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

Düsseldorf: Upon first glance, the Polestar 3 does not appear to have made many surprising changes. The vehicle appears to be the same as the first SUV unveiled by the brand in 2022. However, the automotive landscape has evolved significantly since then. Competitors such as the BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC are pushing into this market segment.

Polestar knows this and has focused on improving the car's most significant weaknesses. As Michael Lohscheller, the German Polestar chief, puts it: "The updates to the Polestar 3 are so extensive that it feels like a completely new car." We have thoroughly examined whether these claims hold true. This begins with an assessment of the updates.

In the race to fast charging, Polestar lagged slightly behind last time. While the 400-volt standard was perhaps industry-standard, premium segment competitors' batteries are now capable of recharging much faster.
