Our most recent review of the 2023 Polestar 2 resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: So do I have to eat my words? Is the Polestar 2 not as good as I originally thought, especially given how much the EV industry has evolved in the last few years?No way. I love this car, and was very sad to see it go. Yep, I’d part with my own money for one of these. It’s suited well to a keen driver, offers plenty of range, and comes with such neat Scando design. I also agree with its sustainable messaging.

The 2023 Polestar 2 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Polestar 2 2023 prices range from $45,870 for the basic trim level Hatchback STD Range Single Motor 69KWH to $65,010 for the top of the range Hatchback Long Range Dual Motor 78KWH.
The Polestar 2 has three choices of seat trim, with further colour choices for each type. The car's interior has a high proportion of recycled plastics, cloth trims, and materials other than synthetic leather throughout.
The entry-level Standard Range front-wheel drive Polestar 2 can travel up to 470km on a single charge, the mid-grade Long Range version can travel up to 540km on a single charge, while the all-wheel drive dual motor version can travel 480km on a single charge.
There are three different ways to charge your Polestar two – two at home and one in public. The first involves a regular 240V wall socket, using a standard charging cable provided by Polestar. This will take roughly 34 hours at home for the 69kWh battery or 41 hours for the long-range 82kWh battery. Charging costs range between 21 to 36 cents per kWh on average but can vary depending on demand and which state you live in. Alternatively, owners can purchase an AC wall unit which on average costs between $800 to $2000, with additional charges for installation. An 11kW unit will fully charge a Polestar 2 with a 69kWh battery in seven hours, while the 82kWh unit will take eight hours. If the unit is hooked up to solar power, the cost can be free. Polestar owners can also access public DC fast-charging stations with the maximum output of 200kW. It will take 40 minutes to charge the 69kWh battery at this rate and 32 minutes on the 82kWh unit. Once again, charges depending on demand and where you’re charging, but as a general rule you should never pay more than $40 per charge.

The Polestar 2 can sprint from 0-100km/h as fast as 4.7 seconds for the dual-motor version, or 7.4 seconds for the single motor versions.
The Polestar 2 is a five-seat proposition regardless of variant. Seat trim depends on which option pack is chosen, with a base cloth trim, a synthetic neoprene-style seat in Plus pack cars, or an optional Napa leather trim.
There are two motor layouts available in the Polestar 2 range. The single motor front-wheel drive variants are able to output 170kW/330Nm, while the dual motor all-wheel drive version can put down 300kW/660Nm.
