The Polestar 3 Shows its Backside Ahead of October 12 Unveiling

This past May, Polestar confirmed the arrival of its third model, named obviously enough, Polestar 3. At the time, Volvo's all-electric division also confirmed that the luxury SUV would be unveiled in October.

The automaker has just shared another image of the EV’s back end and nailed down the date for the unveiling: October 12. Company boss Thomas Ingenlath will be on hand for the reveal.

The model
Built on a new platform that will be used also for the next-generation Volvo XC90, the Polestar 3 is set to be the Volvo/Polestar Group's most upscale SUV. Power will of course be plentiful, but so will comfort with the presence of a dual-chamber air suspension and active dampers, for example. The chassis can be “adjusted” by being set in either comfort or sport modes.

The first version of the Polestar 3 to come to market will get a dual-motor configuration with rear-wheel bias, with torque vectoring to the rear electric motor using a dual-clutch system. With the optional Performance Package, the Polestar 3 will spit out 510 hp and 671 lb-ft of torque.
