Highlights
Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor
Leaving the US — the Commerce Department denied Polestar a Connected Vehicle Rule exemption (June 2026) because it's majority-owned by China's Geely, barring new MY2027+ US sales. This is an ownership/connected-software ban, NOT a tariff: the Polestar 3 is built in South Carolina and is still barred. MY2026-and-earlier inventory sells through and service continues; Polestar is refocusing on Europe. Premium SUV with 342 mi range, 111 kWh battery, and Volvo safety platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the 2025 Polestar 3 cost?
Polestar has discontinued the Polestar 3. Its last MSRPs ran from $68,900 to $80,800 across the 3 configurations in our database, before destination, tax and options. Leftover new stock and used cars are priced by the seller, so expect prices to differ.
What is the range of the 2025 Polestar 3?
The Polestar 3 offers EPA-estimated range between 279 and 342 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.
How fast does the Polestar 3 accelerate 0-60 mph?
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.
How long does the Polestar 3 take to DC fast-charge?
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 typically takes 7–11 hours depending on the battery pack size. Level 1 (standard 120V outlet) is impractical for most owners — about 3–5 days for a full charge.
Is the Polestar 3 available with all-wheel drive?
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.
How many people does the Polestar 3 seat?
The Polestar 3 seats 5.
Does the 2025 Polestar 3 qualify for a federal EV tax credit?
No. The federal Clean Vehicle Credit (IRC §30D) expired on September 30, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — no new EVs purchased on or after October 1, 2025 qualify. State incentives remain available: see our /deals page for current rebates in California, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and other states. 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.
How long will the Polestar 3 battery last?
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 and 80–85% at 200,000 miles — comfortably above the 70% State-of-Health threshold most manufacturer battery warranties guarantee. The Polestar 3 comes with a battery warranty (typically 8–10 years / 100,000+ miles) that covers defects and excessive capacity loss during that window.
The 2025Polestar 3 is a midsize electric suv that Polestar has discontinued. Its last MSRP started at $68,900 across 3 trims up to $80,800, with up to 342 miles of EPA-estimated range and a 4.5-second 0-60 mph time with available all-wheel drive. DC fast charging can add significant range in as little as 30 minutes.
With 21 cubic feet of cargo space and seating for up to 5, the Polestar 3 is now mostly bought as leftover stock or used, so check the battery health and remaining warranty on the exact car.
