Polestar 3: Singapore’s Upcoming Mega‑Electric SUV Set to Debut in Late 2023

Polestar Unveils its Bold New SUV: The Polestar 3

New electric beast on the horizon: Polestar, the Swedish electric‑car champion, is rolling out its next flagship, the Polestar 3. This is no tiny hatchback—it’s a full‑size SUV, the size of a BMW X5 or a Porsche Cayenne, ready to turn heads on the road.

When and Where?

  • Global launch set for October.
  • Production kicks off early 2023.
  • The first Singapore deliveries are expected later this year.

Singapore’s SUV Fever

Polestar’s arrived in Singapore last year with the sleek Polestar 2 sedan. Now, the Polestar 3 aims to take the luxury market by storm. If you’re buying in Singapore, you’ll be paying a punchy price tag—think close to the BMW iX’s $400,000 (COE included).

Why It Matters

Electric luxury is the buzz of the future, and Polestar is poised to become a significant player. The Polestar 3 stands as the brand’s second entrance in Singapore, promising performance, style, and that electric feel all wrapped up in one big, polished SUV.

Polestar’s New Project? A Mystery on Wheels

Guess what? Polestar only gave us a taste of the future. From a naked, no‑camouflage photo and a quick teaser video, we only know about the big picture—the arrival date and a dual‑motor setup. No specs, no demos, just the classic “keep it simple” Polestar style.

What We Do Know

  • Dual‑motor drivetrain. Think dual‑hashtag power.
  • “Large battery” aiming for over 600 km on WLTP. That’s the cutting‑edge range benchmark.
  • Based on the Polestar 2, we expect at least 400 hp and roughly a 100 kWh battery pack.

Why 400 hp is the “sweet spot”

Polestar 2’s Dual‑Motor Long Range already clocks a cool 402 hp and a 480 km WLTP range from its 75 kWh pack. So if Polestar 3 keeps that rocking spirit, we’re looking at a serious twin‑turbo swoop—plus an extended battery to hit that 600‑km target.

Bottom line: Reducing mystery isn’t on Polestar’s agenda yet, but the rumble‑worthy powertrain and ambitious range make the wait interesting.

Polestar 3: The Road to Full Autonomy

The latest buzz from Polestar is that the Polestar 3 is gearing up for driver‑less cruising. The team has tucked a top‑tier LiDAR sensor from Luminar into the setup, and the brain behind the wheel is a centralized NVIDIA computing hub.

Why This Matters

  • Luminar’s LiDAR – The Swiss‑knife of sensors that trims out blind spots and gives the car a precise 360° view.
  • NVIDIA’s Central Processing – Think of it as a supercharged brain that crunches data fast enough to keep the car safe while you relax.
  • Enhanced Active Safety – With this combo, the Polestar 3 will surely keep its safety record in check, staying true to its Volvo pedigree.

So, whether you’re a tech aficionado or just love a good safety upgrade, the Polestar 3’s move into autonomous readiness is a win for everyone.

Polestar 3: The Coupe‑SUV That’s All About Flair

Polestar is steering the 3 toward a bold, sporty identity. The cabin’s styling screams “coup‑SUV”: lower stance, a sleek sloping roofline, and darker-out fenders that cut a certain edge.

Key Design Highlights

  • Front and Rear Lights – Polestar’s signature glow that pops even from a distance.
  • Distinct aerodynamics with a jaunty channel across the nose, adding a hint of futuristic swagger.

What We Can See

The wheel arches frame large golden brake calipers, a golden announcement that the Performance Pack is ready to roll—just like on Polestar 2.

Polestar 3: The Electric SUV That’s All About Sports

Polestar’s CEO Thomas Ingenlath recently said, “Polestar 3 is the SUV for the electric age. Our design identity evolves with this high‑end large luxury EV, with a strong, individual brand character. With this car, we bring the ‘sport’ back to the SUV, staying true to our performance roots.

What Makes the Polestar 3 Stand Out?

  • Built on the SPA2 platform: The same robust architecture that powers Volvo’s latest lineup.
  • Performance‑first design: Think sleek lines, a dynamic stance, and a feeling that every drive is a race.
  • Purely electric: Zero emissions, zero guilt, all the thrill.
  • Future‑ready engineering: Shares many mechanical parts with the upcoming fully‑electric Volvo XC90.

Why the Polestar 3 Is a Game‑Changer

Polestar isn’t just dropping an SUV; it’s redefining what an electric luxury vehicle can feel like. It’s the kind of car that makes you want to shout, “Hey, I’m driving the future!” While keeping its brand personality sharp and unmistakable, the Polestar 3 genuinely proves that “sporty” isn’t a word reserved for sports cars only.

Looking Ahead: The Upcoming Volvo XC90

Polestar’s sibling, the next‑generation Volvo XC90, will also ride on the SPA2 platform and share many of the Polestar 3’s mechanical goodies, but it will keep Volvo’s signature safety and comfort. Together, these cars are a testament to how brands can stay true to their roots while embracing electrification.

In short, the Polestar 3 is proving that electric SUVs can be fast, fancy, and fun—all at once.

Polestar’s Road to a 10‑Fold Future

After carving out a name with the sleek Polestar 3, the brand is rolling out the Polestar 4 in 2023, followed by the grand‑touring Polestar 5. The Polestar 5—a four‑door luxury GT—first teased its existence in the posture‑setting Polestar Precept concept.

What the Expansion Means for Polestar

  • From a modest 29,000 cars in 2021
  • To a bold 290,000 on the road by 2025
  • Every new model is a move toward that ambitious target

2023‑2025 Roadmap Highlights

Polestar 4 arrives in 2023, adding a fresh silhouette to the lineup.
• The Polestar 5 hits the scene in 2025, aimed at luxury buyers who crave high‑performance styling and electric elegance.

Why the Numbers Matter

Polestar’s tenfold expansion isn’t just a flashy headline—it signals a commitment to electrifying the mainstream, redefining luxury, and outpacing the competition. With each new model, the brand expands its ecosystem, fuels brand loyalty, and sweetens the electric future for consumers worldwide.
