00:00Welcome to our video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog on the topic of the Poster 3.
00:11You can find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
00:17The Polestar 3 aims to establish itself in the luxury class and shows that it can keep up with German premium cars such as Porsche and BMW.
00:24With an impressive range of up to 706 km.
00:30According to WLTPN, the Polestar 3 is positioned significantly above the previously certified values of the basic version, which reaches around 650 km.
00:42This electric SUV measures 4.90 m in total length and shares the technical basis with the Volvo X90, as both are based on the scalable product architecture too and therefore have the same wheelbase.
00:53However, the body of the Poster 3 is more aerodynamic and coupe-like, which gives it a lower height of 1.61 m compared to the 1.70 m high EX90.
01:05A disadvantage of this sloping roofline is the smaller trunk, which offers between 484 and 1411 L for the Polestar 3, while the X90 has a trunk of 3.65 to 1915 L.
01:22Both models are also equipped with a front trunk.
01:29Two all-wheel drive models were originally announced for the Poster 3's drivetrains and versions.
01:36A rear-wheel drive model with 220 kV surprisingly followed in June 2024.
01:41The range was initially specified as 650 km and the power consumption was between 80.9 and 20 kW, 100 km per hour.
01:53There are now official WLTP values that increase the range to up to 706 km and reduce the power consumption to 17.6 kW, 100 km per hour,
02:04catapulting the Polestar 3 into the top 10 of the longest-range electric cars.
02:10The cheaper of the two all-wheel drive models, the long-range dual motor offers 360 kW.
02:17With the performance pack, the system output increases to 380 kW, although this is likely only possible for a short time,
02:25since even with this package only 280 kW of power is installed.
02:29The Polestar 3 is powered exclusively by permanent magnet-synchronous motors.
02:36The all-wheel drive models are designed to be rear-biased for the sake of driving dynamics
02:41and have two clutches on the rear axle that enable active torque vectoring.
02:47To save power, the rear axle can be decoupled when full power is not required.
02:51This turns the Polestar 3 into a front-wheel drive vehicle.
02:56An unusual configuration, since the front axle is usually decoupled.
03:02All variants of the Polestar 3 are equipped with a battery that offers a gross capacity of 117 kWh,
03:09while the net capacity is 107 kWh according to the EV database.
03:13The battery consists of 17 modules with prismatic cells and NMC chemistry from the Chinese manufacturer cartel.
03:22According to unofficial information, the battery configuration consists of 102 rows and two parallel connections,
03:29resulting in a total of 204 cells.
03:33Each module contains 12 cells, with half of the cells connected in series.
03:38This results in a voltage of around 370 to 380 volts.
03:42The vehicle therefore uses 400-volt technology.
03:47The battery is liquid-cooled and has a heat pump as standard.
03:51It was originally stated that the Polestar 3 can be charged with up to 250 kW.
03:58However, this is hardly possible with a 400-volt system,
04:02as the CCS interface is limited to 500 amps.
04:05This results in a maximum charging power of 200 kV.
04:09The charging power of 250 kW is no longer listed in the current technical data.
04:18However, the charging time remains unchanged at 30 minutes for charging from 10% to 80%,
04:23which corresponds to a charging speed of 2.5 kWh per minute.
04:27One of the highest values for 400-volt systems.
04:32The Polestar 3 also achieves impressive results when it comes to range recharging.
04:37Per minute of charging time in the range of 10% to 80%.
04:40An average of 60.5 km of range can be recharged,
04:46which results in a range of 330 km in 20 minutes.
04:52The Polestar 3 is also prepared for feeding electricity back into the grid and for plug-in charge.
04:59Inside, users can expect a 14.5-inch touchscreen in vertical orientation and a small instrument display.
05:06All versions of the Polestar 3 have a large glass roof, LED lighting,
05:12retractable door handles with proximity sensor,
05:1521-inch alloy wheels, doors with automatic soft close,
05:18a head-up display and a heated steering wheel.
05:22The all-wheel drive models are equipped with air suspension
05:25and electronically controlled dampers as standard.
05:27The numerous sensors include five radar modules,
05:32five external cameras and two interior cameras,
05:35which ensure that the driver is not distracted.
05:38A song package can also be ordered.
05:41However, vehicles with this equipment will not be delivered until mid-2025.
05:46The market launch of the Polestar 3 took place in October 2022.
05:51However, production in Chengdu, China did not begin until 2024 due to software issues.
05:58The large electric SUV has been delivered in Germany since July 2024,
06:03as the KBI registration figures show,
06:05with the first examples presumably intended for test drives and showrooms.
06:10After production initially took place in China,
06:13series production has now also begun in the USA.
06:17According to the configurator,
06:19anyone who orders an individually configured POS 3 at the beginning of January 2025
06:24should receive their vehicle in May or June 2025,
06:27which means a delivery time of around five months.
06:31For the 2025 model year, which began in August 2024,
06:35prices are 85,590 euros and 290 euros respectively.
06:40As announced, the rear-wheel drive model costs 78,590 euros.
06:45In addition to the prices mentioned,
06:47there is an additional 1,300 euros for delivery.
06:51A purchase bonus of 4,000 euros POSTER LAUNCH WEEKS
06:54has already been deducted from the prices mentioned.
06:57According to the configurator,
06:58this discount is valid until the end of the year.
