The real-world range is estimated at around 440 km (270 miles), considered sufficient for most users. Overall, the Polestar 2 is seen as a highly contemporary and well-rounded EV that excels in interior quality, software, and driving dynamics, making it a compelling alternative to the Model 3. less
