Polestar has started U.S. production of its Long-Range Single Motor (LRSM) Polestar 3, marking a significant milestone for the premium electric SUV. Manufactured in Charleston, South Carolina, this model brings a blend of impressive range, performance, and luxury to the EV market.
Exceptional Range and Charging
The Polestar 3 LRSM boasts an EPA-rated range of 350 miles, setting it apart in the electric SUV class. It achieves this impressive efficiency with a 111 kWh battery, the same as its dual-motor counterpart, but optimized for rear-wheel drive. Need a quick recharge? Its 250 kW DC fast charging can bring the battery from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes, making it a practical choice for road trips and daily commutes alike.
Balanced Performance
Don’t let the single-motor setup fool you—this SUV packs plenty of power. Its rear-mounted motor delivers 295 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque, propelling it from 0-62 mph in 7.8 seconds. Polestar has equipped the LRSM with an advanced suspension system featuring Hydraulic Rebound Stops (HRS) and Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) to ensure a smooth ride. Brembo brakes come standard, offering precise stopping power for added safety.
Luxury Comes Standard
Even as the entry-level model, the Polestar 3 LRSM is loaded with high-end features. Drivers will appreciate the 14.5-inch LED infotainment display, tri-zone climate control, wireless smartphone charging, and a robust suite of driver-assistance systems, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist.
Custom Options for a Personal Touch
Polestar offers buyers plenty of customization options, including six exterior colors, five interior trims, and four wheel designs, such as a new 21-inch alloy. For those seeking even more luxury, the optional Pro Pack includes Bowers & Wilkins 25-speaker audio with Dolby Atmos, premium leather upholstery, and advanced LED headlights.
Competitive Pricing on the Horizon
While U.S. pricing for the LRSM is yet to be announced, expectations suggest a starting price in the mid-$80,000 range. With production now underway, Polestar aims to deliver this luxury SUV to eager buyers soon.
The Polestar 3 LRSM is shaping up to be a game-changer in the EV market, combining range, performance, and style in one sleek package.
