Polestar 3 is the brand’s large premium electric SUV for Australia, combining a spacious five-seat cabin, strong towing capability and up to 647 km of WLTP range with a chassis tuned to feel more agile than its size suggests. The current Australian range spans a more efficient Rear motor, a Dual motor all-wheel-drive model and a high-output Performance version with up to 500 kW, while the latest 800-volt electrical architecture supports DC charging at up to 350 kW. For buyers who want a full-size premium EV with genuine family space, a 23.8-litre front storage compartment, advanced Google-based technology and a strong emphasis on ride and handling, Polestar 3 is the most conventional SUV in the Polestar range without losing the brand’s minimalist design identity.

Polestar 3 is the company’s large electric SUV and is positioned as the most family-oriented model in the Australian range. Its proportions are substantial, but the design avoids the upright, boxy look of many large SUVs by using integrated aero elements at the front and rear. A long wheelbase and widely spaced seating rows create a generous cabin, while the full-length panoramic roof adds light and visual space. Unlike the coupe-like Polestar 4, the Polestar 3 retains a conventional rear window and tailgate, making it the more familiar choice for buyers moving from a traditional premium SUV.
The current Australian range includes Rear motor, Dual motor and Performance configurations. Polestar Australia quotes range of up to 647 km, with power rising to as much as 500 kW in the Performance model. The Rear motor and Dual motor use more comfort-focused passive suspension, while Performance gains dual-chamber active air suspension and Polestar Engineered chassis calibration. The range is designed to offer a clear choice between efficiency, all-wheel-drive capability and outright performance rather than forcing every buyer into the same high-output setup.
The latest Polestar 3 electrical architecture is a major strength. Polestar lists an 800-volt system and up to 350 kW DC charging, giving the SUV the ability to replenish energy quickly when connected to a suitable high-power charger. For Australian touring, this matters because the combination of long range and high charging speed can reduce the time penalty associated with longer interstate EV trips. Home charging remains straightforward through standard Type 2 AC infrastructure.
Inside, Polestar 3 is focused on five-seat comfort rather than seven-seat capacity. Front seats are electrically adjustable and heated, while optional upgrades add more adjustment, ventilation and massage. Three-zone climate control is standard, and a heat pump helps improve energy efficiency in cooler conditions. The infotainment system is based on Android Automotive OS with Google services integrated, and wireless phone charging plus multiple USB-C ports are provided. A Bowers & Wilkins sound system is available for buyers who prioritise audio quality.
Practicality is strong. The rear luggage area is broad and easy to access through a power-operated soft-close tailgate, and a 23.8-litre front storage compartment provides additional room for charging cables and smaller items. The vehicle can also be equipped with a fully automatic towbar, making Polestar 3 one of the more versatile premium electric SUVs. Depending on specification, wheel sizes range from 20 to 22 inches, and buyers should expect the larger Performance wheels to trade some comfort and efficiency for sharper responses and stronger visual presence.
For Australian buyers comparing BMW iX, Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, Audi Q8 e-tron, Volvo EX90 and other premium electric SUVs, Polestar 3 offers a distinctive blend of minimalist design, strong performance and advanced charging technology. Its main disadvantages are price, weight and the fact that several premium comfort and driver-assistance features sit in optional packs. Buyers who value range and efficiency should look closely at the Rear motor, while drivers wanting all-weather traction or stronger acceleration will prefer the Dual motor or Performance.
