Extending the range
Range-optimizing tools like the range assistant app, pre-entry climate control, and the energy-saving heat pump give the driver multiple options for extending Polestar 3's range.
Energy-saving heat pump
Waste heat doesn't have to be wasted heat. The heat pump warms up the cabin and preserves charge for more time on the road by making use of run-off thermal energy from the electric motors, battery, and ambient air.
Charging
Polestar 3 is compatible with a variety of public charging points. Along the highway, rapid DC charging stations can recharge the battery in the time it takes to get lunch and a coffee. AC chargers often found at hotels, in city centers, and at the office are better suited to longer stays.
Public charging from 10-80%*
Home charging from 0 to 100%*
*Figures based on 250 kW DC fast charging and 11 kW AC charging.
All- or rear-wheel drive
The Polestar 3's all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive system is tuned for optimal driver engagement. The advanced electronic all-wheel drive system constantly adapts to road conditions and can disconnect the rear motor to extend the car's range.
Performance or range modes
The dual motor version of Polestar 3 allows the driver to optimize the powertrain for either maximum power or efficiency by selecting the “performance” or “range” mode. The latter enables more frequent disengagement of the rear motor to go the extra mile(s).

Suspension
Polestar 3's suspensions are defined by perfectly balanced comfort and performance dynamics. The active air suspension delivers a truly adaptive drive by adjusting ride height via sensor input, while the BWI passive dampers keep the driving experience nimble and comfortable.
Active air suspension
The Polestar 3 Long range Dual motor's dual chamber active air suspension enhances the handling and ride quality by adapting to sensor input 500 times a second and providing different settings. The system also lowers the ride height at speed to reduce aerodynamic drag.
Passive dampers
The Polestar 3 Long range Single motor is fitted with ultramodern, BWI sophisticated passive dampers. Add-on valves such as the hydraulic rebound stops (HRS) and frequency selective damping (FSD) impart a fine balance of ride comfort and handling.
True torque vectoring
The Polestar 3 Long range Dual motor features a computer-controlled torque vectoring system that monitors for wheelspin and actively redistributes power to the wheel with more grip. This results in faster acceleration, higher cornering speeds, and better traction on slippery surfaces.
22-inch Performance wheels
The 22-inch Performance wheels are forged instead of cast using a manufacturing technique rooted in motorsport. Lighter and stronger than conventional alloy wheels and shod with custom-developed Pirelli P Zero tires, they ensure excellent handling and road contact.
Available as an upgrade with Performance pack.
Brembo brakes
Standard on every Polestar 3, the high-performance Brembo brakes benefit from decades of competition experience and a long-time collaboration with Polestar. The ventilated discs and four-piston aluminum front calipers offer increased rigidity and quick response at any temperature.
Swedish gold brakes available as an upgrade with Performance pack.
