Polestar 2 Interior
The Polestar 2 has an understated Scandinavian design with clean lines in the dashboard and an uncluttered centre console. There is an overwhelming sense of the Polestar 2 being of a high-quality build. There are no squeaks or rattles, joinery is flush and the doors close with a soft thump.
The dashboard is headlined by a portrait-orientated 11.2-inch touchscreen multimedia system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. A panoramic sunroof is an optional extra.
