Polestar has confirmed that the all-electric 3 will debut this October and take the form of a premium performance SUV. The Polestar 3 will follow in the footsteps of the 2 as the automaker’s second EV built from the ground up and was first teased late last year. Polestar chief executive Thomas Ingenlath confirmed its debut during the brand’s latest financial earnings report.
U.S. production of the vehicle will be
handled by Volvo’s factory in Charleston, South Carolina alongside the next-generation
XC90. Teaser images released of the Polestar 3 reveal that it will have a low,
crossover-like design and perhaps look even more dynamic than the Polestar 2.
One of the most striking aspects of the SUV will be the Thor’s Hammer
headlights as well as the stylish front fascia. The 3 will also land with a set
of dynamic-looking wheels and have a steeply raked shoulder line that flows up
to a spoiler over the rear window.
While many technical aspects of the
Polestar 3 remain under wraps, we do know that it will be offered in single and
dual electric motor guises. The car manufacturer has also revealed that the 3
will sport advanced autonomous highway driving technology that uses a LiDAR
sensor with Luminar and Nvidia computing power.
Polestar is working on at least two other
models, the 4 and 5. The 4 will land in 2023 and be positioned as a smaller
electric performance SUV coupe while the Polestar 5 will hit the market in 2024
as a four-door GT.
