Software developer at Polestar in Sweden here. It would be cool if you could also review some of the AD/ADAS functionalities when reviewing the cars. I work on the ”autopilot” (called Pilot assist) function and it would be great to hear what the user experience is like :)
That would be great! Does your software also assist in slowing down a car when inside of a zone where children are? Like someone might go 3x the speed limit. It would be great if the car would say: "No! Slow down, Marques!"
Someone at Volvo made that decision and then that's what Polestar had to work with, as the steering wheel and controls are lifted directly from the Volvo EX90.
It is illegal, which is why there is a physical hazard button on the overhead console next to the rear view mirror, along with several other physical buttons that were not mentioned in this review.
why so expensive tho? are they trying to compete with Model S? I mean it explains the minimal interior and all. But man I just feel that most people would prefer a Tesla at that point. If only they undercut and make starting trim at 50K range, I bet it would be way more successful. I almost see like I see 1 polestar on the road in like 2 months. It feels rarer than a Cybertruck lol. Honestly, just look at how well Hyundai Ioniq 5 is doing in the 50k range. People wanting better quality would love to switch to polestar at that price point imo
Uhhhhh. Snowboards? PLUS. If it ain’t big enough to slide 4 skis through it then why have it? Only 2 skis and 2 people then you’re dropping the back seat. So, stfu w your American comments
Yes, and I am sure Marques is aware of that. Hence, his reaction to why the through hole is so small: It will barely fit one pair of skis, not even talking about two or three.
the speaker system verdict alone would make me buy this car since hearing music is one of the things i love the most, that and the amazing design, is just the perfect car for me
One asterisk, if u don’t live somewhere u can sit in one in person... If ur picky enough to wanna tinker with EQ, I know Volvo’s dumbed down their EQ over the years, even with the B&W system. I’d still sit in one before hand, if I could
As a Polestar 2 owner, you could sum it up in a similar way: There are super high highs and super low lows in terms of design. For example, you have dope attention to details such as a curry hook, thigh support, great trunk design, etc., but 1 cup holder? Cheap plastic panels next to premium materials? Dust collecting troughs in the interior? I actually love Polestar, but they do prioritize some really strange design features.
Couple of corrections: -There is no electrochromic roof option for the Polestar 3. That's only an option, currently, on the Polestar 4. -Only the rear motor is ever decoupled while in range mode. In your review you kept referencing both the front and rear motors. -The range is based on the default settings. So for you, in the Performance Pack equipped car, that means both front and rear motors are engaged full time by default. (Car starts in Performance mode) And that's how the EPA rating is determined and what informs the displayed range in the driver's display, along with ambient temps, battery temp, and the last 100-ish miles of driving style. This differs from the non-Performance Pack cars, which start in "Range" mode, so that the rear motor is decoupled most of the time. As a result, those non-Performance Pack cars have a higher EPA rating. However, even in the Performance Pack car, you can select the "Range" mode and essentially get that same higher range (minus a little for the wheel and tire combo). -The sort of taskbar shortcuts are currently not user configurable. They just change depending on whether you're in Park or in Drive. (I hope they do become a user defined option in a future update!)
That weird slot that MKBHD couldn’t figure out what someone might store there would be an ideal place I think for registration and insurance in my opinion.
Polestar should hire this guy for a review of their car before they go into manufacturing the final version because that was quite a good review which I had to agree with, those controls on the centre screen I can see would be quite annoying to go through whilst driving...other than that it is a great looking car.
Geely realized after the acquisition that they basically bought an Audio Company that builds devices called "cars" you get as an add on. Glad to hear the Volvo audio love is still going strong, even as far back as the MilesPerHr or TheTopher Volvo videos that showcase their audio capabilities.
Oh, you'll get used to it e v e n t u a l l y . But beyond "the look" it offers very little of practical use. It really seems to be a mere fashion statement that everyone has decided to copy to fit in.
That pocket underneath the centre console is perfect to store vehicle ownership and insurance papers. I like it! Don't have to worry about going through the centre console hole or glove box.
Just a quick note on the window controls - I honestly don't think it was a cost cutting measure. I think it was an attempt to optimize the user experience. My guess is they figured most of the time the driver just cares about controlling the front windows so that's your default, and if you do need to control the back windows, it's one extra tap and off you go. This is definitely a bit of subjective change, because I personally like it (at least on the surface), but clearly not everyone would. Anyway, I do love what they've done with the car. I wish there were a few more physical controls, and maybe LED labels on those wheel buttons, but otherwise I love the design approach, the aesthetic and the overall look of the car.

@@xapplezapple3453 No, it doesn’t. A spoiler on an airplane has two purposes: 1. Acting as a speed brake and 2. destroying lift on the upper side of the wing to increase weight on the wheels and improve breaking power of the disc brakes.

