The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

2026 Polestar 3 review
Polestar 3: everyday electric done well enough. Illustrative review
8.1/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Polestar 3 is a strong contender in its class. Standard driver-assist suite; easy to see out of and park. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $70,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.0 of 5 from 3 owners
Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
Replaced an older Polestar with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
