Revealed in October 2022 and reaching customers from the 2024 model year, the Polestar 3 marked a decisive shift for the Swedish EV brand: its first SUV and its most technologically complex production car to date. Norev captures the 2024 specification in die-cast metal at 1:43, choosing Magnesium Grey — a cool metallic silver from the original launch colour palette — as the livery for this release.
Polestar's First SUV: Architecture and Performance
The Polestar 3 sits in the full-size luxury electric SUV segment, competing alongside the BMW iX and Mercedes EQS SUV.
Magnesium Grey and the Scandinavian Design Language
Magnesium Grey is not an afterthought: it was part of the Polestar 3's launch colour palette, a considered choice that reflects the brand's Scandinavian minimalist identity. The cool, light metallic tone references industrial materials — deliberately understated against the car's sculpted surfacing.
Norev 1:43 Die-Cast: Craft and Construction
Norev is a French die-cast manufacturer with a long track record in 1:43 road-car replicas, and the brand's relationship with the Volvo Group has produced a consistent and respected series of Volvo and Polestar models. This release uses die-cast metal construction, faithfully reproducing the Polestar 3's pronounced shoulder line and flush door handles. The Magnesium Grey finish is rendered in the metallic quality associated with Norev's European road-car range.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:43, the Polestar 3 sits comfortably alongside other modern electric road cars in a standard collector cabinet. It pairs logically with Norev's own Volvo EX90 as well as Polestar 2 releases in the same scale. For collectors tracing the evolution of Scandinavian EV design, or building a chronological Polestar line-up from the Polestar 1 coupé onwards, this first-generation Polestar 3 in a launch colour provides a well-defined reference point.
