2021 POLESTAR 2 PERFORMANCE PACK IN-DEPTH DRIVING REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 2 Performance Pack is lauded for its exceptional handling capabilities, particularly on back roads, with the adjustable Öhlins dampers offering a significant range from track-focused stiffness to a more comfortable street setting. The reviewer highlights the car's impressive thermal management, allowing for sustained hard driving without significant power loss, and praises the stellar brake pedal feel and blending. The interior is described as tasteful and well-built, with a great UI and accurate energy usage prediction. However, the primary drawback identified is the charging curve, which tapers off significantly after the initial peak, and the reviewer notes the throttle input can be overly sharp and laggy at times. The key fob is also criticized for its lack of premium feel. Despite these points, the reviewer is highly impressed with the car's performance and chassis dynamics, suggesting it could redeem its charging limitations for keen drivers.
