After the launch of the Polestar 1 and 2, the electric arm of Volvo has taken the wraps off the Polestar 3. It is the first SUV from Polestar and goes up against the likes of the Tesla Model X, BMW iX, Audi E-Tron and Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV.

2023 Polestar 3 — Design

The new Polestar 3 carries design cues from existing Polestar EVs with a pinch of SUV characteristics. It gets a tall bonnet that sweeps down and merges with the enclosed grille. The LED headlights get the new implementation of the ‘Thor’s Hammer’ design and gives the Polestar 3 a unique appeal. While the side profile seems inspired by the XC40 Recharge, the rear of the Polestar 3 seems unlike any other Volvo on sale currently thanks to its connected LED tail light setup.
