Polestar Scottsdale - Long range Single motor or Dual motor — which 2025 Polestar 3 suits Chandler, AZ driving best?

Choosing a 2025 Polestar 3 that truly fits daily life near Chandler, AZ comes down to how and where you drive. Our team at Polestar Scottsdale helps local shoppers decide between Long range Single motor and Long range Dual motor configurations by focusing on range needs, road conditions, and the balance of comfort and performance across the East Valley.

Polestar 3 is the SUV that drives like a sports car, and each powertrain delivers that experience in its own way. Long range Single motor emphasizes efficiency with rear-wheel drive, sophisticated BWI passive dampers, and an EPA-estimated range up to 350 miles. Long range Dual motor adds all-wheel drive, true torque vectoring on the rear axle, and available dual chamber active air suspension that reads the road up to 500 times per second. For Chandler commutes across Loop 202 and I-10, weekend runs into the foothills, and monsoon-season traction, the right choice depends on your priorities.

Let’s put the numbers in context for Chandler, AZ driving. Long range Single motor delivers 220 kW/299 hp and 361 lb-ft of torque with a 0-60 mph time of 7.5 seconds. Long range Dual motor steps up to 360 kW/489 hp and 620 lb-ft with a 0-60 mph time of 4.8 seconds, while Long range Dual motor with Performance pack increases output to 380 kW/517 hp and 671 lb-ft for 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. All variants use a 111 kWh battery and support rapid public charging from 10-80 percent in about 30 minutes at a compatible 250 kW DC fast charger, with typical home charging from 0-100 percent in about 11 hours on 11 kW AC.

For many Chandler commuters, the Single motor’s extended range and rear-drive balance feel ideal for daily errands in Ocotillo, school runs in Fulton Ranch, and longer trips to Tucson or Flagstaff. Those who split time between surface streets and higher-speed freeway segments may prefer the Dual motor’s confident traction and available active air suspension that lowers ride height at speed to reduce drag, fortifying stability in crosswinds on the Price Road Corridor.

Beyond performance, both powertrains benefit from Polestar 3’s Scandinavian interior, available perforated Nappa leather in Zinc, Charcoal, or Jupiter, and CleanZone® air quality with the available Advanced Air Cleaner that filters 95 percent of harmful particles, 97 percent of viruses, and 99.9 percent of pollen. Google built-in connects your routes, voice assistance, and apps with battery-minded planning via Google Maps. For audiophiles, the available Bowers & Wilkins for Polestar system adds Dolby Atmos, Active road noise cancellation, and Abbey Road Studios Mode to transform the daily drive into an immersive studio experience.
