ENGINEERING-LED UPDATE GREATLY IMPROVES THIS EV (POLESTAR 2 SINGLE MOTOR LONG RANGE 2024 REVIEW)

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Polestar 2 Single Motor Long Range receives a significant engineering overhaul, transforming its driving dynamics and overall appeal. The switch to rear-wheel drive is the standout improvement, injecting much-needed dynamism and engagement, making it a "stealth driver's car." The ride quality, previously a major drawback, is now "significantly better" and "much more livable," though still not plush. Performance is enhanced with increased power and torque, and WLTP range extends to 654km, making this variant the "sweet spot" for many. While the interior and equipment largely remain unchanged, the upgrades in safety and the optional packs add further value. The reviewer highlights the improved handling, refined drivetrain, and the car's premium feel, concluding that this updated Polestar 2 offers substantial value and a compelling driving experience, especially for the Australian market.
