A trailer changes what you ask of an SUV. You want to know what it can pull, how the hitch works, and how the rest of the vehicle behaves once the rig is hooked up. Here are the practical answers for the 2027 Polestar 3.

Quebec drivers with a boat, camper or gear trailer will find the towing story is simple. Both versions share the same rating, and the hitch is a single, clear option.

How Much Can the 2027 Polestar 3 Tow?

Both the Dual motor and the Performance version are rated to tow up to 4,850 lbs (2,200 kg). The rating does not change when you step up in power, so you choose the version for how you want to drive, not for how much you can pull.

The Dual motor makes 544 hp (400 kW) and 546 lb-ft of torque. The Performance version makes 680 hp (500 kW) and 642 lb-ft. Extra torque helps a loaded rig pull away from a stop, but the trailer limit stays the same.

Is the Tow Hardware Standard, and How Does It Work?

The retractable semi-electric towbar hitch is a single option, not standard equipment. You add it when you order the SUV, and it stays out of sight the rest of the time.

That matters for daily use. The Polestar 3 keeps a clean rear end for the commute and grocery runs, and the hitch is there when the trailer is. The power soft-close tailgate with foot sensor also helps when your hands are full of straps and gear.

What Supports Towing Stability?

All-wheel drive is standard, with a motor driving each axle. Weight distribution is 49% front and 51% rear on both versions, so the SUV sits balanced before anything is hooked up.

Ground clearance is 202 mm front and rear, which helps on gravel boat ramps and rutted campground roads. The turning circle is 11.8 m, useful when you are manoeuvring in a tight lot.

Which Version Suits Trailer Use?

The Dual motor is the practical choice for regular trailering. It offers the longer range at 502 km, against 452 km for the Performance version, and it rides on 21-inch all-season tires.

The Performance version adds 3.9-second acceleration to 100 km/h and 22-inch summer tires. It suits drivers who want maximum power and will tow only occasionally.

How Does Charging Fit a Trip With a Trailer?

The 106 kWh, 800 V battery accepts DC fast charging up to 350 kW, and a 10 to 80% charge takes 22 minutes on a 350 kW charger. On a 120 kW charger the same stretch takes 32 minutes.

Access to both CCS and NACS public charging networks is included. NACS adapters are available for purchase. At home, the 11 kW onboard charger fills the battery from empty in 10 hours on AC.

What About Cargo, Seating and Storage?

The Polestar 3 seats five across two rows. Behind the rear seats you get 597 L measured to the roof, including a 90 L underfloor compartment. Fold the seats and that grows to 1,411 L.

The rear seats split 60/40 and include a ski hatch, so long gear rides inside while passengers keep their seats. A foldable load floor comes with the Plus pack, which is included as standard. There is also a rear roller cover and a 23.8 L front storage compartment for cables and small items.

What Helps With Hitching and Manoeuvring?

The Pilot pack is included as standard and brings 360° cameras with 3D view and Park assist pilot. Five exterior cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a front radar feed the system, and the rear-view camera cleans itself.

Adaptive Cruise Control, Pilot Assist, Lane change assist and Curve speed assist are also standard. Blind Spot Information with steer assist and Cross Traffic Alert with brake support cover the moments when you are backing out with a long rig behind you.

A Driver Monitoring System uses two infrared interior cameras and stores no data.

Which Cold-Weather Features Are Included?

The Climate pack is included as standard. It adds heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and heated front wiper blades, on top of the standard heated front seats.

A heat pump and climate timers come with the 3-zone climate system. A cold Quebec morning at the boat launch starts with a warm wheel and clear glass.

Choosing Your Polestar 3 for Towing

Start with how often the trailer comes along. For regular towing and long days, the Dual motor’s 502 km of range and all-season tires make the everyday case. For a driver who wants 680 hp and tows now and then, the Performance version fits.

Then add the retractable towbar, since it is the one piece of tow hardware offered as an option. Everything else that supports a trailer day is already standard: the cameras, the driver aids and the heated features.

The 2027 Polestar 3 as Your Tow Vehicle
