The vehicle is based on Volvo's similarly sized EX90 crossover.[11]

Overview

The Polestar 3 was officially revealed on 12 October 2022[12] and is on the same platform as the upcoming Volvo EX90 flagship SUV,[4][13][14] both of which are based on the 2021 Volvo Recharge concept.[15] The vehicle made its public debut at the April 2023 Shanghai Auto Show. Measuring 4,900 mm (193 in) long, the vehicle belongs to the British E-segment size segmentation.

Despite being similarly sized to the EX90 third-row vehicle, the 3 is exclusively a 5-seater. Trim levels include the 'Long Range' and the 'Performance Pack', similar trims to the EX90. Both trims run on the same battery.[16]

The vehicle was produced in Chengdu, Sichuan and Ridgeville, South Carolina until March 2026, when production shifted solely to the Ridgeville facility.[17]

Both models have two permanent-magnet synchronous motors, with one at each axle. The rear axle features true torque vectoring and improved economy using a rear motor disconnect clutch. Both models use a single-speed transmission, and a 111 kWh battery.
