The Polestar 3 is getting a massive tech boost for 2026

Polestar has unveiled a major upgrade to its flagship SUV, the Polestar 3. The 2026 model brings faster charging, more power and significantly greater computing muscle.

The Swedish-based, Chinese-owned performance brand has introduced an all-new 800V electrical architecture, which allows peak DC charging rates of up to 350 kW. That means the benchmark 10 to 80 per cent top-up can now take as little as 22 minutes – more than 25 per cent faster than before.
