Polestar’s (PSNY) new luxury electric SUV just gained a cheaper, longer-range variant. The new 2025 Long Range Polestar 3 RWD trim is now available with up to 350 miles of range, starting under $70,000.
Although the Polestar 3 has been on sale in the US, it’s only been available in Long-range Dual Motor variants.
The new Long range Single motor model starts at $67,500 with up to 350 EPA-estimated miles driving range. That’s a considerable jump from the Long range Dual motor model with up to 315 miles range, starting at $73,400.
Polestar’s new electric SUV is $6,400 cheaper than the previous base AWD trim. The new entry-level model features a single rear motor, good for 295 hp and 361 lb-ft of torque.
In comparison, the base AWD model packs 484 hp and 620 lb-ft of torque. With the loss of a motor, the RWD trim also loses some performance. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 secs, compared to the AWD model with a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 4.8 secs.

For those looking for more, you can opt for the Polestar 3 with Performance Pack. With up to 517 hp and 671 lb-ft of torque, the electric SUV moves from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 secs.
Polestar’s new electric SUV features 14.5″ LED infotainment and 9″ driver display screens on the interior. There’s also a rear control screen for climate and seat heating controls.
The new RWD model can fast charge (10% to 80%) in 30 minutes, the same as the other models, with a charging rate of 250 kW.

What's hilarious is they try to dumb down the acceleration of the cheapest version to 7.6 seconds in order to make the higher trim versions worth the premium. When we all know it's just an extra several hundred dollars in cost to make an anemic performance EV into a fun one.
The new model is now available on Polestar’s website. Estimated delivery times are between February and April 2025.

Meanwhile, the company delivered its first US-made Polestar 3 models earlier this month. Polestar began building its electric SUV at its South Carolina plant in August. You can test drive the new EV at a nearby Polestar space. You can find Spaces on Polestar’s website.
The new model arrives after Polestar recently announced that drivers can now order NACS plugs to access Tesla’s Supercharger network. Deliveries are scheduled for mid-November.
