2025 Polestar 3 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Polestar 3 is a five-passenger electric SUV available in three trim levels: Long Range Single Motor, Long Range Dual Motor and Long Range Dual Motor Performance. As its name suggests, the Single Motor version uses a single motor positioned at the rear axle, giving this version rear-wheel drive. The other trims are all-wheel-drive and use one motor to drive each axle. A Launch Edition trim will be offered this year, but it doesn't offer any original content.

The Long Range Single Motor has 299 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque. The Long Range Dual Motor trim has 489 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque, while the Performance trim offers 517 horsepower and 671 lb-ft of torque. All come with a 111-kWh battery and will charge from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes on a 250-kW charger. Polestar estimates the Single Motor version can travel up to 350 miles on a single charge, while the standard Dual Motor 3 can travel up to 315 miles. The Dual Motor Performance version offers 279 miles of range.

The Long Range Single Motor's features were not available at the time of publication, as this trim launches after the other versions. Standard and optional features on the Long Range Dual Motor trim include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Heated front seats
  • 14.5-inch infotainment screen
  • 9-inch digital instrument cluster
  • Three-zone climate control
  • Four USB ports
  • Power hands-free liftgate
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Google-based infotainment (Google Maps, Assistant, Play)
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Height-adjustable air suspension
  • Torque-vectoring rear axle
  • Brembo brakes
  • Sunroof
  • Power front seats

Both Dual Motor trims include the following driver assist and safety-related technologies:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the 3 and the car in front)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the 3 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the 3 and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the 3 back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic alert (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

The Long Range Dual Motor Performance trim includes all the features from the Long Range Model plus the following:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Polestar Engineered chassis tuning
  • Gold seat belts
  • Range-optimization setting

Both Dual Motor trims are available with the optional Plus pack, which adds:

  • Heated rear seats, steering wheel and wiper blades
  • Laminated rear window to reduce cabin noise

  • Black seat belts

Stand-alone options:

  • Ventilated and massaging leather seats in multiple colors
  • Synthetic leather seats

  • Tow hitch
  • Additional 21- and 22-inch wheel options

Which 3 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Long Range Dual Motor trim offers almost the entire spectrum of features available on the Polestar 3, so we think it represents the best value. It's also the trim with the best range estimate while still offering ample power.
