polestar will further expand its lineup next year with a new model called the polestar 3. the company describes it as an "aerodynamic performance electric suv," which makes us think it will be styled like suv "coupes" such as the bmw x4 or mercedes glc coupe. it will ride on a new volvo ev platform, and a teaser photo gives a hint at its silhouette.
notably, the polestar 3 will be the ev subbrand's first model to be built in the u.s. production is scheduled to start sometime in 2022 at volvo's new plant in south carolina, which currently builds the s60 sedan and will soon start building the next-generation xc90 suv.
the 3 will follow the polestar 1, a plug-in-hybrid coupe that recently ended production, and the polestar 2, an electric hatchback currently on sale that starts at $61,200. polestar has also said it plans to build a production version of the precept concept, a larger flagship sedan with advanced driver-assistance features.
look for more information on the polestar 3 to come later this year. it will likely go on sale in the u.s. in late 2022 as a 2023 model.
