3 Long Range Performance (MY23-25)

The Polestar 3 Long Range Performance (MY23-25) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2026, when it cost £81,500 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds, quicker than 76% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 298 miles (480 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 73% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 44th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 2.8 mi/kWh (223 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 107 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 150 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 321 miles (516 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £26,300–£30,800 and a 2026 one at £46,500–£53,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 275 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
