The 2026 Polestar 3 Rear Motor is a practical mid-size electric SUV that suits Australian families wanting a single-motor RWD alternative to pricier dual-motor EVs, offering genuine real-world versatility with 604km of claimed range, a spacious 597-litre boot, and genuine towing capability up to 1500kg.
