At least the entertainment system looks a little better. I never liked that 4 window design on the main screen. I don't mind the look of the Polestar's but its charging rate and range have never been anything spectacular.

Polestar 2 Std. Range tapped out at 133Kw and Long Range at 151Kw

Genuine question: I’m familiar with megapixels as they relate to CCD sensors in cameras and the like, but what does this mean for … headlights?

They didn’t mention LiDar in that price, so they may be introduce as autonomous addon package later next year?

I like the back, it reminds of 1990s Honda CRX.

My son said it look better than Model-Y, Model-Y look like an egg.

Just sounds high tech with million+ micro mirrors.

They added soft close door like Lucid Air. One thing Air doesn’t have here is Heads Up Display. I hope Gravity does it too at luxury level.
 
"Luxury is about how space feels."

I dig that idea.

I was not a fan of Polestar 2. And I don't like SUVs. But this looks good. The design language of Polestar is much better suited to an SUV, for sure.
 
I personally think Polestar 3 competition is Model-Y and Gravity is the next level luxury competing with Model-X.

This is my biggest wish, hardware wise. I love the center cockpit panel, but I do wish for a HUD. They never promised it, but a boy can wish. :)

I didn’t like that part either. My son who is generation Minecraft thinks it’s good functional minimalism.

He told me his Polestar 2 sound system went out the other day. He has to search online and found how to reboot the software because in and out of car to turn off car didn’t reboot for him. 😂 After 67,000 cars deliveries, Polestars 2 still have that issue, Lucid Air has hope then. 😆
 
I’m disappointed. 400V architecture. 300 mile range. Can’t order LiDAR until 2023. It’s not looking that great or unique.

Efficiency estimate is 2.8 mi/kWh. Not Rivian level but still I expected better.

I used to say I would never buy another car without a HUD (My current and prior cars had/have it). The Lucid is the exception as the cockpit panel is almost a HUD. But I would still like a HUD and would pay for it as an option.
 
I was also disappointed with the 400V pack, and 300 mile range (some of that due to SUV's tall profile and high ground clearance). Sounds like Polestar won't allow ordering of the Lidar option until the software is ready. Hoping the Poelstar 4 will be more desirable to replace my wife's car in 18 months. So I'll be taking delivery of my AGT after all.
 

Already a review in 24 hours?!

Anyway, I think interior is modern and posh, better much looking than Polestar 2 with redesigned gear shifting stalk instead of center console shifter knob.

Outside look very much like other crossovers on the market. Subjectively, it is still way better looking than BMW iX and Cadillac Lyriq.

My top tier SUV choices are still R1S, Model-X, or upcoming Gravity. I want that 3rd row seats!!!

So this Polestar 3, my family will pass.

We have three cars with HUDs. The oldest is a 2018 Navigator. At first, I thought that it was a gimmick but now when I get in the Lucid, I miss it. The best one we have is in the AMG EQS. The NAV data in the HUD is spectacular.
