According to the automaker, the early production test series has been successfully completed, and the model is slated to kick off assembly this summer in South Carolina, USA. This move will help the company's growth ambitions worldwide, and the 3 is the first Polestar to be made on two continents.
"This stunning car takes a significant step forward with start of production, marking an important milestone on our journey from a one- to three-car company this year," said CEO Thomas Ingenlath. "We have also achieved launch readiness at the factory in Ridgeville, South Carolina, and are well on track with our plans to start manufacturing Polestar 3 in the USA."
Unveiled over a year ago, the 3 is Polestar's largest vehicle. It measures 192.9 inches (4,900 mm) from bumper to bumper, is 83.5 inches (2,120 mm) wide, and 63.5 inches (1,614 mm) tall, with a 117.5 inches (2,985 mm) long wheelbase. This makes it about as big as a Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5, and other premium mid-size crossovers.
