The Polestar 3 has achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating in the latest round of tests by the independent body. With a series of vehicle tests across four classifications – Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Vulnerable Road Users and Safety Assist – the Polestar 3 received five stars for all categories and an 87% score overall.<br />The European New Car Assessment Program has been certifying vehicle safety test results since 1997 and only awards five stars – the highest accolade possible – to cars that demonstrate an overall excellent performance in crash protection and are well equipped with state-of-the-art crash avoidance technology.<br />Lutz Stiegler, Polestar CTO, says “With a shared safety DNA with Volvo Cars there was no doubt in our minds how safe Polestar 3 is, and this five-star Euro NCAP rating simply reinforces that. And for us, safety is an inherent part of the Polestar performance ethos, so Polestar 3 customers can be safe in the knowledge our flagship SUV is fun and exciting to drive and takes care of them, and the people around them, at the same time.”<br />In the child protection category, the Polestar 3 proved of particular note, achieving 93% in that individual category – the highest score of any passenger car tested by Euro NCAP over the past nine years.<br />Building on the previous five-star rating achieved by Polestar 2 in 2021, the Polestar 3 is the second car in the brand’s current line-up to undergo testing – and receive top honours – by Euro NCAP.
