Why it stands out

The Polestar 2 is a five-door hatchback all-electric family car with a stylish, understated design and a high-quality cabin. It is offered with two- or four-wheel drive, and the latter uses a pair of electric motors generating just over 400bhp. The boot holds 405 litres, with 1,095 litres available with the rear seats folded, and the Long Range Single Motor version claims 406 miles of range.

It is not as roomy as some rivals, and the rising window line can make the rear feel a little claustrophobic. The standard car is well equipped, but the Performance Pack is pricey and the ride is firmer with it fitted. There have also been reports of the infotainment set-up suffering various glitches, although regular software updates help.

Best for: Buyers who want a stylish, well-built electric hatchback with strong range and a premium-feeling cabin.

Not ideal for: Buyers who need the most rear-seat space or want the broadest dealer support.

The verdict

You should buy this car if: You want an electric hatchback that combines strong range, rapid performance and a cabin that feels more upmarket than many rivals.

Consider alternatives if: You need the roomiest rear seats or prefer a brand with a traditional dealer network.

Competitive position: The Polestar 2 sits as a serious premium EV alternative, with a more sophisticated design and higher-quality cabin than the Tesla Model 3. It also has a more useful hatchback boot than the Model 3’s narrower saloon boot aperture. In this class it is a convincing choice against the Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal and Kia EV6.
