As a range-enhancing model, a dual-motor electric powertrain is available.
Polestar is currently working on at most two new products that will soon be added to its product range. The brand’s first ever electric SUV will debut in October. A teaser image of the vehicle has been released. It is already a serious contender in the rapidly expanding electric SUV market. This is the first official image of the high-riding electric vehicle without camouflage.
Polestar sees great potential in this segment. It is one of the fastest growing and highest-margin segments in the automotive sector. The Polestar 3 will soon be made in the United States and China, with the first examples expected to arrive on the assembly lines by the end of next year. Customers will be able place orders right after the premiere in Oct.
Polestar does not know all aspects of the performance EV-SUV. However, Polestar claims that it will rely upon a dual motor electric system powered with a large battery to provide a range of more than 372 miles (600 km) on two charges. These figures are based upon Europe’s more generous WLTP testing cycles.
Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath comments that the Polestar 3 is the SUV of the electric age. With this luxury high-end EV, we have a unique design identity. This car brings the sport back to the SUV while staying true to our performance roots.
The Polestar 3 will also be available with a single motor as an affordable option to the range-topping models. The EV SUV will be positioned to be a more expensive and luxurious product than the next generation Volvo XC90. However, the Polestar 3 will be powered with exclusive powertrains which are not available on the XC90.
The brand plans to expand its reach into at least 30 markets worldwide by next year with the Polestar 3. The automaker plans to double its global sales by the middle of next decade to approximately 29,000 vehicles in 2021 and 290,000. In 2025, it will have a total of 290,000.
