Polestar 3. Large premium electric SUV
In the early days of 2022, Polestar released an image of the new electric Polestar 3 SUV. This is a luxury vehicle and the brand’s first model planned to be produced in America, namely in Charleston, South Carolina. The Swedish-Chinese brand believes that the premium SUV market is the fastest growing segment of the US automotive industry. It is highly likely that it will become so for the rest of the world.
Polestar plans to increase sales from the current 10,000 vehicles a year to 290,000 in the next few years and conquer new markets. So far, the brand is represented in 14 countries, but soon this number will grow to 30.
Ingenlath says that the new Polestar 3 will be one of the world’s most environmentally friendly vehicles and will eventually feature self-driving highway driving based on Luminar’s LiDAR sensor technology and Nvidia’s operating system.
‘Polestar 3 is planned to be launched in 2022 as a premium electric performance SUV that will define the look of SUVs in the electric age. It will also be the first Polestar vehicle to be built in America’
The Polestar 3 is comparable in size to the Volvo XC90 and is definitely destined to become the brand’s flagship. The new model will be presented during the beginning of the year (as well as the new generation XC90). The Polestar 3 will be exclusively electric, while the XC90 will receive ICE-based hybrid systems. The future flagship is built on the Volvo SPA2 platform, will be equipped with two rows of seats and will receive two modifications with one- and two-engine installations. The design of the new electric car is similar to the 2020 Polestar Precept concept, and the headlights feature the “Thor”s hammer’.
