- The 2025 Polestar 3 starts at $74,800 and ranges up to $86,300.

As Polestar prepares to launch its third model, the 2025 Polestar 3, it’s releasing additional pricing information and specs about this new electric SUV model that’s slated to arrive in the U.S. this summer. It now carries a lower starting price of $74,800 thanks to a newly announced base model, and range estimates are between 279 miles on the low end and 315 miles on the upper end.
That base price is for the Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor version, which has 483 horsepower and 620 pound-feet of torque. It comes standard with the Pilot Pack, which includes numerous driver-assistance features, and offers the Plus pack as an option for $5500. The Plus Pack includes an upgraded audio system, heated rear seats, 21-inch wheels, and other equipment. These versions are all estimated to deliver 315 miles of range from a 107.0-kWh battery pack, though we’re still waiting to hear final EPA ratings.
The more powerful Performance configuration has a starting price of $80,800 and ups the ante to 510 horsepower and 671 pound-feet of torque. It also offers the Plus Pack as a $5500 option. The range estimate for this version drops down to 279 miles.
Polestar says it has already started production in China, and that U.S. deliveries will begin in the second quarter of this year. Later in the year, it plans to start production of the Polestar 3 at the Volvo plant in Charleston, South Carolina.

He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
