The Tesla Model Y competitor will cost much, much more money.
, but the trio will naturally be cross-shopped, given they're all upscale, two-row midsize all-electric SUVs. But where the Tesla represents surprising value, starting at $45,380 before applicable tax incentives in rear-wheel-drive form and $50,380 in all-wheel-drive Long Range guise—and the Rivian promises a $45,000 base price when it arrives in 2026—the 2025 Polestar 3 costs about what you expect a midsize luxury SUV to cost, electric or otherwise. Which would be more.
For the 2024 model year, the Polestar 3 is only available in Launch Edition forms, which start at $80,300 for the dual-motor Long Range version and $86,300 for the Performance package variant. Polestar has now revealed the MSRPs of the 2025-model-year 3s, which will represent first of the normal, non-Launch-Edition run of electric SUVs.Prices for the 2025 Polestar 3 kick off at $74,800, including $1,400 in destination charges.
Still, the entry-level Polestar 3 costs nearly $25,000 more than the roughly equivalent Model Y Dual Motor Long Range, which delivers 310 miles of range. The next-level-up Polestar 3 with the Performance package starts at $80,800, presenting a similar price premium over the Tesla Model Y Performance trim. The 3 Performance package gets 517 hp, 671 lb-ft of torque, and 279 miles of driving range—the same exact driving range Tesla claims for the Model Y Performance.
Both Polestar 3 variants can be had with an optional Plus package, which adds $5,500 to the price tag along with a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system, wool seats, 21-inch wheels, and heated rear seats. The Pilot package of Lidar- and camera-based safety gear that was a $5,000 option on the Launch Edition Polestar 3s is now standard across the 2025 model year range.
