Polestar 3's Other Details
Aside from the mentioned Polestar 3 features above, it also has a 484-liter boot capacity, as well as an additional 32-liter frunk (trunk at the front of a car).
On the other hand, Polestar 3 also has a great aerodynamic design since its front aero wing can reduce high-pressure build-up.
"Technical design elements are integrated into the exterior, working together for greater aerodynamic efficiency," said Polestar via its official website.
The automaker further explained that the high-pressure build-up could be prevented since the EV's aero wing ensures the airflow stays on the car's bonnet.
When it comes to pricing, the new electric SUV will not be a cheap one since it is estimated to start at $84,000.
