3 Rear Motor (MY26)

The Polestar 3 Rear Motor (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £76,540. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.5 seconds, quicker than 51% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 273 miles (440 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 56% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 95th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.1 mi/kWh (200 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 88 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 170 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 323 miles (520 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.

Its UK starting price works out at £280 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £43,600–£49,800, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 268 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
