The Polestar 2 shares much of its design aesthetic with its higher-spec hybrid sibling, but at a price that's at least somewhat closer to reasonable. The starting sticker price expected to begin around $61,000 before government incentive. That should place it in competition with higher-trim Tesla Models 3 and Y, which will share the Polestar 2's setup of an electric motor powering each axle with 201 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque (for a combined output of 402 ponies and 487 lb-ft of twi

Tesla's market standing in the world of electric vehicles remains strong, with the only real competition coming from Porsche's Taycan, which has largely priced itself out of the mainstream automotive industry. Polestar, formerly of Volvo but now its own brand, is looking to shake things up with the affordable, all-electric Polestar 2 (as opposed to the hybrid Polestar 1, which is more of an enormous superc

Once Polestar can ace range, which for the moment is just 292 miles , they will well and truly be on par with Tesla when it comes to the everyday driving experience. For the moment, it's not a million miles away, but given how young the company is, expect that to be corrected in the years to c

But, stats only go so far in the real world, so what does an experienced tester like Matt Farah think? Well, he's definitely impressed with the Polestar 2's fit and finish, plus the Swedish design elements and build quality. Matt wants to know the EPA-estimated range, which could be anywhere in the 190 to mid-200-mile range. Matt admits he loves Teslas, but this car "feels like a much better-built, solid thing. It doesn't have some of the cheekiness, some of the meme-come-to-life things the Tesla has." Other highlights include advanced connectivity capabilities including a large touchscreen, a Google infotainment system with Google Assistance, and a system that recognizes the driver by connecting with their smartphone to adjust seating setti

The 2 has a central pad similar to the Tesla Model 3, but in the Polestar, its higher for easier viewing. Fitted with an easy to navigate Google OS, it has very little lag and makes for a seamless electronic experience that fits in well with its surroundi
