How Safe Is the 2025 Polestar 3? Euro NCAP Puts It to the Test

The Polestar 3 has officially proven it is not just a stylish electric vehicle, but also one of the safest on the road. According to the latest Euro NCAP crash and safety test results, this fully electric SUV received a perfect 5-star rating. That is no small feat, especially considering how competitive the safety standards have become.

Adult Occupant Protection scored an impressive 90%, meaning the structure of the vehicle and its restraint systems performed extremely well during frontal and side impact tests. When it comes to Child Occupant Protection, the Polestar 3 set a new benchmark. It scored 93%, the highest rating seen in this category in the past 9 years. For families, this is a big win. The car offers excellent protection for child dummies aged 6 and 10 in various crash simulations.

Another standout area is Safety Assist, which scored 83%. The Polestar 3 is loaded with driver assistance technologies that actively work to prevent accidents, not just protect during one. From automatic emergency braking to lane-keeping assistance, it is clear that Polestar did not cut any corners.

The vehicle also earned 79% in Vulnerable Road Users Protection, a category that includes pedestrians and cyclists. This shows how well the Polestar 3 detects and reacts to people outside the car.

One clever detail is the airbag status display. When a rear-facing child seat is placed in the front passenger seat, the display clearly shows whether the airbag is active or not. This is not just convenient—it is a thoughtful safety feature that can help prevent injury. The car also has a built-in system that detects if a child is accidentally left in the back seat, ensuring the vehicle cannot be locked under such conditions.

These results reflect Polestar’s clear priority: delivering cutting-edge performance without compromising on safety. Whether you are commuting solo or driving your family around town, the Polestar 3 proves you can have confidence in every journey.
