Following its official reveal late last year, Polestar recently brought its first EV SUV - the Polestar 3 - to New York City for its North American debut. However, while it shares the same underlying platform as the Volvo EX90, Polestar has adjusted its design to create what might be the best-looking new EV slated to go on sale in 2023. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take it for a drive, but we were able to get a closer look at its styling and some of the fancy tech and features the Polestar will have when it starts hitting the road later this year in Q4.

Beside the impressive battery and charging specs, I appreciate the charge port placement! You can easily take advantage of the supercharger network here in Europe as it uses CCS as well! Without blocking other stalls, that is! I’ve seen things get a little heated when people in the Netherlands kept pulling up to a charger only for one extra stall to be blocked by a Skoda Enyaq due to its passenger-side port and Tesla’s short supercharger cables. I just wish the network were fully opened up, so you can reliably navigate to any supercharger and expect to be able to charge, rather than the current state, where it’s between 10 and 90% of the locations depending on the country here….

@suvann540i Год назад

polestar has already targeted porsche in regards to their closest customer demographic. from that standpoint, pricing is in line with what they're asking for. I think we are starting to look at cars differently now that BEVs are growing in popularity. I'll put it this way, we'll look at the model y and polestar 3 in this this scenario. To me, the model y is an appliance. it gets you from point a to point b. It isn't very luxurious. It doesn't really invoke any emotions. It's just a fantastic tool for a family. Polestar is NOT trying to be a tool. it's basically an object of lust. My head says model y all day every day. but my heart wants to put a deposit down on the polestar 3.

I mean the performance Teslas, including the Model Y, have pretty insane acceleration which involves emotion in a lot of people lol. The performance Polestar 3 is basically as fast as the regular LR Model Y. If these two cars were the same price I’d lean Polestar, but the $84k starting price is killer. No tax credit either unlike the Model Y.

@windowman9665 Год назад

I’m really hoping the true range is better than the current estimates. I would prefer it to be minimum 500Km for the performance, rather than the estimated 434km. Main reason is winter range lose.

@lionjklwlf Год назад

Drove the PS2 several times. Caught a lot of people off guard on the road with its acceleration, speed, handle and looks, including the Tesla guys 😂 I was truly impressed with the handling and going around curves at higher speeds than compared to Tesla. And the sound system was much better also. Only thing I didn’t like was the charging. Takes twice as long as a Tesla. Hope they fix that in the newer models.

@MattCasters Год назад

It's worse than twice as long since the efficiency of the Polestar is a lot lower compared to the Tesla model Y. If we're talking about charging speed it's fair to say that kW and kWh are meaningless. You want to look at how many miles/km you can charge in a certain period of time. I think 20-25 minutes is a fair timeframe. The low efficiency of the Polestar really hurts that number.

@lionjklwlf Год назад

@@MattCasters yea it’s brutal. Drove one way for about 90 miles and I needed to recharge to come back home or risk been on the side of the road. Hopefully they addressed the battery issues in the newer model.

@benjaminsmith2287 Год назад

Do you think the build quality/solidity is higher in Volvo or Tesla? This car has the same build quality as Volvo since it is essentially sharing mostly Volvo parts and tech. Yes, Tesla has the charging infrastructure but Polestar has racing heritage so building a car with handling feel is in their DNA. This car will feel substantially different than a Tesla. And the Tesla X is more expensive and this car is more comparable to an X than a Y, which is a more downmarket car than the Polestar 3.

@DJPeterLo Год назад

Tesla is opening up its charging infrastructure. It’s becoming less of a competitive advantage. About a year ago, I thought I was going to buy a model y or 3. After test driving them and the polestar 2, the 2 was just way more fun to drive. On paper the Teslas out performed by a significant margin, but the overall experience was nicer on the polestar 2.

@tren133 Год назад

@@DJPeterLo The Polestar 2 refresh is pretty significant too, since it now has enhanced efficiency and range, and also the base 2 wheel drive model is moving from FWD to RWD, so that should make it a nice cheaper but still sporty option as well.

Tesla isn’t a better deal, and their charging network is no longer exclusive either.

@mybro727 Год назад

This is really nice, but it has honestly been a struggle finding a more uniquely designed, better executed, and overall superiorly packaged EV than the Cadillac Lyriq _especially_ for the price point ($65k). The Cadillac Lyriq is the new standard for the segment IMO.

@suvann540i Год назад

have they started shipping them yet? the local dealer said that they were supposed to have had it a month or two ago but nothing yet.

@MissMiaFit Год назад

To use words as superior and better executed, when the two cars havent been compared yet, or even is out on the streets yet, is kind of... Blah.

@tren133 Год назад

Lyriq is at a decent price point in the US, but GM is also trying to sell it for $65k in China, and no one is buying them, since there are plenty of competitive luxury SUVs on the Chinese market at that price and lower. For instance the Lyriq is being outsold 10 to 1 right now by Li Auto's L8 and L9 models, which are 3 row luxury SUVs which actually cost less than the Caddy. And Li just launched their actual Lyriq competitor, the 2 row Li L7, which starts at $45k, a full 20k less than the Lyriq. It is quite likely that by this time next month, Li Auto will be outselling the Lyriq at a 30 to 1 ratio.

@mybro727 Год назад

@@MissMiaFit Well the Lyriq is on the streets and arriving at dealers as we speak. A car doesn’t have to be on the streets in order to see the design or the way the manufacturer packaged it to sell. All mute points there.

@@tren133 Lyriq being “outsold” is laughable as GM hasn’t gotten production anywhere near the scale it will be soon so it _should_ be outsold right now since they’re just now arriving to dealers and folks are still getting their debut editions shipped out.

How does it compare with Tesla?

@joewilson4436 Год назад

All EV compacg SUVs will end up being compared to the Tesla Model Y, but that's a relatively cheap feeling, spartan car compared to the Volvo C40/XC40 or Polestar 2/3. You don't even get an instrument cluster in a Tesla unless you splurge for the X or S. Taking your eyes off the road to see the speedometer or nav is not fun. Overall, the cheaper Teslas (3 & Y) don't compare to the excellent driving experience that you get from Volvo or Polestar. Kia/Hyunda, Ford, VW, and the rest don't feel anywhere near as nice to drive either in my opinion. That said, I don't think the P3 offers all that much over the C40, other than the range of course. Though it is disappointing that the P3 isn't getting at least 350 miles with a battery that big. Volvo milage ratings tend to be conservative vs other EVs though, so I would expect real world figures to be respectable.
