Polestar Scottsdale - Why Active Air Suspension and Immersive Sound Make Polestar 3 Shine in Scottsdale, AZ
When an SUV blends precise, adaptable ride control with studio-grade audio, everyday driving becomes something you’ll look forward to. Polestar 3 brings a dual chamber active air suspension that adjusts 500 times a second and an available Bowers & Wilkins system with 1,610 watts, 25 speakers, Dolby Atmos, and Abbey Road Studios Mode—two features that change how you connect with the road and your music. For desert highways, canyon curves, and city streets, this pairing gives drivers around Scottsdale, AZ a compelling reason to choose Polestar’s luxury EV.
Start with the suspension. On dual-motor variants, sensors constantly read the road, vehicle inputs, and driver commands, adapting damping and ride height in near-real time. At speed, the system lowers the body to reduce aerodynamic drag and stabilize the chassis; at slower paces, it can soften or sharpen the ride to match conditions. Selectable settings—Standard, Nimble, or Firm—let you tune the experience. Add true torque vectoring on the rear axle, and the result is confidence sweeping through on-ramps and composed control when pavement turns choppy. It’s the kind of technology that makes long trips feel shorter and daily commutes less routine.
Now add sound worthy of the drive. The available Bowers & Wilkins for Polestar system—tied to the Plus pack—brings spatial audio via Dolby Atmos, headrest speakers for both front seats, and active road noise cancellation that reduces the intrusion of wind and tire roar without masking critical sounds like sirens. Abbey Road Studios Mode goes deeper, offering distinct acoustic presets and a Producer Mode that lets enthusiasts shape the sound field. Combined with Google built-in on a crisp 14.5-inch center display, Polestar 3 gives you control over apps, navigation, and playlists via natural voice with Google Assistant, keeping your hands steady on the wheel.
These two features don’t exist in isolation. They’re part of a chassis and cabin engineered as a whole—double wishbone front and integral link rear suspension for precise geometry, a rigid structure, and interior materials chosen for quiet quality. Acoustic laminated glass and available infrared windshield coating help maintain a serene space, while CleanZone® air filtration and the Advanced Air Cleaner (Plus pack) filter particulates and pollen to support well-being. The harmony of ride, handling, and sound is what makes Polestar 3 a convincing all-rounder.
For shoppers comparing EV SUVs, focus on how a vehicle behaves and how it makes you feel. Numbers help—111 kWh battery, rapid 250 kW DC charging, 0-60 mph as quick as 4.5 seconds with the Performance pack—but a test drive reveals what the data can’t. Let the air suspension settle the car as pavement changes, then cue a favorite track and feel the layering of instruments across the cabin. That’s where the difference becomes unmistakable.
