Polestar 3 im Test: Der wilde Volvo-Bruder (fast) ohne Tempolimit
Im Geely-Reich steht Polestar für nordische Noblesse. Dem Polestar 3 hat die Marke zuletzt ein Update verpasst, um gegen BMW und Mercedes zu bestehen. Und das ist ganz schön aufregend.
Düsseldorf. Upon first impression, the Polestar 3 doesn't appear to offer much groundbreaking news. It resembles the first SUV of the brand introduced in 2022. Despite the Polestar maintaining a similar appearance, the automotive landscape has evolved. Competitors such as the BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC have entered the segment, prompting the question: does a 2022 model suffice to compete?
Of course not, Polestar acknowledges this fact. Therefore, they have focused on improving the model's key weaknesses. As Polestar's German CEO Michael Lohscheller explains, "The updates to the Polestar 3 are so extensive that it feels like an entirely new car." We thoroughly examined whether Lohscheller's assessment holds true. This assessment begins with an examination of the enhancements.
The Polestar recently fell behind in the fastest charging competition. While 400-volt baselines are common in the industry, many competitors' batteries now recharge more quickly, particularly in the premium segment.
