Polestar Scottsdale - Google built-in in the 2025 Polestar 3 makes road trips simpler around Gilbert, AZ
For many drivers around Gilbert, AZ, the comfort of a smart, seamless drive is just as important as performance. That’s where Google built-in in the 2025 Polestar 3 shines. Because the infotainment system runs on Android Automotive OS with a Polestar-developed interface, native Google Maps integrates battery-minded route planning that accounts for state of charge, temperature, and topography. Instead of juggling charging apps or guessing where you’ll stop, you see live station availability and estimated arrival charge right on the 14.5-inch center display, backed by voice support from Google Assistant. Whether you’re tracing the 202 along the Salt River, planning a weekend loop toward Tonto National Forest, or heading southwest for a quick visit with friends, the Polestar 3 keeps every turn and charge transparent.
Daily life benefits, too. Simple voice commands manage climate, seat heaters, or your media, and the system understands natural requests—just ask for a coffee stop along your route or set a reminder for a school pickup. Over-the-air updates mean new features arrive without a service visit, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity keep your favorite apps close. Add the optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system with Dolby Atmos, 25 speakers, and Active Road Noise Cancellation, and your soundtrack feels precisely tuned to the Polestar 3’s quiet, acoustically laminated cabin. The result is an SUV that feels like an extension of your digital life rather than another device to master.
Google built-in also dovetails with the Polestar 3’s broader technology story. The SmartZone™ sensor suite supports advanced driver assistance features like Adaptive Cruise Control and available Pilot Assist, while interior radars and cameras help monitor driver attentiveness and detect occupants left in the cabin. In real-world terms, that translates to fewer mental tabs open on your next road trip—navigation anticipates your needs, the SUV helps you maintain smooth traffic pacing, and the cabin stays calm, even on busier corridors.
Planning a family drive? Set your destination, check the projected state of charge at arrival, and let the route display fast chargers along I-10 or US-60. You can cue up a playlist, call out a detour, or ask for alternate routes if traffic gets heavy—without taking your hands off the wheel. If you opt for the Plus pack, the Advanced Air Cleaner within CleanZone® filters out particulates and pollen to keep the cabin fresh across long stretches of desert air, and the panoramic roof brightens the space while reducing UV.
