This is the Polestar 3!

We've waited four years for Polestar to release the successor to the Polestar 2, and what Mat has his hands on today is an SUV that has the likes of the BMW iX, Audi Q8 e-tron & Mercedes EQE SUV in its sights! But does it have what it takes to bring them down? Let's take a closer look!

In terms of the design, the Polestar 3 looks great! Up front there's no blanked out grille, with Polestar truly embrassing the fact that this is an EV from the ground-up. The sloping roofline also helps the car stand out on the road, and to be honest, we'd be hard-pressed to find a better looking all-electric SUV out there today!

When looking at the interior, it's worth remembering that Polestar still has close ties with Volvo, so the 3 has a lot in common with the EX90. But whereas the EX90 is a seven seater, this will remain as a five seater only, so it means all passengers will have masses of room! There's also a large infotainment screen in the centre of the dash (which runs Google's operating system), and there's a set of digital dials ofr the driver. The cabin is also filled with soft touch materials, and all-in-all is a nice place to be.

All editions of the Polestar 3 come equipped with a massive 111kWh battery, and there are single and dual motor models available. The single-motor edition can produce 299hp, and costs around £70,000. There are two editions of the dual motor car - one that can produce 489hp and costs around £76,000, while the range-topping Performance Pack produces 517hp and costs around £82,000.

But what do you think - can the Polestar 3 really compete with the class-leaders? You'll need to stick with Mat for this all-new review and see for yourself!"
