Swedish automaker Polestar has just announced the updated pricing of the 2025 Polestar 3 electric SUV, with additional variants now available at a lower price.
The move is indeed intriguing, considering that the new Polestar 3 electric SUV has not even launched in the United States yet.
Original pricing
Polestar originally announced that the 2025 Polestar 3 would start at $83,900 ($89,900 for the Performance Pack version), excluding a $1,400 destination charge.
In a significant development, the company decided to reduce the prices by $10,500.
Updated pricing and key specs
Polestar unveiled the four configurations of the 2025 Polestar 3. The base Polestar 3 Long Range (LR) Dual Motor (DM) starts at $73,400 MSRP (plus $1,400 DST). While the Plus Pack is no longer standard, it will come standard with the Pilot Pack, which offers the following features:
- Pilot Assist driver assistance aids
- Park Assist Pilot
- Lane Change Assist
- Head-up Display
Interested customers must pay $5,500 more ($78,900 + DST) to gain access to the model’s Plus Pack, indicating an effective price cut of $5,000. For context, the Plus Pack offers the following:
- A 1,610-watt Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system
- Bio-attributed MicroTech or animal welfare wool seats
- 21-inch Plus wheels and heated rear seats
Meanwhile, the Performance Pack costs $6,000 more ($79,400 + DST) for the LR DM Performance. It offers the following features:
- Engineered chassis tuning
- 22-inch Performance forged wheels
- A software performance upgrade that boosts output to 517 hp and 671 lb.-ft. of torque
- A 0-60 mph sprint of 4.6 seconds
- Swedish gold accents, including the seat belts
Buyers who still want the Plus Pack must pay an additional $5,500 ($84,900 + DST). For this amount, future owners can have the fully-loaded Polestar 3 Long Range Dual motor with Pilot Pack, Plus Pack, and Performance Pack.

Production schedule
Polestar plans to officially start the deliveries of the 2025 Polestar 3 in the second quarter of the year. For now, the Swedish automaker is encouraging interested customers to configure their Polestar 3 on the official website.
Polestar recently kicked off the series production of the new Polestar 3 in Chengdu, China. It plans to start local production in late 2024. The company will apparently produce the electric SUV in South Carolina for the American market.
Given that Polestar will initially import the Polestar 3 from Chengdu, it will not qualify for the US federal tax credit of up to $7,500. Nonetheless, it can still benefit from the Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, which is worth $7,500 through leasing.
