THIS POLESTAR 2 IS BUILT FOR ARCTIC ADVENTURES!

EV Channels Review

This video showcases the one-off Polestar 2 Arctic Circle, a bespoke creation built for extreme winter testing. The reviewer, Jack, highlights the car's enhanced performance, including a power increase to 350 kW and 501 lb-ft of torque, bespoke Öhlins suspension that is 30mm higher and 30% softer than the standard Performance model, and studded 19-inch OZ rally wheels. Significant modifications include monster LED lights, a carbon fiber skid plate, front and rear strut braces, and custom Recaro bucket seats with gold accents. The reviewer praises the car's exceptional handling and fun factor on an ice lake, noting how the tuned torque distribution and direct electric power delivery make it easier to control during slides compared to combustion engine cars. While acknowledging the extreme nature of the testing, the video effectively argues that this rigorous development in -30°C conditions ensures reliability and refinement for everyday driving in milder climates. The reviewer's verdict is overwhelmingly positive, calling it the "best thing I've ever driven" and emphasizing the confidence it instills for even challenging road conditions.
