59% Informative

The Polestar 3 shares the same platform, motors, layout and technology as the Volvo EX90.

The EX90 makes 402 horsepower and 568 foot-pounds of torque on the base model, stepping up to 510 hp and 671 lb-ft in the Twin Motor Performance trim.

Even without the Lidar , it has a comprehensive set of sensors, including a 360-degree camera, ultrasonic sensors for parking and even active driver monitoring.

The in-car experience is dominated by a 14.5-inch portrait touchscreen.

The Polestar 3 is much more aggressive, from the cheeky wing on the hood to the pronounced fenders at the rear.

Despite being roughly the same size, it looks far more svelte and offers a fair bit more character than the Volvo EX90.

The steering is wonderfully sharp, if a bit numb, paired with engaging handling for a machine of this stature.
