NEXT STAGE: New in 2023

The midsize crossover, built on the new SPA2 all-electric platform, sports dual motors and has an estimated EPA range of up to 300 miles. It should arrive by the second half of 2024.

The Polestar 3 offers a crossover’s higher riding position but in a low-to-the-ground package designed to maximize aerodynamics. At launch, it will feature a rear-biased dual-motor powertrain and torque vectoring via a dual-clutch system on the rear electric motor.

The debut model delivers 483 hp with an optional Performance Pack that provides an additional 27 hp. The vehicle’s CATL-made battery, composed of 204 prismatic cells packed into 17 modules, promises 107 kilowatt-hours of usable power.

The crossover will also be Polestar’s first U.S.-built model. Production at Volvo’s Ridgeville, S.C., factory begins next summer, according to AutoForecast Solutions.
