2025 Polestar 3 Review: Premium EV Performance, Everyday Friction

This week, I get behind the wheel of the Polestar 3 EV. It’s quick, planted, and comfortable on long drives, with one-pedal grace and a minimalist cabin that feels genuinely premium. Yet living with it isn’t as effortless as the badge suggests: start-up quirks, menu-heavy controls, uneven speed-limit data, and no spare tire undercut daily confidence. The good news is meaningful price cuts, a strong range for the class, serious towing for an EV SUV, and over-the-air updates that can smooth the edges. If Polestar streamlines the human interface, this vehicle could become a segment benchmark.
