Polestar 3 - Crash & Safety Tests - 2025

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.” 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.

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.
