Polestar is set to expand its Polestar 3 lineup with the introduction of a long-range single-motor variant in the United Kingdom. This new addition offers an accessible entry point into the electric SUV market, starting at £69,900.

The battery-electric vehicle will be produced in both China and the USA. It boasts the same robust 111 kWh battery pack found in its dual motor counterpart, featuring a peak charging power of 250 kW. This allows for a rapid 10-80 per cent charge in just 30 minutes using DC power. Impressively, this new model offers a range of up to 403 miles per charge (per WLTP), making it the most efficient Polestar 3 to date.

Powering this new entry-level variant is a rear-mounted electric motor with 295 bhp. This power enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 7.8 seconds. As standard equipment, the SUV also benefits from the same high-performance Brembo braking system as other models in the range.
