CarTell take

We haven't driven the Polestar 2 yet. On paper, the Dual Motor at $73,400 plus on-roads overlaps Polestar 4 entry pricing. Compare the two in showroom before signing.

Why consider it

  • 659 km WLTP on the Single Motor is the longest in the segment, paired with Google Built-in OS (native Maps, Assistant and Play Store) and 205 kW DC peak for a 28-minute 10 to 80% charge.

What to know

  • 405 L boot is small for a fastback, rear hatch opening is shallow, and rear headroom is tight under the sloped roofline.
  • 5-year warranty trails Korean and Chinese rivals.

Who it suits

Long-distance drivers and driver-focused EV buyers who want the longest WLTP range in segment plus Google Built-in software. The Single Motor at $67,400 plus on-roads is the rational pick.
