POLESTAR 2 - HAVE THEY FIXED WHAT WAS WRONG?

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 2 refresh addresses key criticisms, particularly concerning efficiency, which has seen significant improvement, now achieving comparable miles per kilowatt-hour to the Tesla Model 3. The reviewer highlights the car's enduring stylish design and solid build quality, noting the updated grille as a minor cosmetic change. However, significant drawbacks persist, including a firm ride, a large turning circle, and a cramped rear seating area that struggles with legroom and headroom, making it less ideal as a family car. The interior, while feeling premium, shows susceptibility to wear and tear, and the infotainment system's usability, especially for climate control, is criticized for its multi-tap operation. The key fob is deemed exceptionally poor for the car's price point. Despite these issues, the Polestar 2 is praised for its engaging driving dynamics, particularly the rear-wheel-drive setup in the Long Range model, and its unique, stylish appeal, positioning it as a 'fun' choice over more practical alternatives like the Tesla Model 3 or BMW i4, especially for single individuals or couples, or as a company car.