Hiya! First above all - thanks for creating this great content! Something I noticed is that this constant 180 degrees rotation of the camera you are shooting with at least to me causes a slight dizziness when watching the footage from close.
Great review. One point to note is that although there may be too many touches of the center console to schieve basic stuff like adjusting the climate fan speed etc., if it's acting like my Polestar 2 (and the 3 runs the same Android Automotive Operating Syatem), then there eill be voice commands to do thosec things habds free. Try pressing the voice assistant button on the steering wheel and saying 'increase fan speed'. I do think that Polestar would do well to provide some sort of easy access to a spoken tutorial as to what voice comnands are available to control car functions such as climate.

i feel like 400km of range is good though? like, you're driving for about 4hrs to sap most of it. That sounds like a really great time to get out of the seat and take a half hour rest, no?
It depends. Five minutes to fill in petrol and stretch your legs would be fine. Queueing at the charging station and paying through nose for sub par un healthy snacks is not my cup of tea. Going to my cabin which is 250 km away and no electricity is also not something I look forward to. On the other hand I would happily commute in this daily charging at come.
@@jestingrabbit Depends on where you are. I’m in rural northern Finland. During winter, that range drops to 200km instantly because it’s just too cold. The next city and charger to my town is around 160km away. If it’s a particularly cold day, I’d only barely make it to the next charger-assuming its range estimate is accurate. Some people really need that range.

Well, I happen to own a Polestar 3 since two weeks now. I’m really sorry to have to inform you that I think the drive pilot system is good in some respects but overall it feels unfinished. The good: - lane keeping is decent (my BMW did slightly better, reacting to the road conditions). - adaptive cruise control is nice and smooth, reacts very well to sudden incidents such as cars cutting in front of you The bad: - the distance from the car in front is fixed which is really annoying. In rush hour traffic the cars behind me start tail gating and cutting in front of me because they don’t understand why I keep such a ridiculous distance from the car in front. - There is no feedback from the system on the heads up display. With these kind of systems I feel it is important to always be aware of the status of the system (is it on/off, which speed is set etc) - and the most annoying of all: the car gets mad at me when I look at the screen, even if only for a second or two. Then after a few of these warnings I get punished and the car switches the system off until the next drive. I really hope this feedback finds its way to the right people. It is such a nice car but some things are just unfinished. I hope it’s just that and the missing functionality will be added later.
Would love to see more cars adopt disabling AWD for extended range. It'd be really nice to drive it more efficiently most of the time, and then the minute it starts raining heavily or snowing, just toggle-on AWD for better traction.
A great honest review of an interesting car. I am skeptical not just about this modern marvel of a car, but concerning any space age auto with rubber air bladder suspension, shiny black interior surfaces, complex electrical designs… as to how it will age over time? Will it be mechanically totaled by an aging mechanical component or by a scuffed up interior in 6 or 7 years?
if you guys would see a few classic top gear videos, they had that really tasty way of presenting a new car, they would start with all the bad and terrible things about the thing, so one would have a really negative impression, but then they would move to all the great things about that particular automobile. that was real fun
Gold seat belts - not orange! Polestar has a great lineup of 3 EVs now for sale in 27 countries. The single motor version will have more range - 438 miles WLPT. Price from*: £69,900 Range up to: 438 mi (WLTP) 0-60 mph: 7.5 seconds
In my Polestar I don't ever use the touchscreen for heating the steering wheel or seats, just voice control. Works as a charm. I assume the Polestar 3 has the same functionality
Just noticing this, the ultra-wide camera on the phone is dirty. It looks so different compared to the regular because of that. Always have to clean my phone too because of that
After test driving Polestar 3 , Polestar 4 , Porsche Macan EV , Mercedes EQE , i went to Polestar 4. Polestar is really doing a good job. And no its not a new brand. They were Volvos racing devision many years ago. Polestar 4 had better handling and looke much nicer and felt more nice than the Porsche.
I really just need the price of some of these things to come down in order for them to be a reasonable competitor to an ICE vehicle. My wife has a Bolt because it was competitive, these are so far outside the ballpark that they're basically a novelty.
It's cool to see the features in these videos, but the main thing I'm listening for is the price and some sign that EV prices are dropping. As a bolt owner, I still don't understand how that car existed at its price point relative to essentially every other EV.

