The development of the highly anticipated Polestar 3 electric vehicle is now in its final stages, following a rigorous two-week hot weather testing period in the United Arab Emirates. As production gears up for a planned launch in the first quarter of 2024, Polestar is set to expand its lineup to include three models, including the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 SUVs.
After making its global dynamic debut at the prestigious 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed in England, Polestar 3 prototypes embarked on a journey to the United Arab Emirates in August. A team of dedicated engineers accompanied the vehicles to fine-tune their climate systems, subjecting them to the most extreme desert heat conditions. This demanding expedition spanned the urban metropolises and vast deserts surrounding Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where temperatures soared to a scorching 50 degrees Celsius. Such tests are an integral part of Polestar’s rigorous development process.
Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar, expressed confidence in the project’s progress, stating, “The Polestar 3 development and testing program is progressing well, and I expect production to commence in Q1 2024. Polestar 3 marks the beginning of an exciting journey, and customers worldwide can now visit our retail locations to admire its outstanding design and experience its exclusive and innovative interior.”
Polestar has taken a proactive approach to engage potential buyers, with selected Polestar Spaces in 27 markets now showcasing Polestar 3 prototype display cars, inviting customers to explore the vehicle’s features and design. These prototypes will be followed by test drive vehicles, slated for release in 2024. Moreover, Polestar 3 is already available for purchase online at Polestar.com, offering a convenient and efficient way for interested customers to secure their own Polestar 3.
With the successful completion of hot weather testing in the UAE, Polestar is demonstrating its commitment to delivering a cutting-edge electric vehicle that can thrive in diverse and challenging climates. The Polestar 3 promises to be a significant addition to the brand’s growing lineup of sustainable and high-performance vehicles, further solidifying its position as a leader in the electric vehicle industry. Stay tuned for more updates as the journey towards the official launch in 2024 continues.
