Polestar 3

The 2025 Polestar 3 starts at $67,500 MSRP for the 3 Long Range Single Motor and runs to $79,400 for the 3 Long Range Dual Motor Performance across the 3 configurations we track. With Polestar's $1,400 destination fee, that comes to $68,900 to $80,800 before tax, registration and options. By trim: 3 Long Range Single Motor, $67,500 ($68,900 with the destination fee); 3 Long Range Dual Motor, $73,400 ($74,800 with the destination fee); 3 Long Range Dual Motor Performance, $79,400 ($80,800 with the destination fee).

The Polestar 3 offers EPA-estimated range between 279 and 350 miles, depending on trim and wheel size. Real-world highway range at 70 mph is typically 10–15% lower than the EPA rating, and cold-weather range can drop an additional 20–30% in sub-freezing temperatures.

The Polestar 3 hits 0-60 mph in 4.5 to 7.5 seconds depending on configuration — 4.5 seconds is the quickest of the 3 configurations we track.

On a DC fast charger, the Polestar 3 goes from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes. At home on a Level 2 charger (240V), a full charge takes about 10–12 hours, depending on the trim. A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds only about 3–4 miles of range an hour (from EPA efficiency, depending on the trim), so it suits overnight top-ups rather than full charges.

Yes — the Polestar 3 is offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. RWD trims are typically less expensive and slightly more efficient; AWD trims add a second motor for better traction in snow/rain and faster acceleration.

The Section 30C EV Charger Tax Credit (for home charger installation) expired June 30, 2026 — if your charger was placed in service on or before that date, you can still claim it (30% up to $1,000) on your 2026 return via IRS Form 8911.

Real-world data from EV fleets suggests modern lithium-ion EV batteries (2020+) retain roughly 85–90% of their original capacity at 100,000 miles, above the 70% capacity floor in the Polestar 3 battery warranty, and 80–85% at 200,000 miles.

The Polestar 3 battery warranty is 8 years / 100,000 miles, with a 70% capacity floor. It covers capacity loss below that floor, and the coverage transfers to later owners. Compare it with every other EV in our EV battery warranty rankings.
