Exactly three years ago, Polestar opened what they call Polestar Space. in the showroom. For a car brand betting on electrification, it was only natural that it would choose the electric vehicle capital above all else. Namely, Oslo.
Here, Polestar has a building in the middle of downtown. The idea is to be as accessible as possible to those who work or live here – or visit downtown. Here you don’t have to travel out of town to find a traditional auto shop.
In the spring of 2020, the first Polestar 2 was laid in the Kingdom. The rest is history, as the saying goes. From being a completely new and therefore unknown brand, today it is among the well-established brands.
Family SUV: The Polestar 3 is a big car with a length of 4.9 meters and has much of what many Norwegians dream of in an electric vehicle.
New family SUV
Polestar 2 could show great success. There are now more than 10,000 such cars on Norwegian roads. We think some of the success should likely be attributed to the fact that the Chinese auto brand has close ties to Volvo. Thus it is seen as safer and more predictable than many other new brands.
Anyway: Polestar has no intention of resting on its laurels. They have more going on.
First, the large and sporty family SUV which was naturally named 3. Simply because it is the third model from Polestar.

But here, the Polestar came out earlier than the recently shown Volvo model, too. Read more about it here:
Because while Volvo can’t deliver its cars before the second quarter of 2024, the Polestar 3 should be in place within a year. At least if all goes according to plan. Given the public’s interest, let’s hope that’s the case.

Video review
Because while we were at the full-scale world launch in Copenhagen a few weeks ago, the pre-series car is now on a whirlwind visit to show interested parties in Oslo. As you can see from the image above, there were quite a few interested people outside of Polerstar Space, before they opened the doors today.
Another person who made the trip to Oslo to talk about the newcomer is product manager Andreas Andren, who gives us a small review of the car he’s worked on in recent years. See the video below.
