Polestar 2

Overview

The Polestar 2 is the model Polestar began producing in 2020, and it remains in the current UK range. The company page lists a Long range Single motor version and a Long range Dual motor version that can be fitted with the Performance pack.

Range, power and price

The Long range Single motor car is quoted with up to 409 miles of WLTP range, which is about 658 km. The most powerful version reaches up to 350 kW, and the page gives a 0 to 60 mph time of 4.0 seconds. In the UK the starting price shown is 45,210 pounds. Polestar does not state a battery capacity, charging speed or charge port on this page, so none are given here.

Software and charging support

The car receives regular over-the-air updates, which Polestar says are included. For charging, Polestar points owners to its Polestar Charge app, which brings charging networks together in one place.

Battery warranty

The battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. That distance is roughly 160,934 km. The company page states the figure in miles only, so the kilometre value here is a conversion.

Who it suits

The model is the lowest priced of the current Polestar cars on the UK site, which makes it the entry point to the brand for buyers who want an electric car from the range with a choice between one motor and two.
