Polestar 2 electric car 2024 review: Long range RWD Single motor

There are price rises across the board here, with jumps of between $3K and $4K depending on the model. It must said, though, you are getting a lot more electric vehicle for your money this time around.

Our car – the Long range Single motor – is yours for $71,400, before on-road costs and any subsidies. There’s a Standard range Single motor ($67,400) beneath it, and a Long range Dual motor ($76,400) above it.

Finally, the Long range Dual motor with Performance Pack ($85,400) headlines the range.

Apart from the significant mechanical and safety changes, there's not much else to talk about in terms of equipment updates.

Our Polestar rides on 19-inch alloys, features LED headlights and DRLs, and wears frameless heated wing mirrors.

Inside, there's a surprisingly premium-feeling 'embossed textile' seat trim, powered front seats and a 11.2-inch portrait centre screen that controls your nav, media and car functions, as well as a second screen in front of the driver.

There's also dual-zone climate control, a wireless charge pad, Apple CarPlay and an eight-speaker stereo.
