Anticipation builds as the Polestar 3 is set for delivery in the U.S. starting this summer. We’ve recently had the opportunity to test drive this electric midsize SUV. The vehicle presents an eye-catching Swedish design, has a five-person seating capacity, and can generate up to 517 horsepower. However, there’s plenty more to admire about the Polestar 3.
Swiss-based electric vehicle startup Piech, initiated by Ferdinand Piech’s son, is moving forward with the launch of its initial sports car model. Initially set to release this year, the vehicle’s launch has been postponed to 2028 following a significant overhaul.
Rivian has unveiled new versions of its R1S and R1T, claiming the title for the fastest SUV and pickup available for purchase. Equipped with an optional quad-motor powertrain that delivers more than 1,000 hp, these vehicles can go from 0-60 mph in under 2.5 seconds, putting them in the same league as the Bugatti Chiron hypercar in terms of speed.
