  • Polestar 3 awarded 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating with overall 87% safety rating.
  • Protection for both adult and child occupants, as well as comprehensive suite of safety systems contributed to strong Safety Assist category score.
  • The Polestar 3 achieved a score of 93% for child occupant protection, the highest score of any passenger car tested by Euro NCAP over the past nine years
  • Adult occupant score was 90%, child occupant 93%, vulnerable road users 79% and safety assist systems 83%.
  • Second vehicle in Polestar’s current line-up to be awarded top rating.

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.

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.

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.”

Euro NCAP Polestar 3

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.

Dr. Aled Williams, Programme Director at Euro NCAP, says “The Polestar 3’s performance in the Child Occupant tests is tantalisingly close to a perfect score and shows how a commitment to the safety of all occupants can pay off in providing outstanding protection in the event of an accident. Car makers continue to rise to the challenge of making our vehicles and roads safer, and Polestar deserves recognition for setting a new standard, no matter how small the improvement may seem.”

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.

Euro NCAP Polestar 3

Sharing expertise with Volvo Cars, the Polestar 3 is designed with the latest structural innovations and advanced driver assistance systems already in place. Post Impact Braking and Protection and a Direct Assistance call system take care of occupants in the event of a crash, while the Driver Monitoring System (DMS) tracks the driver’s eye and head movements in case of tiredness or illness, and brings the vehicle to a controlled stop if required. Meanwhile, an array of sensors, cameras and radars – housed in the innovative SmartZone on the car’s nose and other exterior areas – warn drivers of preventable incidents and assist in mitigating against an impact.   

Achieving a remarkable score of 90% for adult occupant protection and 93% for protecting child occupants, the Polestar 3 continued to impress with the care it took of vulnerable road users (79%), while the advanced safety systems received a mark of 83% in the tests. All of the above contributed to the car’s five-star rating.
