Although the Polestar 3 was introduced in October 2022, production didn’t start until last month when the first cars rolled off the assembly line in China. The EV will also be made from the middle of the year in South Carolina. Meanwhile, Volvo’s sub-brand is releasing pricing details for the US where the math starts at $74,800 after factoring in the $1,400 destination fee.
All 2025 Polestar 3 flavors sold in the US have dual motors, all-wheel drive, and a 111-kWh battery pack that can be DC charged at up to 250 kW. The base model has a combined output of 489 horsepower and 620 pound-feet of torque, enough for a 0-60 mph run in five seconds flat. Performance versions up the power ante to 517 hp and 671 lb-ft to achieve a sprint time of 4.7 seconds.
| Version | Drivetrain | Battery Capacity | Maximum Charging Speed | Estimated Combined Range (EPA) | Horsepower | Torque | 0-60 MPH | Price (including destination) |
| Long Range Dual Motor with Pilot Pack | AWD | 111 kWh | 250 kW | 315 miles | 489 hp | 620 lb-ft | 5.0 seconds | $74,800 |
| Long Range Dual Motor with Pilot Pack and Plus Pack | AWD | 111 kWh | 250 kW | 315 miles | 489 hp | 620 lb-ft | 5.0 seconds | $80,300 |
| Long Range Dual Motor with Pilot Pack and Performance Pack | AWD | 111 kWh | 250 kW | 279 miles | 517 hp | 671 lb-ft | 4.7 seconds | $80,800 |
| Long Range Dual Motor with Pilot Pack, Plus Pack, and Performance Pack | AWD | 111 kWh | 250 kW | 279 miles | 517 hp | 671 lb-ft | 4.7 seconds | $86,300 |
As for the packages, the Plus Pack gets you 21-inch wheels, heated rear seats, and a 1,610-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 25 speakers and an air subwoofer. Polestar covers the seats in “bio-attributed MicroTech or animal welfare wool seats.” The Performance Pack not only adds extra oomph via software tuning but also sweetens the pot with 22-inch forged wheels, chassis tweaks, and gold accents.
Getting the Performance version means you’re ok with a significant drop in efficiency since the range goes down by 36 miles compared to a regular Polestar 3. Regardless of the model you go for, all of them qualify for a Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive of $7,500 on lease transactions.
