RRP before on-road costs, as published by the manufacturer.

Overview

At $116,700 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs, the 2026 Polestar 3 Rear Motor gets you a five-seat electric SUV with a single motor driving the rear wheels. Range is 603km (WLTP) from a 92kWh battery, and DC fast charging peaks at 310kW. Boot space is 597 litres with the seats up and 1,411 litres with the rear seats folded. Braked towing is 1,500kg, so it can handle a modest trailer but not a big caravan. It suits a family wanting a roomy electric SUV with plenty of range between charges.

Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.

Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file.

At $116,700 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs, the 2026 Polestar 3 Rear Motor gets you a five-seat electric SUV with a single motor driving the rear wheels.
