Following the unveiling of its breathtaking all-electric SUV, the Polestar 3, in China, the Swedish automaker Polestar has firmly established itself as a major player on the international stage.
In October, Polestar introduced its first electric SUV, the Polestar 3, as part of its new age of electric vehicles, following the release of the hugely successful all-electric Polestar 2. The Polestar 3 has an EPA-estimated range of up to 270 miles.
Ideal SUV for the electric age
According to the car manufacturer, the Polestar 3 is the “SUV for the electric age.” It features an elegant, understated design inspired by Scandinavian minimalism, improved aerodynamics, and a powerful and wide stance.
Polestar got the SUV and decided to bring it to the modern period by integrating the hallmarks of an SUV and merging them with developed innovative features that the company says the Smartzone, which substitutes the front grille with a host of radars, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors, primarily functioning as a “third eye.”
This car has been designed as a Polestar from the start and features new defining characteristics for us – like the dual blade headlights, SmartZone, and front aero wing
