All examples of the Polestar 3 are also said to come with a full-length panoramic glass roof here.
But opt for the the Plus Pack and Pilot Pack and you’ll also get to enjoy features including a 25-speaker audio system from Bowers and Wilkins with 3D surround sound and Dolby Atmos capability, soft-closing doors, a head-up display and Pilot Assist.
