The Polestar 3 is for those who crave style and sustainability in equal measure.
Snappy acceleration · Eco-friendly materials
Confusing digital controls · Base model lacks punch
The 2026 Polestar 3 defines itself with a blend of Scandinavian minimalism and eco-conscious design. Its snappy acceleration and responsive handling make it a joy on winding roads, while the interior's eco-friendly materials are a nod to the future of luxury. What surprised us most is how well it balances performance with comfort, but the digital controls can be a chore when you're trying to adjust settings on the fly. This is a car for drivers who want to make a statement every time they hit the road, not just go from A to B.
Our pick: Long Range Dual Motor Plus ($80,300)
vs. 2026 BMW i5: While the Polestar 3 impresses with its design and eco-credentials, the BMW i5 edges ahead with its established brand cachet and slightly more engaging driving dynamics.
