Is the Polestar 3 a BMW iX beater?

Has the Swedish marque pulled a blinder with its latest electric SUV?

What do you get if you combine svelte Swedish design, slick Silicon Valley software and a progressive powertrain? You get the Polestar 3.

But is it enough? Sam Sheehan reviews the Polestar 3 to find out whether these three elements come together to make one of the most compelling electric crossovers or just another forgettable white good.

Aerodynamics play a huge role in the design and range of the Polestar 3 but not to the detriment of its visual appearance. It manages to pack many aerodynamic features to improve its range while looking better than other cars in its category such as the Tesla Model Y and the BMW iX.

In this review, Sam breaks down the exterior design features as well as the clever interior design that makes it really useful (you need to see the neat trick with the boot floor).
