Polestar 3 support

Polestar 3 premieres a new aerodynamic profile where a strong focus has been placed on retaining the hallmarks of an SUV, including a powerful and wide stance. This has been led by subtle yet effective aerodynamic optimisation, including a front aero wing that is integrated into the bonnet, an aero wing that is integrated into the rear spoiler, and rear aero blades. This is all encapsulated with a low roof line that brings the efficency the SUV for the electric age requires.

Our new aerodynamic electric performance SUV, Polestar 3, will be manufactured in Ridgeville, South Carolina and in a production centre in Chengdu, China. Having production taking place on two continents allows us to better supply our key markets.

Polestar 3 is based on Volvo Cars’ new technology base that is shared with the Volvo EX90 and is the first car to be built on this platform. We are also working closely with Volvo Cars on the computing unit they are developing for the NVIDIA DRIVE system-on-chip. The technology enables integration with the ADAS software from Zenseact, which will be used in Polestar 3. Our collaboration with Volvo Cars remains strong, but with Polestar 3, we begin to diverge more on the design, dynamics and performance of our cars. And while these cars sit on the same platform they are very different. Polestar 3 is a true Performance luxury SUV and appeals to a different audience.

Launch timings can differ between markets. The upgraded Polestar 3 is initially launched in the UK due to high demand and being sold out of previous model year in that market. Other markets are expected to follow starting in first quarter of 2026.

The integrated front aero wing improves the laminar airflow over the front of the body. The rear wing maintains the laminar flow, which reduces the turbulent wake behind the car and improves rear axle stability.

The aero blades on each side of the rear of the car improve airflow at the rear and behind the car, while also standing out as a design statement. The Polestar 3 is a high-sided vehicle and the active air suspension available works in harmony with these aerodynamic features to lower the car at highway speeds.

"This refers to leather that we source from a supplier that complies with strict requirements on the welfare of the animals, both from industry bodies and ourselves. Our requirements are based on the so-called Five Freedoms e.g. freedom from hunger and thirst. The supplier is Bridge of Weir in Scotland. Bridge of Weir sources raw hides locally from responsible suppliers with 100% traceability, as certified by Leather Working Group. You can read more here, at bridgeofweirleather.com/sustainable-sourcing.

When we source leather, we also include other strict sustainability requirements such as:

- Traceability: first down to the slaughterhouse and then down to farm level.
- Origin: leather cannot come from areas with deforestation risk, such as the Amazon rainforest.
- Environmental practices: for example, the tanning process must be chrome-free.
The leather in our vehicles is of the highest standard and renowned in the industry as state of the art. "

Two cameras mounted on the dashboard monitor the driver’s eyes. The driver's eye movements are tracked for signs of distraction, drowsiness/sleep, or distress. Visual and audio warnings are triggered depending on what the system detects. These signs can even be detected if the driver is wearing a pair of glasses. If necessary, an emergency stop procedure can be initiated to safely stop the car, and an emergency distress signal can also be issued to alert emergency services to a detected problem. The cameras operate on a closed-loop system, meaning no data is stored or shared beyond the car and its safety systems.

Polestar 3 comes with Pilot Assist in the Pilot Pack to provide advanced driver assistance at speeds up to 150 km/h. Safety, for passengers and other road users, is the primary focus when activating these systems. When Pilot Assist is active, Polestar 3 can also change lanes with lane change assist. 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 you can see this by arrows left and right showing on the yellow Pilot assist steering wheel. This is called Lane change assist and is included in Pilot pack.

Polestar 3

ACC -180 km/h (110 mph)

Pilot Assist - 150 km/h (90 mph)

Please note that these features are classed as assist features and it is still the driver’s receptibility to remain in control of the vehicle. 

Please contact your local importer for further assistance.

As the technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, we strive to improve our platforms and products as soon as it is technically possible – in line with our promise to continuously improve our cars. From model year 2026, Polestar 3 will be delivered with the new more powerful NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin processor, which will bring with it even greater computing power. This hardware upgrade will also be offered to all existing Polestar 3 customers as a complimentary upgrade. The upgrading of existing Polestar 3 vehicles is planned to start in the beginning of 2026. Customers will be contacted when the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin processor is available to be fitted and it’s time to book an appointment at a Polestar authorised service point.
