What it is

This 2026 Polestar 3 is a standard sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive. It uses electricity and an automatic transmission.

Its dual permanent-magnet motors are rated at 220 and 280 kW. The EPA figure that defines its everyday reach is a 281-mile range.

The numbers

The EPA combined rating is 81 MPGe. Energy use is 41.55 kWh per 100 miles.

The 281-mile range is the distance listed for a full charge. Charging at 240 volts takes 11 hours.

What it costs to run

The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $950. Because this vehicle uses electricity, that figure reflects charging energy rather than gasoline.

Its 41.55 kWh-per-100-miles rating shows how much electricity the EPA estimates it uses over distance. Your actual bill depends on your electricity rate and miles driven.

How it compares

This model belongs in the electric SUV group.

Its EPA range is 281 miles.

Who it suits

The Polestar 3 suits a driver who wants an electric SUV with all-wheel drive and a 281-mile EPA range.

It makes the most sense for someone who can plan around an 11-hour, 240-volt charging time.

Trade-offs

You get all-wheel drive and dual motors, but the EPA energy-use figure is 41.55 kWh per 100 miles. That is the electricity amount attached to its 81 MPGe rating.

The 281-mile range supports longer trips between charges, while the listed 11-hour 240-volt charge time requires a long charging window.

Verdict

Choose this Polestar when an electric SUV, all-wheel drive and a 281-mile EPA range fit your routine. The $950 annual EPA energy estimate gives you a straightforward running-cost reference, while 41.55 kWh per 100 miles describes its electricity demand. Make sure an 11-hour 240-volt charging period works for your schedule. Its dual 220- and 280-kW motors define the powertrain, but the practical decision rests on range, charging time and access to electricity.
