Swedish automaker Polestar has finally started the global customer deliveries of the first Polestar 3 electric SUVs.
Polestar begins deliveries of its flagship SUV
According to the press release, Polestar has officially kicked off the initial customer deliveries of its new electric SUV offering – Polestar 3.
The launch of the Polestar 3 marks a significant advancement for the company as it serves as the third model in its electric vehicle portfolio.
Polestar kicked off the Polestar 3 electric SUV’s global customer deliveries on two continents, gradually accelerating throughout the summer. Positive reviews from auto journalists have stimulated high customer demand, with the initial test drive slots getting booked up fast.
The first lucky customers received their Polestar 3 in a special ceremony at the company’s Gothenburg headquarters in Sweden. These initial deliveries included launch edition Polestar 3 units in Magnesium and Space colors, along with a special gift package to commemorate the event.
“This is an important milestone – first deliveries of Polestar 3 to our customers. Test drives start at all Polestar Spaces this coming weekend in Europe. Thousands of hand-raisers are invited to experience our great, luxurious performance SUV. Polestar is becoming a global player with the most attractive electric product range.”
Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath

Looking forward
Polestar plans to intensify its ongoing customer delivery push for the new electric SUV across the world by holding the same local handover ceremonies.
More deliveries will occur in the German and Norwegian markets on June 28, 2024. In the US, the company’s North American team is already delivering the first Polestar 3 units in California, Illinois, Indiana, and New York.
“We always knew the Polestar 3 was going to be popular, but even we were blown away by the global media’s reviews and the response to opening up test drive bookings. It’s testament to the excitement in the market for this car and customer interest to get behind the wheel of our flagship electric SUV.”

Polestar is also set to launch the first production line of the Polestar 3 in the US in the summer, potentially enabling it to access the federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.
Polestar also introduced a new Long Range Single Motor Polestar 3 trim on Thursday as the first models reach customers. It starts at $85,500 (€79,890), including the handover fee. It is currently only available in the European market, while North America and Australia will follow later this year. Notably, it features the same 111 kWh battery, delivering up to 404 miles (650 km) WLTP-rated range.
