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

Düsseldorf: The first impression of the Polestar 3 reveals little that is surprising. This vehicle looks almost identical to the one that greeted the world four years ago when the brand's first SUV made its debut. Nevertheless, the automotive world has evolved. Competitors such as the BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC are pushing into this segment.

Will an automobile from 2022 suffice to hold its own in this market? Polestar certainly knows the answer is no. Therefore, they have focused on improving the model's biggest weaknesses. As Polestar's German CEO Michael Lohscheller put it, "The updates to the Polestar 3 are so extensive that it feels like an entirely new car." To determine if this assessment holds true, we have conducted an in-depth review.

The journey begins with a look at the improvements. In the race to fastest charging, the Polestar lagged behind recently. While the 400-volt base may have been industry-standard, many competitors' batteries have since become faster to recharge, especially in the premium segment.
