CO2e at launch. This is lower than that of the significantly smaller Polestar 2 when it was launched in 2020 (26.1 tCO2e), proving that even for large SUVs action can be taken to reduce their climate impact.

Material production and refining contributes 68% of its cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of which aluminum represents 24%, iron and steel 17% and battery module production 24%. The approach to meeting the ambitious sustainability targets for Polestar 3 took learnings from the carbon footprint reductions of Polestar 2. Consequently, 81% of Polestar 3’s total aluminum mass production, the Li-ion battery cell module production as well as anode and cathode material production use 100% renewable electricity. By doing this, 8.5 tCO2e per car have been eliminated.

Polestar 3 is the first car from Polestar to feature centralized computing with the NVIDIA DRIVE core computer, running software from Volvo Cars. Serving as the AI brain, NVIDIA’s high-performance automotive platform processes data from the car’s multiple sensors and cameras to enable advanced driver-assistance safety features and driver monitoring. The infotainment system is powered by a next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. As a central component of the Snapdragon Digital Chassis - a comprehensive set of open and scalable cloud-connected automotive platforms - the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform is utilized to provide immersive in-vehicle experiences with its high-performance capabilities to deliver high-definition displays, premium quality surround sound and seamless connectivity throughout the vehicle.

As standard, Polestar 3 features a total of five radar modules, five external cameras and twelve external ultrasonic sensors to support numerous advanced safety features. The SmartZone below the front aero wing collects several of the forward-facing sensors, a heated radar module and camera, and now becomes a signature of Polestar design. Inside, two closed-loop driver monitoring cameras bring leading eye tracking technology from Smart Eye to a Polestar for the first time, geared towards safer driving. The cameras monitor the driver’s eyes and can trigger warning messages, sounds and even an emergency stop function when detecting a distracted, drowsy or disconnected driver.

For the North American market, the Polestar 3 has a US MSRP of $67,500 to $93,400, depending on vehicle configuration. It has two motor variants: a rear motor configuration and a dual-motor configuration with a power bias towards the rear. Long range Single motor produces a total of 220 kW
