Polestar 2 (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Stunning build quality	The Performance Pack is pricey
Very rapid acceleration	A Jaguar I-Pace is roomier
Good battery range	No traditional dealer network

Quick Summary

The Polestar 2 (2020-present) is a five-door electric hatchback that combines striking Nordic design with impressive performance and practicality. Available with either two- or four-wheel drive, it offers a choice of battery sizes, with the larger 82kWh pack delivering up to 406 miles of WLTP range. The flagship Dual Motor Performance version produces 469bhp and accelerates from 0-62mph in just 4.2 seconds, whilst even the entry-level single-motor model is brisk at 6.4 seconds. A 2023 facelift brought increased power across the range and enhanced charging speeds of up to 205kW.

The Polestar 2 excels in build quality, featuring supportive Volvo seats, a minimalist cabin with woven fabrics, and an intuitive Android-based infotainment system with Google Maps and Assistant integration. Practicality is strong with a 405-litre boot, plus 41 litres of underfloor storage and a 35-litre frunk for charging cables. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel equivalents, with home charging costing around £31.60 for a full charge. The car handles well, combining sharp steering and composed cornering with a supple ride, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a premium electric hatchback with genuine substance.

Best for: Buyers seeking a premium electric hatchback with exceptional build quality, rapid acceleration, and impressive range; those who appreciate Scandinavian design and value a high-quality cabin; drivers with home charging facilities.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum interior space (the Jaguar I-Pace offers more room), buyers without access to home charging, or those seeking a traditional dealer network for servicing and support.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Polestar 2 if: You seek a premium electric hatchback with exceptional build quality, rapid acceleration, and impressive range; you appreciate Scandinavian design and value a high-quality cabin; you have access to home charging facilities.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum interior space, lack home charging access, or require a traditional dealer network for servicing and support.

Competitive Position: The Polestar 2 is a compelling contender in the premium electric hatchback market, offering superior build quality and design sophistication compared to the Tesla Model 3, though the Tesla scores higher on expert ratings and overall CarGurus rating. Whilst the Jaguar I-Pace provides more interior space and boasts an impressive user rating of 5.0, the Polestar 2 delivers comparable performance and range with a more refined cabin. The Mercedes-Benz EQC offers similar appeal but lacks the Polestar's driving dynamics. For buyers who value Scandinavian design integrity, exceptional build quality, and rapid acceleration over maximum space, the Polestar 2 represents an excellent choice in the competitive EV market.
