Polestar 3 with LiDAR is now available to order, Polestar 5 will have LiDAR too
Today Polestar announced a renewed partnership with Luminar. The Polestar 3 is now available to order with integrated LiDAR tech supplied by Luminar, and there will be a Luminar-made LiDAR option for the upcoming Polestar 5 too, when that launches.
The Polestar 5 is a 4-door GT which is expected to become official in 2024, and is based on the Precept concept that was shown a while ago.
Luminar is supplying the LiDAR tech for the Polestar 3 "via Volvo Cars", and if you order one of these today you should apparently expect delivery sometime next year. If you order the LiDAR-less Polestar 3, then deliveries will start in the last quarter of 2023, so between October and December.
Orders are starting today only in Europe and North America - Australia will follow "slightly later in February", while China will have to wait until mid-April, the company explains.
Polestar 3 with LiDARIf Polestar cars are sold in your country but it's not in Europe or North America, and also isn't Australia or China, then you'll unfortunately have to wait until a later date to be able to order the LiDAR-enhanced Polestar 3.
Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said: "Luminar is at the forefront of long-range LiDAR technology and this closer collaboration will allow for greater innovation in our cars to come. We look forward to combining our R&D and product design expertise to deliver truly stunning LiDAR integration and capabilities for the Polestar brand".
