High Performance and Accessibility
Equipped with the same 111 kWh battery as the dual-motor version, the single-motor Polestar 3 supports peak 250 kW DC fast charging, achieving a 10-80% charge in just 30 minutes. Powered by a rear-axle motor delivering 220 kW and 490 Nm of torque, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.8 seconds while maintaining Polestar’s hallmark dynamic performance.

Premium features such as a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, Bridge of Weir Nappa leather, and high-definition LED headlights are available as add-ons.

The Long Range Single Motor model also includes a sophisticated suspension system featuring Hydraulic Rebound Stops (HRS) and Frequency Selective Damping (FSD), ensuring a smooth yet engaging driving experience. The Brembo braking system, shared with dual-motor variants, ensures precise stopping power.
