Polestar marked a significant achievement on June 27th, 2024 with the first deliveries of the Polestar 3 and the introduction of the long-range single motor variant, boasting an impressive range.
This new model, estimated to travel up to 403 miles according to the WLTP standard (roughly 650 kilometers), prioritizes efficiency with an energy consumption rating of 18.9 to 20 kWh per 100 kilometers.
While acceleration sits at a respectable 7.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, the top speed reaches a maximum of 180 kilometers per hour. While US pricing details are yet to be revealed for the single motor model, European figures show a starting price of 78,590 euros in Germany.
This contrasts with the Long Range Dual Motor and Performance Pack trims, which start at slightly higher price points. These models offer a noticeable boost in acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in under 5 seconds.
It’s worth noting that the WLTP driving range estimates for the Dual Motor models are typically higher than those measured by the EPA in the US, further highlighting the difference in testing methodologies.
