve the right height and reach. The preferred position can be saved in the driver profile, to avoid having to make adjustments again after sharing the car.
Comfort upgrades
Soft-close doors
Push a door lightly, and the soft-close sensors will detect it. When it touches the locking mechanism, an electric motor takes over and gently pulls the door shut.
Nappa upgrade
The luxury Nappa upgrade comprises perforated Nappa leather upholstery from Bridge of Weir, Black ash deco, and front seats with five massage modes, powered side support, and ventilation.
Interior upgrades
Perforated Nappa leather
Our Nappa upholstery is produced according to strict animal welfare and quality standards by renowned automotive leather makers Bridge of Weir. It is available in three colours: Zinc, Charcoal, or Jupiter.
Interior upgrades
Seat ventilation
The front seat ventilation system uses fans inside the seat base and backrest to push air through the upholstery, adding comfort in warmer weather.
Interior upgrades
Massage function and powered side support
Both front seats include a massage function with wave, upper back, lumbar, and spot massage modes, and individual controls. They also come with powered side support, providing even more comfort on longer journeys.
Interior upgrades
Black ash deco
Black ash deco gets its unique look by staining the physical wood structure, rather than selecting a veneer with a particular pattern or colour shift. This approach reduces material waste without compromising the aesthetic.
Pro pack
Add a touch of performance design to Polestar 3 with the Pro pack, combining Swedish gold exterior and interior accents with 21-inch Pro wheels.
21” Pro wheels
Echoing the geometric forms of the car, the 21-inch Pro alloy wheels accentuate the sleek, aerodynamic design of Polestar 3. The wheel surface is diamond cut to obtain the signature look and high-quality finish.
Pilot pack
The Pilot pack further elevates the driver assistance capabilities of Polestar 3. Upgrades include Pilot Assist, Lane change assist, and 360º camera with 3D view.
Pilot Assist
Pilot Assist keeps the car centred in the driving lane at speeds up to 150 km/h (where legally permitted). The system monitors the distance to the lane markings and the traffic ahead, making gentle speed and steering adjustments to maintain a safe position.
Lane change assist
When Pilot Assist is active, Polestar 3 can also change lanes automatically. Moving the indicator stalk fully up or down initiates the manoeuvre, and the car will only proceed if the system’s sensors indicate it’s safe.
360º camera with 3D view
The onboard software can use the front- and rear-view cameras, as well as both door mirror cameras, to create a bird’s-eye or 3D view of the car on the centre display. It helps the driver to notice obstacles close to Polestar 3 and manoeuvre in tight spaces.
Pilot pack with LiDAR
This upgrade adds three extra high-resolution cameras and Luminar’s advanced LiDAR system to the Pilot pack. It can create a 3D understanding of the car’s surroundings, further advancing the driver assistance capabilities of Polestar 3.
Available to order mid-2025.
LiDAR from Luminar
By scanning the environment with its laser, the LiDAR system can recreate it in 3D, allowing Polestar 3 to recognise the landscape, obstacles, and traffic movements. It’s capable of identifying objects up to 250 metres away, even in darkness and poor weather conditions.
Additional NVIDIA core computer
As part of the LiDAR upgrade, Polestar 3 is fitted with an additional NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ core computer. With a capacity of 254 trillion operations per second, it is more than capable of processing the data needed for advanced driver assistance functions.
Additional cameras
The Pilot pack with LiDAR includes three extra high-resolution cameras to enhance the car’s forward and rearward vision. A long-range camera is added to the SmartZone, while two shorter-range cameras are placed in the door mirror arms, complementing the standard surround view cameras.
Camera cleaning
All three additional cameras come with automatic camera cleaning, helping to keep them free of water and dirt.
Single options
