Polestar Scottsdale - Does the 2025 Polestar 3’s Active Air Suspension Make a Noticeable Difference for Tempe, AZ commutes?

Drivers comparing luxury electric SUVs often wonder whether advanced suspension technology translates into real-world comfort and confidence. For the 2025 Polestar 3, the available dual chamber active air suspension is a centerpiece of its driving character—especially on daily routes that mix highway sections, surface streets, and imperfect pavement around Tempe, AZ. By responding to inputs up to 500 times per second and automatically adjusting ride height to reduce aerodynamic drag at speed, this system aims to soften harshness without losing the precision that makes an SUV feel composed and agile.

Beyond a more serene ride, the active setup works hand-in-hand with the Polestar 3’s balanced chassis and low-mounted 111 kWh battery. The result is stability that remains calm over expansion joints and textured surfaces, with body control that feels reassuring during lane changes or sweeping ramps. For commuters, that can translate into less fatigue and a more consistent, in-control sensation from driveway to destination, even when traffic ebbs and flows across town.

• What it does best: Adapts to road imperfections quickly, reduces vertical motion, and lowers ride height at speed for smooth, efficient cruising.
• How it works with all-wheel drive: Pairs seamlessly with Dual motor traction and true torque vectoring on the rear axle to enhance cornering and straight-line stability.
• Why it matters daily: Provides a quiet, compliant ride while preserving steering accuracy—ideal for mixed commutes and weekend trips.

Inside, the calm carries through. The panoramic roof adds light and airiness, while available Bowers & Wilkins for Polestar brings 25 speakers, 3D Surround Sound, and Dolby Atmos to turn everyday drives into a richer listening experience. Meanwhile, Google built-in simplifies your routine—use Google Assistant to adjust climate, set reminders, or queue up podcasts, and let Google Maps handle EV-minded route planning if you add a detour after work.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the active air suspension standard on every Polestar 3?

The dual chamber active air suspension is engineered for Long range Dual motor variants. Long range Single motor models use sophisticated passive dampers that provide a balanced ride for efficiency-focused drivers.

Will I notice the benefit on smooth highways?

Yes. Even on neatly paved stretches, the system’s ability to lower ride height at speed helps reduce aerodynamic drag, and its fine control over body motion contributes to a calmer cabin—particularly noticeable over expansion joints and bridge seams.

How does it affect handling on ramps or quick maneuvers?

The combination of adaptive damping and, on Dual motor versions, true torque vectoring provides both grip and composure. Turn-in feels precise, and mid-corner bumps are better absorbed, so the vehicle remains planted when traffic demands quick, confident adjustments.

What other features enhance comfort for commutes?

Options like seat heating and ventilation, available massage with the Nappa upgrade, and Active road noise cancellation bundled with Bowers & Wilkins help reduce fatigue. CleanZone® with the Advanced Air Cleaner can also filter fine particles and pollen to support fresher cabin air.
