Polestar 3 review - Boot space, practicality & boot dimensions

The Polestar 3 is a large SUV, so it boasts a lot of interior space. Rear passengers are spoilt for legroom, and despite its low sloping roofline there’s a lot of headroom too. The standard-fit panoramic roof on Launch Edition models makes the car feel even airier. There’s loads of storage space dotted around the cabin, too – between the front seats there’s a 32-litre compartment, and the door bins are generously sized. There are two cupholders up front and two in the back which pop out of the centre armrest.

Does the Polestar 3 have a big boot?

The Polestar 3’s boot is not quite as generous as that of the closely-related Volvo EX90, which offers seating for seven and boasts 655 litres of space with its third row of seats folded down. The BMW iX boasts 500 litres and the Mercedes EQE SUV offers up to 520 litres. While those all trump the Polestar 3’s 484-litre figure, it’s still a very usable size, and folding the seats down will free up 1,411 litres. A useful feature is the way the Polestar 3’s ride height can be lowered by 50mm via some buttons in the boot that control the air suspension, making loading in heavier items much easier.

Lift up the boot floor and the Polestar 3 also has quite a bit of underfloor storage, along with an extra 32 litres of space under the bonnet. While this ‘frunk’ isn’t likely to be very handy for shopping, it’s a good place to keep dirty or wet charging cables out of the way and makes them easy to access even when the boot is fully loaded.

Is the Polestar 3 a good tow car?

The Polestar 3 is a fairly capable tow car, and both Long Range Dual Motor versions are capable of hauling a trailer of up to 2,200kg in weight – plenty for a large caravan. It’s not yet confirmed how much the upcoming single-motor variant will be capable of towing.
