New single-motor Polestar 3 SUV starts at $67,500, orders open now

The Swedish automaker has added an entry-level version of the Polestar 3.

Polestar’s range expands a little more today. The Swedish spinoff announced that it is opening its order books for a cheaper, longer-range version of the Polestar 3 electric SUV that rather impressed us when we drove it earlier this year. The Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor will cost $67,500—well under the price cap for the IRS clean vehicle tax credit, for which it qualifies, as it is built in South Carolina.

Dropping the front motor/generator unit means that the Polestar 3 LRSM is a good deal less powerful than the Long Range Dual Motor version we’ve driven, but 296 hp (220 kW) and 361 lb-ft (489 Nm) should ensure that while it isn’t as fast, it shouldn’t be any kind of slouch.

And the boost in range should more than make up for any increase in 0-60 times. The Polestar 3 LRSM can go 350 miles (563 km) on a single charge of the 111 kWh battery, compared to 315 miles (507 km) for the Polestar 3 LRDM.
