Safety
Warranty
Toyota’s powertrain warranty covers the bZ4X 1 year and 10,000 miles longer than Polestar covers the 3. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the Polestar 3 ends after only 4 years or 50,000 miles.
There are almost 48 times as many Toyota dealers as there are Polestar dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the bZ4X’s warranty.
Reliability
J.D. Power and Associates’ 2023 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Toyota vehicles are better in initial quality than Polestar vehicles. With 119 fewer problems per 100 vehicles, JD Power ranks Toyota higher than Polestar.
Chassis
The Toyota bZ4X may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1400 to 1450 pounds less than the Polestar 3.
The bZ4X is 8.3 inches shorter than the Polestar 3, making the bZ4X easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.
Cargo Capacity
The bZ4X has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the Polestar 3 with its rear seat up (27.7 vs. 17.1 cubic feet). The bZ4X has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Polestar 3 with its rear seat folded (56.9 vs. 50 cubic feet).
A low lift-over cargo hatch design makes loading and unloading the bZ4X easier. The bZ4X’s cargo hatch lift-over height is 27.9 inches, while the Polestar 3’s liftover is 31 inches.
Model Availability
The bZ4X is available in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. The Polestar 3 doesn’t offer a two-wheel drive configuration.
