Polestar 3 has been awarded Euro NCAP’s Best in Class award for safest Executive Car of 2025, reinforcing its position as a safety benchmark in its class.
This accolade affirms Polestar’s commitment to protecting occupants and road users through cutting-edge engineering and advanced safety technologies.
This award follows the April 2025 announcement when Polestar 3 achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating and 87% score overall in the then latest round of safety tests.
The brand’s flagship SUV impressed with remarkable scores of 90% for adult occupant protection, 93% for child occupant protection – at that point the highest score of any passenger car tested by Euro NCAP in the past nine years – 79% for vulnerable road users, and 83% for safety assist.
At the time, Euro NCAP praised Polestar 3 for setting “a new standard for child safety”, with performance “tantalisingly close to a perfect score.” This achievement underscores Polestar’s dedication to safety as an integral part of its performance ethos.
Gerry Yang, Polestar CTO, says: “Safety is a central part of our DNA thanks to our close collaboration with Volvo Cars. Polestar 3 incorporates among the latest advanced structural innovations and advanced driver assistance systems, which all played a part in delivering the exceptional test results we have seen here.”
Polestar 3 is the third model in the brand’s line-up, together with Polestar 2 and Polestar 4, to have undergone testing and received top honours by Euro NCAP.
