The first SUV from budding electric-only brand Polestar will cost $132,900 before on-road costs when it lands in Australia early next year

Polestar Australia has confirmed the local pricing of its new 3 SUV, a clear competitor for cars such as the BMW iX and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.

The Polestar 3 will start from $132,900 before on-road costs and will be available initially with a single launch variant: the long-range dual-motor. This variant will produce 360kW of power and 840Nm of torque.

The Polestar 3 will be priced from $132,900 before on-road costs

Further power and torque can be gained thanks to an optional performance pack that lifts outputs to 380kW/910Nm.

For the extra performance, Polestar will charge $9000 extra, or $141,900 before on-road costs.

The listed price is a notable hike from the cost of Polestar’s other core vehicle, the 2 liftback, which costs between $63,900 and $73,400 before on-road costs depending on the grade, however the 3 SUV promises a significantly higher level of standard specification.

The Polestar will share its SPA2 platform with the recently revealed Volvo EX90, a vehicle widely recognised as the electric version of the XC90, and will use a 107kWh (usable) battery pack.

What does the Polestar 3 include? 

The Polestar 3 SUV will debut in Australia with a highly specified launch edition variant that includes Polestar’s plus pack and pilot pack as standard.

Air suspension will come as standard on the SUV

As part of the pilot pack, a head-up display and Polestar’s ADAS driver assistance package is included as standard.

Adaptive air suspension is standard for the new Polestar 3, along with an electric torque vectoring dual-clutch on the rear axle.

Polestar says it has also fitted a decoupling function for the rear electric motor, allowing only the front motor to run on its own to save energy.

The performance pack boosts power and torque to 380kW/910Nm, however it also includes Polestar engineered chassis tuning, larger 22-inch black alloy wheels, Pirelli P Zero tyres, gold valve caps and seat belts and a range optimisation drive mode.
