Overview
- Polestar moves the flagship SUV to an 800‑volt platform with peak DC rates up to 350 kW (310 kW on Rear Motor), trimming 10–80% charge times to roughly 22 minutes and lifting WLTP efficiency by up to 6%.
- New CATL battery packs debut: 92 kWh for Rear Motor and 106 kWh for Dual Motor and Performance, replacing the prior 111 kWh pack and yielding WLTP ranges of 375 miles (Rear Motor), 394 miles (Dual Motor), and 368 miles (Performance).
- A new in‑house rear motor pairs with an asynchronous front unit featuring automatic disconnect, raising output to as much as 500 kW (~680 hp) in Performance for a 0–60 mph time of about 3.8 seconds, alongside suspension and steering refinements.
- Nvidia DRIVE AGX Orin (254 TOPS) replaces the Xavier computer (30 TOPS), with Polestar offering a complimentary processor retrofit for existing Polestar 3 owners starting early 2026 at authorized service points.
- Trim names are simplified to Rear Motor, Dual Motor and Performance, option packs are revised, the refreshed model launches first in the UK with a listed £69,990 starting price and estimated 5–6 month delivery, and production continues in China and the US.
