The public can view three prototype display cars in 27 various markets in an effort to generate interest and anticipation. The release of test drive models is anticipated in 2024.
The price on the American market begins at $85,300 and incorporates a Long-range Dual motor. A Performance bundle is additionally available for an added $6,000 price. The price does not include prospective incentives, such as the $7,500 federal tax credit, for which the SUV should qualify. Those eager to reserve a Polestar 3 can do so online with a $1,000 deposit that is entirely refundable. The second quarter of 2024 is anticipated to mark the beginning of Polestar 3 deliveries in the United States, making it probable that the vehicle will be available as a 2025 model.