Excellent, Polestar 3 is a great looking car just like all the other Polestars. Wish they could market it better.
the back opening in the seats is for ski
OK, but how does it perform when you drive 60+ MPH over the limit through a neighborhood?
How boring🥱
@@Lightbulb_momentsMX1 why is it boring? would 96+ be better?
man shut up
Dude you’re so lame. Go to some other comments section, OR better yet, get a life.
MKBHD is a great guy, and he made a mistake, so what, no one got hurt. I hate how people here act like they’ve never done anything wrong.
Software developer at Polestar in Sweden here. It would be cool if you could also review some of the AD/ADAS functionalities when reviewing the cars. I work on "autopilot" (called Pilot assist) function and would be great to hear what user experience is like :)
Well, I happen to own a Polestar 3 since two weeks now. I’m really sorry to have to inform you that I think the drive pilot system is good in some respects but overall it feels unfinished.
The good:
- lane keeping is decent (my BMW did slightly better, reacting to the road conditions).
- adaptive cruise control is nice and smooth, reacts very well to sudden incidents such as cars cutting in front of you
The bad:
- the distance from the car in front is fixed which is really annoying. In rush hour traffic the cars behind me start tail gating and cutting in front of me because they don’t understand why I keep such a ridiculous distance from the car in front.
- There is no feedback from the system on the heads up display. With these kind of systems I feel it is important to always be aware of the status of the system (is it on/off, which speed is set etc)
- and the most annoying of all: the car gets mad at me when I look at the screen, even if only for a second or two. Then after a few of these warnings I get punished and the car switches the system off until the next drive.
I really hope this feedback finds its way to the right people. It is such a nice car but some things are just unfinished. I hope it’s just that and the missing functionality will be added later.
@hewy6929 thanks for your feedback. We will try to address the issues in the next software updates.
You forgot to mention the 0-96 mph time
4:25 ayoo that speed limit on the HUD💀
Hopefully it can accelerate fast...
How much damn money do they save with these cheap digital “buttons”
Are you some kind of beancounter?
Would love to see more cars adopt disabling AWD for extended range. It'd be really nice to drive it more efficiently most of the time, and then the minute it starts raining heavily or snowing, just toggle-on AWD for better traction.
MKBHD is a chill guy
$97k MSRP in Canada... I would rather go and get 2 yo used Porsche Taycan for that price.
And they've got a lot of them for your to choose from, from what I hear.
@@cbotten106not surprised, who wants to pay that much for a sub compact SUV. Honestly, you can get KIA EV9 for that price and $15k for a change
Iam here for teh speed jokes
So entertaining to see his unwavering distrust of birds.
I'm in the comments faster than MKBHD through a school zone
How original
Honestly bro. it's old now. if you don't like the video, Don't watch it
Cringe
😴 BORING.
Soft
A great honest review of an interesting car. I am skeptical not just about this modern marvel of a car, but concerning any space age auto with rubber air bladder suspension, shiny black interior surfaces, complex electrical designs… as to how it will age over time? Will it be mechanically totaled by an aging mechanical component or by a scuffed up interior in 6 or 7 years?
I genuinely don't understand how this guy still has a license.
He did say NY/NJ area right? Fuhgeddaboudit!
if you guys would see a few classic top gear videos, they had that really tasty way of presenting a new car, they would start with all the bad and terrible things about the thing, so one would have a really negative impression, but then they would move to all the great things about that particular automobile. that was real fun
clicked this video faster than mbkhd in a school zone
Gold seat belts - not orange! Polestar has a great lineup of 3 EVs now for sale in 27 countries. The single motor version will have more range - 438 miles WLPT.
Price from*: £69,900 Range up to: 438 mi (WLTP) 0-60 mph: 7.5 seconds
Looks yellow to me
How long does it take to reach 96 mph?
Let it rest
@@goosieschills8218 i dont know if letting it rest and ignoring it just for it to pretend like it never happened it the right thing?
polestar sounds like the perfect $tripper mobile
Starts at $67k?!
These automakers execs are on a different strain of weed.
It looks nice. Looking forward to see the Polestar 5 in a couple of years
In my view, the design line of all Polestar cars is amazing, interior and exterior they just look great!
Price start around 67,000.00 !
MPHD back with another video
Unlabeled capacitive buttons and a starting price of $60K, no thank you.
Yes but can it go 95 in a school zone?
🥱
This is not even original, it's just sad
3:11 ok ill give them that, never seen bezels that thin on a mirror before.
Marques just unlocked Volvo XC60
In my Polestar I don't ever use the touchscreen for heating the steering wheel or seats, just voice control. Works as a charm. I assume the Polestar 3 has the same functionality
"I love driving 96 in 30"-MKBHD
Just noticing this, the ultra-wide camera on the phone is dirty. It looks so different compared to the regular because of that. Always have to clean my phone too because of that
Give him a brake guys
After test driving Polestar 3 , Polestar 4 , Porsche Macan EV , Mercedes EQE , i went to Polestar 4.
Polestar is really doing a good job. And no its not a new brand. They were Volvos racing devision many years ago.
Polestar 4 had better handling and looke much nicer and felt more nice than the Porsche.
I really just need the price of some of these things to come down in order for them to be a reasonable competitor to an ICE vehicle. My wife has a Bolt because it was competitive, these are so far outside the ballpark that they're basically a novelty.
Same
It's cool to see the features in these videos, but the main thing I'm listening for is the price and some sign that EV prices are dropping. As a bolt owner, I still don't understand how that car existed at its price point relative to essentially every other EV.
Minimalist material is just marketing for cost savings imo and they are absolute deal breakers...
Went straight to the comments
I really like the Polestar cars!
I drove the Polestar 2 for 6 days in Norway and it was awesome
Actually, you didn’t but thanks for the lie
@@RONderluck Why wouldn't he have done that? The Polestar 2 is a regular car in the Nordics, you see them everywhere.
But can it hit 96 mph?
