Overview
Polestar 3 at a Glance
The Polestar 3 is the brand's largest all-electric SUV, built for drivers who want space, performance, and a refined cabin all in one vehicle. It is built on the SPA2 electric platform, which it shares with the Volvo EX90. First deliveries of the model began in 2024. With a length of approximately 4.9 meters, 484 liters of cargo space, and a braked towing capacity of 2,200 kilograms, there is plenty of room for a family and a trailer alike.
The ride is stable, and the active air suspension continuously adjusts the damping. Euro NCAP awarded the model five stars in 2025.
When choosing a used Polestar 3, the most important factors are the trim level (Single Motor, Dual Motor, or Performance) and the model year. The 2026 model received an 800-volt system, while earlier vehicles feature a 111 kWh battery. If you are wondering what Polestar models are like in general, a comparison can be found on the brand page.

Long Range Single Motor
The rear-wheel drive variant is designed for long-distance driving. It offers the longest range in the lineup and a lower purchase price than the Dual Motor. The power output is well suited for everyday use and highway driving, and the ride feel is smooth and consistent.
Long Range Dual Motor
The Dual Motor features two electric motors, one on each axle. All-wheel drive provides excellent traction even in slippery conditions, and acceleration to 60 mph takes approximately five seconds. This is the most common variant in Saka's inventory.
Performance Pack
The Performance Pack is an add-on for the Dual Motor variant, designed for drivers who want a sharper driving feel. The package raises power output to 380 kW (517 hp), and according to information on Saka's website, the latest software versions may deliver up to 500 kW (680 hp). The package includes:
- Brembo front brakes and vented brake discs
- 22-inch forged wheels
- Pirelli P Zero tires
- Tuned air suspension and chassis for more precise steering feel
- Gold-colored details ("Swedish Gold"): brake calipers, seat belts, and valve caps
The gold-colored details make it easy to identify the Performance variant at a glance, whether you're viewing the car in person or browsing listing photos.
Battery and Charging
The Polestar 3 supports DC fast charging at up to 250 kW, and the battery charges from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 30 minutes. Actual charging time depends on battery temperature and the output of the charging station. At home or at work, the car can be charged more slowly and cost-effectively using AC charging.
Polestar's battery comes with an 8-year or 100,000-mile warranty. The capacity warranty applies if the battery's state of health (SOH) drops below 70% of its original capacity. At Saka, electric vehicle batteries are tested using the Aviloo battery test, so the battery condition is known before purchase.
Transmission
An electric vehicle has a single fixed gear ratio, so there is no need to shift gears. Acceleration is smooth and uninterrupted.

Buyer's Guide
Maintenance and Running Costs
An electric vehicle has no oil changes or timing belt, so maintenance costs are often lower than those of a combustion engine car. Running costs depend on charging: home charging is the most affordable, while public fast charging is the most expensive. A large, heavy car wears through tires more quickly, and 22-inch Performance tires cost more than smaller ones. In addition to the purchase price, compare insurance, tire sets, and charging costs.
What Should You Check When Buying a Used Polestar 3?
- Service history: check the dates of services, mileage readings, repairs carried out, and any upcoming maintenance work.
- Battery condition: request the results of a battery test (at Saka, electric vehicle batteries are tested using the Aviloo battery test). State of Health (SOH) indicates how much of the original capacity remains.
- Warranty and recalls: check with an authorized service center using the car's VIN number for any remaining warranties, as well as potential recalls and software updates.
- Charging: test both AC and fast charging, and inspect the charging port and charging cables.
- Range: compare the estimated range shown on the display with the battery size and model year. Range is shorter in winter.
- Air suspension: test the height adjustment and make sure there are no suspension-related warnings on the display. Also check whether air suspension is included in the car's equipment, as it is an optional extra on some versions.
- Software: make sure the car's software is up to date and that the touchscreen, navigation, phone connectivity, and Google services are all working properly.
- Driver assistance systems and sensors: verify that the adaptive cruise control, cameras, radar, and parking sensors are functioning and that there are no driver assistance-related warnings on the display.
- Chassis and brakes: listen for clunking sounds over bumps and check that the car drives straight. On Performance Pack vehicles, inspect the condition of the brakes and wheels.
- Body: check the sills, wheel arches, lower door edges, and paintwork for any signs of previous repairs.
- Tires and wheels: check the condition, age, and wear of both sets of tires. Large forged wheels should also be inspected for damage.
Single Motor or Dual Motor?
Single Motor is the right choice for a buyer who frequently takes long trips and wants the longest range without paying extra for all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel drive is perfectly adequate for everyday use.
Dual Motor is the right choice for a buyer who wants power and traction on slippery roads. It is also the more common version available in Saka's inventory.
