Head to head
Polestar 3 vs BMW iX
A side-by-side comparison of published Australian specifications, including WLTP range figures.
The verdict
Both cars quote the same 545 km WLTP range, so range alone won’t separate them. The BMW iX is the better fit for families needing extra boot space, with 500 litres and 5 seats versus 484 litres and 5 in the Polestar 3. On price the Polestar 3 starts about A$4,100 lower, while the quicker of the two off the line is the Polestar 3 at 4.7s.
On the measured specifications below, the Polestar 3 leads in 2 areas and the BMW iX in 2.
