Polestar has received official range certification for the long range single motor variant of its flagship SUV, the Polestar 3.
A certified WLTP range of up to 438 miles (WLTP) means the full-size SUV offers the longest range in its class with prices starting at £69,900 on the road.
The entry-level Polestar 3 uses the same 111 kWh battery pack as the Dual motor version, offering the same 250 kW peak charging capability for a 30 minute 10-80% charge on DC.
Matt Galvin, Polestar UK Managing Director said: “Range anxiety is officially a thing of the past, with all our performance EVs offering over 300 miles (WLTP). This new variant of Polestar 3 not only delivers class-leading range but offers all the luxury features and comfort our customers have come to expect from the brand, combined with the added convenience of fast charging. We look forward to commencing test drives in the new year.”
Customers can further personalise their Long range Single motor Polestar 3 thanks to the model’s single option and pack structure. Buyers can choose from six exterior colours, five interiors and four wheel options, including the new 21-inch alloy wheel available as part of the Pro Pack.
Single options such as the outstanding Bowers & Wilkins 25-speaker audio system complete with Dolby Atmos, Bridge of Weir animal welfare secured Nappa leather and 1.3 megapixel LED headlights, available on the Dual motor models, are also available with this variant.
As a performance brand, the Long range Single motor retains all the hallmarks that make the Long range Dual motor versions such an engaging drive. Ride comfort and control is managed by a sophisticated passive damper system that uses Hydraulic Rebound Stops (HRS) and Frequency Selective Damping (FSD). The result is the Long range Single motor Polestar 3 emulates the dynamic characteristics present in the Dual motor models.
The motor exclusively drives the rear axle of the Long range Single motor Polestar 3, and produces 220 kW and 490 Nm of torque, meaning this variant can accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 7.8 seconds. Stopping power is equally important, and so the Polestar 3 Long range Single motor uses the same Brembo braking system as the rest of the Polestar 3 range.
