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 is an upmarket all-electric vehicle from the standalone brand, positioned as a sleek five-door fastback targeting rivals like the Tesla Model 3. Initially available with two- or four-wheel drive, a 2023 facelift brought significant upgrades, including more power, a shift to rear-wheel drive for single-motor models, and a larger 82kWh battery, extending the maximum WLTP range to an impressive 406 miles. Its high-quality, minimalist cabin features woven fabrics and a state-of-the-art Android Automotive OS with integrated Google services.

Driving dynamics are a strong point, offering rapid acceleration (0-62mph in 6.4 seconds for the entry model) and a composed, comfortable ride. Practicality is good for a family hatchback, with a 405-litre boot, additional underfloor storage, and a 35-litre 'frunk' for charging cables. Running costs are low, benefiting from no Vehicle Excise Duty and potential savings on fuel, with efficient rapid charging capabilities. While rear passenger space can feel a little confined, its sophisticated design and build quality make it a compelling premium EV choice.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, high-quality, and practical electric car with strong performance and good range, who appreciate sophisticated design and build quality over the Tesla brand, or those looking for low running costs and advanced infotainment.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum rear passenger spaciousness, buyers who prefer a traditional dealer network, or those on a tighter budget (the Performance Pack can be pricey).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Polestar 2 if: You want a stylish, high-quality, and practical electric car with strong performance, good range, and advanced tech, appreciating sophisticated design and build quality over the Tesla brand.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum rear passenger spaciousness, prefer a traditional dealer network, or find the Performance Pack too expensive.

Competitive Position: The Polestar 2 offers a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model 3, excelling in design and build quality. While practicality and performance are comparable, the Polestar's hatchback boot offers greater utility. Its sophisticated exterior, high-quality cabin, and strong brand values make it a serious contender in the executive electric car market, especially for those seeking a premium EV experience beyond Tesla.
