    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The latest Polestar 2 features a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup, improving handling and making the drive more engaging compared to its previous front-wheel-drive (FWD) version.
    Thanks to more efficient electric motors and a slightly larger battery, the Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor version now offers up to 505 km of range, addressing previous concerns about efficiency.
    The Scandinavian-inspired interior is clean, modern, and luxurious without feeling overly futuristic. The vegan-friendly materials, high-quality trims, and ergonomic seating make it comfortable for long drives.
    The Android-based infotainment system with built-in Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store provides one of the best user experiences in an EV, with frequent over-the-air updates.
    With 0-100 km/h times ranging from 6.8 seconds in the Standard Range model to 4.2 seconds in the Performance variant, the Polestar 2 offers impressive acceleration across all trims.
    Polestar’s commitment to sustainability, including reducing carbon emissions during manufacturing and using eco-friendly materials, makes it a great option for environmentally conscious buyers.
    Unlike some competitors with sedan-style trunks, the Polestar 2 offers a hatchback design, providing better cargo access and flexibility, complemented by a small front trunk (frunk).

    Cons

    Due to its sloping roofline, taller passengers in the back may find limited headroom, making longer trips uncomfortable for those over 6 feet (183 cm) tall.
    At over 2,100 kg, the Polestar 2 is heavier than the Tesla Model 3 and has a higher drag coefficient, slightly reducing efficiency compared to its direct rivals.
    While Polestar has improved charging speeds (up to 205 kW DC fast charging), it still lacks access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. However, a future adapter is expected to fix this.
    The optional Performance Pack with Öhlins adjustable dampers improves handling but results in a firmer ride that may not be as comfortable for daily commuting.
    While the Google-based system is intuitive, some users miss physical buttons for climate and media controls, as everything is managed via the touchscreen.
