Polestar 3 im Test: Der wilde Volvo-Bruder (fast) ohne Tempolimit

Düsseldorf – The unveiling of the Polestar 3 reveals little that is surprising, as it appears almost identical to the first SUV the brand introduced in 2022. Despite the car's unchanged appearance, the automobile world has evolved significantly. Competitors such as the BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC are pushing into the segment. Does a four-year-old vehicle suffice to compete in this space?

Polestar certainly knows this. Therefore, they have focused on addressing the model's biggest weaknesses. As Michael Lohscheller, the German Polestar boss, puts it, "The updates to the Polestar 3 are so extensive that it feels like a completely new car." We have thoroughly examined whether Lohscheller is correct. The process begins with a look at the enhancements.

One area where the Polestar has been lagging is fast charging, trailing behind competitors in the premium segment.
