Huge $5000 price cut on popular electric car! 2025 Polestar 2 and 2025 Polestar 4 now cheaper and ready to fight the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal

The Polestar 2 has been given a stack of new standard equipment and a price cut.

For 2025, all Polestar 2 variants will be priced well below the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) threshold, starting at $62,400 (before on-road costs) for the entry-level single motor standard range variant, and rising to $80,830 for the top-spec long range dual-motor with Performance Pack.

The adjusted pricing represents a savings of $5,000 across each variant. The updated model could help lift Polestar's dipping sales. The Chinese brand has sold just more than 1000 2 sedans through the first seven months of this year, which is a drop of about 28 per cent compared to the same period in 2023.

Polestar 2 variant	Price (before on-road costs)
Standard Range Single-Motor	$62,400
Long Range Single-Motor	$66,400
Long Range Dual-Motor	$71,400
Long Range Dual-Motor with Performance Pack	$80,380

Polestar has also announced the all-new Polestar 4 Coupe SUV will sit under the LCT threshold when it arrives in November, starting at $78,500 (before on-road costs) for the long-range single-motor variant, and $88,350 for the dual-motor long range variant.

Both the 2 and 4 will be eligible for the Fringe Benefits Tax exemption via a novated lease, which will translate to even more savings for customers.

In terms of exterior design, two new colours have been introduced to the 2 range, ‘Vapour’, a light metallic colour which replaces the outgoing ‘Magnesium’, and ‘Storm’, a dark aluminium colour which replaces ‘Thunder’.

There’s also new 19-inch Aero alloy wheels with aero inserts as standard across the range, along with the added option of 20-inch Pro Graphite alloy wheels.

Inside, the Polestar 2 gains Charcoal coloured, animal-welfare secured Nappa leather upholstery, while the gear selector now features a deco surround.

Adaptive cruise control is also now fitted as standard across the range, as is Polestar’s Pilot Pack which consists of Lane Keep Assist and Emergency Stop Assist.

Long-range dual motor variants benefit from the standard addition of tinted rear windows and a 600-watt, 13-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system. These features can be added to the rest of the range for an additional $1800.

Customers can also opt in for the new Climate Pack for $1500 which adds heated front seats, wiper nozzles and steering wheel, as well as a heat pump which enables efficient remote pre-conditioning.

There's also the new option of a Pro Pack, which adds 20-inch alloys, black seatbelts with a Swedish-inspired gold stripe running the full length, and gold valve caps on each wheel for $1900.

A 2 variants feature multi-zone climate control, an 11.5-inch portrait-oriented multimedia screen with integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital radio, over-the-air updates and power adjustable front seats with driver’s seat memory functions.

The five-star ANCAP safety-rated 2 features eight airbags, automatic high beam LED headlights, a 360-degree camera, rain sensing wipers, adaptive cruise control and park assist.

The 2’s drivetrain remains unchanged, with the single-motor standard range variant sporting the same 200kW electric motor that sends power to the rear wheels, alongside a 69kWh battery pack that offers up to 546km of WLTP driving range. It’ll do 0-100km/h in 6.4 seconds.

The long-range single-motor variant utilises a larger 82kWh battery pack that delivers 659km of range, while the long-range dual-motor offers up to 596km and all-wheel drive, giving it a quicker 0-100km/h acceleration of 4.5 seconds.

With a Performance Pack fitted on the dual-motor variant, power output is upped to 350kW, with a faster 0-100km/h acceleration of 4.2 seconds. Performance-focused features include manually-adjustable Ohlins shock absorbers and Brembo brakes, though the driving range drops to 546km.

All Polestar 2 variants can be recharged at up to 11kW AC, or fast-charged with a 205kW DC charger. A home charging cable is included as standard across the range

A comprehensive 5-year warranty, complimentary roadside assist and scheduled servicing are also included.

Head of Polestar Australia, Scott Maynard, said “The MY25 enhancements to Polestar 2, already one of the best equipped and exciting premium electric vehicles on the market, are another example of Polestar’s relentless pursuit to continually improve its cars for customers. We know many customers have been waiting for this new model year to arrive, and we look forward to welcoming them to Polestar as they start their ownership journey.”
