The Polestar 3 has cemented its place as a standout luxury electric SUV, taking the top spot in the prestigious El Prix 2025 winter range test. The test, organised by the Norwegian Automobile Federation (NAF) and Motor magazine, is renowned as the world’s largest independent winter range evaluation, featuring a gruelling route through Norway’s icy and wet winter conditions.
Competing against 23 other electric vehicles from various segments, the Polestar 3 Long range Dual motor with Performance Pack covered an impressive 531 km on a single charge. This remarkable performance was just 5% short of its official WLTP rating of 561 km – the closest margin of any competitor. In comparison, the next-best vehicle achieved a 9% deviation from its rating, while another rival managed a similar overall distance but fell 24% short of its official figures.
Setting a New Benchmark
The Polestar 3’s result ranks as the second-best ever achieved in this independent test, further solidifying its reputation as a high-performance EV built for real-world conditions. Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller highlighted the significance of the victory:
“We are proud that Polestar 3 wins another big test! Range is an important criterion for customers – and this result underlines that Polestar 3 is a great choice for everybody seeking a luxury experience in an outstanding SUV. We are developing our cars above the Arctic Circle in Sweden, so it’s no surprise for us that Polestar 3 performs better than the competition in challenging conditions.”
The El Prix winter test route demands the best from electric vehicles, with an ascent of approximately 1,000 metres and this year’s added challenge of wet and slippery roads. Yet, the Polestar 3 thrived, showcasing why it is an exceptional choice for those seeking reliability, performance, and luxury in harsh climates.
Expanded Range Options
Polestar is further pushing the boundaries of electric range with its newly introduced Long range Single motor variant, boasting an incredible WLTP rating of 706 km from its 111 kWh battery. Customers also have the option of the Long range Dual motor, which now offers an improved range of up to 567 km for the MY25 version.
The Polestar 3, starting at £69,900, is a perfect fit for drivers seeking premium electric performance without compromise. It combines cutting-edge technology, Scandinavian design, and Polestar’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
