2024 POLESTAR 2 DUAL MOTOR AWD PERFORMANCE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Polestar 2 Dual Motor with Performance Pack is reviewed as a highly entertaining and well-built EV that still holds its own in the market. The reviewer praises its solid driving dynamics, premium feel (especially with the optional Nappa leather), hatchback utility, and understated styling. The ride quality is noted as surprisingly good despite the performance-oriented setup. However, the car is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer criticizes the wireless charging and the need for wired Apple CarPlay, the dated screen bezel, and a sound system that, while acceptable, doesn't quite meet premium expectations for the price. The automatic on/off function is a significant annoyance. Ultimately, the biggest hurdle remains the price, compounded by tariffs and lack of tax credits, making it a difficult proposition despite its many strengths. The reviewer suggests the rear-wheel-drive single-motor version might be the better value, especially when equipped with luxury options, and recommends looking for used models.
