2026 Polestar 3
What Is It?
The 2026 Polestar 3 is an electric five‑seat SUV that positions itself as a premium, performance‑oriented alternative in the luxury EV segment for UAE buyers. It pairs an all‑wheel‑drive automatic powertrain producing 489 hp and 840 Nm of torque with a claimed electric range of 560 km and a 0–100 km/h time of 5.0 seconds, offering the space and capability of an SUV with the immediate torque and quiet refinement of an EV.
Design & Exterior
The Polestar 3 carries a clean Scandinavian design language with a coupe‑like roofline and sculpted surfaces intended to balance presence and aerodynamics. Its SUV proportions give it a commanding road stance for urban driving in Dubai or Abu Dhabi and for longer motorway runs between emirates. The body and glazing are designed to reduce drag and cabin heat buildup, a useful trait in the Gulf’s hot, sunny climate where low aerodynamic drag helps preserve range under sustained highway speeds.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the five‑seat cabin focuses on minimalist luxury and practical space for families or business commuters. Rear seat room and cargo capacity are geared toward everyday UAE use, from airport transfers to weekend escapes. Climate management and insulation are critical in the region, and the Polestar 3’s electric HVAC system lets you precondition the cabin to cool before you drive, improving comfort and preserving range during the hot months.
Performance & Engine
Performance is a key selling point: the dual‑motor AWD setup delivers 489 hp and 840 Nm for brisk acceleration, hitting 100 km/h in about 5.0 seconds while offering strong traction on wet roads or sand‑affected surfaces. The automatic power delivery is immediate, and regenerative braking helps recover energy in city and stop‑start traffic common in UAE urban centers, supporting the stated 560 km electric range for longer drives.
Safety & Tech Features
Polestar equips the 3 with modern safety and connectivity technology to match its premium positioning, including driver assistance systems, a sophisticated infotainment architecture, and regular software updates to refine functionality over time. Those features matter in the UAE context where highway speeds are high and connected services improve navigation, charging coordination and comfort during long inter‑emirate journeys.
Why Buy It in the UAE?
The Polestar 3 is well suited to UAE buyers who want an electric SUV that combines long range, strong performance and refined comfort. The 560 km range reduces range‑anxiety for longer trips between emirates, and AWD capability is helpful for occasional off‑pavement driving or wet conditions. Operating as an EV cuts dependence on petrol and lowers running costs in a market where electricity is typically cheaper than fuel per kilometer, while the robust climate control and preconditioning features address the region’s high ambient temperatures.
Price Range
The Polestar 3 starts in the UAE at AED 249,900, with final ownership costs depending on chosen options, registration and local taxes.
