The Polestar 3 is coming this 2022, but there were no specific dates or periods that the car is heading for public dealerships. It may be so that this 2022 release date is only a showcase and time for preordering, but not quite its availability to the public as the venture remains vague for its recent releases. 

The focus of the company is having a "homegrown" electric vehicle that has deep roots to the US soil, especially with the 2018 acquired factory by Volvo to be manufacturing it. The factory is located in Ridgeville, South Carolina, and the company has focused the plant's resources and ventures to focus on the latest electric vehicle by the new name.

Polestar is a Company Under Volvo

Earlier this year, Polestar has begun launching its focus to go electric and strive for clean energy by 2030, something that the company would be focusing on under Volvo's tutelage. However, this does not mean that it would be under Volvo's name as Polestar remains its focus on EVs, while Volvo's future remains unknown for electric mobility.

Polestar 3 vs. Electric SUVs Now

Polestar is new to the ear and eyes of people looking at potential electric vehicle purchases as the world is looking to transition from internal combustion engine vehicles into clean energy mobility. That being said, the popularity of electric vehicles is getting massive nowadays, especially with the transition made by certain local governments in the country regarding its commitment to eco-friendliness. 

Polestar 3's largest competitor now is the Tesla Model X which has been a popular SUV that focuses on electric mobility, hailing from one of the top EV companies in the country and the world. It is known that the new Model X also delivers a 'Plaid' unit, with 331 miles of range, a peak power of 1,020 horses, and 9.9 seconds in the quarter-mile. 

On the other hand, it also has to go through the different electric SUVs present now including that of Ford Mustang Mach-ERivian R1SVolkswagen ID.4, Audi e-Tron, and more. Volvo is already an established car brand, but Polestar is a different one, especially as it has not yet debuted any prototype units that the world has seen in action, or test-driven already.
