Polestar Australia has added a long range rear-wheel-drive variant to the Polestar 3 lineup, starting at $118,420 with a range of up to 700 km.
The Long range Single motor model is the third variant of the Polestar 3 and is now available to order, with Polestar confirming Australian deliveries will commence in early 2025.
“The Polestar 3 Long range Single motor pushes the boundaries of luxury and performance, all while delivering up to 700 km in range. It’s a great achievement for a large and spacious SUV, making EVs easier to own and more exciting to drive,” said Polestar Australia managing director, Scott Maynard.
Like the Polestar 3 Long range Dual motor, the new Long range Single motor’s exterior design reinforces the brand’s elegant Swedish minimalist aesthetic. Standard exterior features include a front and rear wing, active LED headlights, flush door handles, a panoramic glass roof, and 20-inch Aero wheels.
The Polestar 3’s spacious interior has been carefully curated to prioritise driver engagement and occupant comfort. All Polestar 3 variants feature responsibly-sourced and recycled materials, a 14.5-inch multimedia touchscreen with full smartphone integration, triple-zone climate control, electrically adjustable and heated seats.
Like the Long range Dual motor model, the Long range Single motor utilises the same 111 kWh battery pack as the Long range Dual motor version, with a 250 kW peak charging capability delivering a 30-minute 10-80 percent DC charge.
The single motor drives the rear axle only and produces 220 kW and 490 Nm of torque with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.8 seconds. Stopping power is equally important, and so the Polestar 3 Long range Single motor uses the same Brembo braking system as the rest of the Polestar 3 range.
Buyers can choose from six exterior colours, six interior rooms and four wheel options including the new 21-inch alloy wheel available as part of the new Pro Pack.
