htmlOn October 12, the first pure electric SUV of the Polestar brand - Polestar 3 was launched globally. The new car has two versions, with prices of 880,000 yuan and 1.03 million yuan respectively. The new car is equipped with a 111 kWh lithium battery, and the maximum CLTC operating condition is 670 kilometers. Polestar 3 will make its debut in China at the Shanghai Auto Show in April next year, and will be the first to start production in China's Chengdu factory in mid-next year, and is expected to start the first batch of delivery in the fourth quarter of the same year.
Judging from the official data, Polestar 3 still has strong competitiveness, whether it is power, battery life or intelligence level, but the starting price of 880,000 yuan will undoubtedly discourage many people. After all, it is difficult for users at this price to accept a 5-seat pure electric SUV with a length of less than five meters.
Maximum range 670 kilometers
For the Chinese market, Polestar 3 has launched two versions of the car, namely the dual-motor long-range version and the dual-motor high-performance version. The batteries and motors on both models are the same, but have been adjusted differently. Among them, the dual-motor long-range version can provide a maximum power of 360 kilowatts (kW) and a maximum torque of of 840 Nm (Nm). The high-performance version of the dual motor can reach a maximum power of 380 kilowatts (kW) and a maximum torque of 910 Nm (Nm). The fastest acceleration time is 4.7 seconds, which is still slower than the NIO ES7.
In addition, both versions of Polestar 3 come with an adjustable single pedal mode standard. At the same time, in order to reduce power consumption under low power, the rear motor has the decoupling function, allowing the vehicle to operate on the front motor.
The 111 kWh (kWh) large-capacity battery pack configured by Polestar 3 gives Polestar 3 a maximum range of 670 kilometers under CLTC conditions. The lithium battery uses a prism battery cell and is housed in an aluminum protective case with boron steel reinforcement and liquid cooling. The battery pack is equipped with a heat pump system standard to help Polestar 3 use ambient heat for temperature regulation and battery pretreatment. Polestar 3 is also equipped with a two-way charging and discharging function, which may realize inter-charge and external discharge of vehicle networks in the future, which is a function that Tesla does not have.
In addition, Polestar has always emphasized handling and sports. Although it is an SUV, it also comes with an adaptive dual-chamber air suspension and active shock absorber standard, allowing the vehicle to dynamically adjust from a comfortable state to a sporty driving state, flexibly adjust the softness and hardness of the shock absorber, and adjust the shock absorber at a frequency of two milliseconds (500 Hz) to adapt to different road conditions.
and partners to work on intelligent
In terms of smart cockpit and intelligent driving, Polestar also showed its strength this time, and it is not inferior to new forces in terms of hardware. Polestar 3's infotainment system will be built on the new generation of " Snapdragon digital cockpit platform". The Snapdragon Digital Chassis consists of a complete set of open and scalable cloud connection platforms. The "Snapdragon Digital Cockpit Platform" is its core component. Its high computing power performance will provide users with an immersive in-car experience, including high-definition display, high-quality surround sound effects and seamlessly connect with mobile phones and other devices.
Polestar 3's 14.5-inch central control large screen, built-in car operating system jointly developed with Google - native Android car system. Polestar 2 was once the first model in the world to be equipped with native Android car system. Polestar 3 has evolved on this basis, optimizing the car's functions and HMI design, and also has OTA upgrade function, upgrading its own vehicle software and functions, which is often used and always new. In addition, for the Chinese market, Polestar will cooperate with iFLYTEK , Gaode map, Huawei application market, NetEase Cloud Music , etc. to provide a rich in-car interconnection experience.
In terms of intelligent driving, Polestar has joined hands with partners such as Zenseact, Luminar, and Smart Eye to jointly develop advanced driving assistance system . Polestar 3 is the first model under Polestar to use NVIDIA DRIVE (NVIDIA DRIVE) central processor, providing high computing power support for intelligent driving.
assisted driving package (Pilot Pack) with lidar includes lidar from Luminar and additional control units provided by Nvidia, and adds 3 cameras, 4 ultrasonic sensor , front and rear view camera cleaning functions, which can provide real-time detection of the vehicle's surrounding environment (especially for long distances). The vehicle can perform more comprehensive 3D scanning of the surrounding environment. Judging from the current published information, this system needs to be optional.
In the car, Polestar 3 introduced Smart for the first time. Eye's advanced eye tracking technology, providing two closed-loop driver status surveillance cameras. By capturing the driver's eyes, it monitors whether the driver is distracted and tired of driving. The system can send warning signals, sounds and even trigger emergency braking functions. It is not possible to know whether this system will have Xiaopeng problems. When the driver's eyes are small, the system misreads that the driver is dozing off.
Exterior and interior adopt minimalist design style
In the era of electric vehicles, major brands will not launch high and low-end models like fuel vehicles, but will distinguish them by battery life. Therefore, the configuration is basically unified, that is, the first launch is the top-end one. All versions of Polestar 3 are equipped with air suspension, panoramic sunroof, full LED lights inside and outside, hidden door handles with proximity sensing, 21-inch alloy wheels, Baohua Weijian (Bowers & Wilkins) audio system, Dolby Atmos surround sound, electric suction door , HUD head-up display system and Pilot Assist pilot assist, etc.
Polestar 3 is developed and built based on the brand's new pure electric vehicle platform, adopting a new aerodynamic appearance design, and at the same time focusing on retaining the classic features of the SUV. The overall feeling makes people feel very futuristic. The Polestar 3 car has a length of 4900mm and a wheelbase of 2985mm, which is about the same size as that of NIO ES7. The interior materials of
Polestar 3 are all made of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, including bio-environmental material MicroTech, leather certified by animal welfare standards and fully traceable wool products. In terms of design, it is still in a minimalist style and looks very stylish. Polestar 3 will use a new generation of active and passive safety technology, including innovative in-car radar sensors, which can accurately and sensitively monitor the tiniest movements of the sub-millimeter level, preventing infants or pets from being accidentally locked in the car. The system is also connected to the in-car air conditioning system to avoid passengers' heat stroke or hypothermia.
In general, compared with Polestar 1 and Polestar 2, Polestar 3 is expected to become a popular model. Whether in terms of design or intelligence, the price starting from 880,000 yuan does not necessarily discourage many people. After all, there are too many models available at this price. In comparison, the competitiveness and reputation of the Polestar brand are not particularly strong!
