    I'd recommend checking it out before committing to buy one, the Polestar 2 is a really old model by today's standards and hasn't been refreshed at all really since its launch.

    Some of the things that stuck out to me were its inefficient use of space, bad infotainment system (looks like it was designed in the 2010s, large bezels, not intuitive…etc.), large centre column in the rear seats that make the middle seat basically unusable, and questionable seat material choice (the "weave" material that they advertise just feels like classic fabric to me).

    Realistically, I think it's clearly behind the Tesla Model 3 (which is similarly priced at around $55k for the RWD model), and BYD Seal (which is actually cheaper for the Dynamic, though I'd really recommend the Premium), both of which are much more modern, feature-rich, and better cars.

    There's also the questionable going concern of Polestar as well - they're obviously not doing well financially, and there's a reasonable chance that they may not even be around in a few years.

      Didn’t the 2WD go from FWD to RWD?

        Yes, but nothing else fundamentally changed about the car.

        It's a really small change compared to the upgrades that the Model 3 and Model Y have gotten over the past few years (with the Highland and Juniper refreshes), for instance.

        • shake on 16/06/2025 - 11:17

          I’d agree with some of your points - however would argue that the changes introduced since the 2024 model year are actually quite substantial.

          New electric motors and new batteries across model variants - meaning increased range and better charging capabilities.

          Not to mention switching from FWD to RWD, which, if you believe the motoring press, transformed the driving experience.

          Even in today’s market, if you’re looking for an EV with >600 kms of range, there aren’t many alternatives.

          (I know range isn’t that important to most people, but it is to some.)

            @shake: 600km is really the magic number for me. I won't buy a car over 50k unless it is going to hit very close to that mark.

            I'd buy a cheaper EV, but if it is only going to do 300-400km I want it at 25-30k drive away.

            For the Polestar 2 I'd look really closely at it for 40-45k driveway. It is a nice car to drive, not that comfortable tho.

            @shake:

            What are these changes? Aside from incremental upgrades to motors and batteries (which is standard across all EVs as the technology changes), and the change from FWD to RWD?

            The market is significantly more competitive now than when the Polestar 2 was first released, and other manufacturers have released completely new platforms (e.g. the BYD Seal) or major refreshes (e.g. the Tesla Model 3 Highland).

            Not to mention switching from FWD to RWD, which, if you believe the motoring press, transformed the driving experience.

            Sure, but even if FWD to RWD Has led to an improvement in the driving experience, this merely brings them in line with other manufacturers, again, the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal being the main competitors, who are both already offering RWD anyway.

            Even in today’s market, if you’re looking for an EV with >600 kms of range, there aren’t many alternatives.

            The standard Polestar 2 doesn't quite get to 600km, it's rated at 546km (WLTP), which is basically the same as the Tesla Model 3 (520km WLTP), and BYD Seal Premium (570km WLTP), both of which are the same price $55,000-ish price.

              and the change from FWD to RWD?

              FYI, this is a huge deal. It would transform the driving dynamics a lot.

              I drive an AWD car myself, and i could change the torque split on the fly. If i go rear-bias 30-70 i could definitely feel the difference compared to 50-50 or 60-40.

              Now this is going from 100-0 to 0-100. basically a whole new car in terms of driving experience.

                Sure, but it's up against competition which is RWD anyway (e.g. Model 3 RWD, Seal Dynamic / Premium), so it's not like RWD is something unique. It's a change which just brings it merely to level with its competition.

                If it were offering AWD, at this price, for example, then yes, that would absolutely be a benefit / reason to go with this over competitors.

                  @p1 ama: p1 ama, if I can get your attention a moment. What non-Tesla models are around that you'd consider over this?
                  I'm not sure if its age really matters that much? It's 5 years old essentially, but then again, what else is out there?

            • shake on 16/06/2025 - 23:02

              @p1 ama: Upvoted your comment for making an intelligent argument.

              What are these changes? Aside from incremental upgrades to motors and batteries (which is standard across all EVs as the technology changes), and the change from FWD to RWD?

              Single-motor variants had a significant upgrade in performance - power output went from 170 kW to 220 kW (~30% increase), while torque figure went from 330 Nm to 490 Nm (~48% increase). Those are definitely significant jumps!

              The dual-motor variant introduced a front-motor disconnect function, and increased range by 106 kms to 593 kms WLTP (~22% improvement).

              Source for numbers I quoted above.

              even if FWD to RWD Has led to an improvement in the driving experience, this merely brings them in line with other manufacturers

              I don't disagree with you on this.

              But my original point was in response to your comment that the Polestar 2 "hasn't been refreshed at all really since its launch" - which I do disagree with, and hopefully shown why :)

              The standard Polestar 2 doesn't quite get to 600km, it's rated at 546km (WLTP)

              You're right. I was thinking of the Long Range Single Motor variant, which is rated at 659 km WLTP - which obviously isn't at this $57K price point.

      The centre tunnel houses batteries that would otherwise be in the footwells. You lose a middle seat, but you gain a more ergonomic seating position for the other four seats.

      I own and like my Seal but the Polestar does drive better no doubt about that. Packaging I totally agree with. It manages to be a relatively big car with a small interior. The android system is pretty good though imo and having a hatch is good.

      • tp0 on 16/06/2025 - 12:28

        It's not very long. At 4600mm there's a number of small cars that are larger (eg: Corolla and Mazda 3 sedans).

      • R-Man on 16/06/2025 - 18:55

        You reckon? We owned a polestar 2 and found the suspension way too hard even if we set it to the softest. Polestar's own staff agreed.

        I'm interested in getting a seal actually but haven't test driven

        • drprox on 17/06/2025 - 07:22

          Yep from an experience standpoint I've owned the seal for 11 months and I hired and drove the polestar for 6 weeks/4000km. The polestar suspension is much better sorted. The seal is mostly fine but it can pogo at times. Further disclosure my other car is a Renault Sport with recaros that I find perfectly comfortable. My preference is always having a car I can feel/judge/place better on the road vs out and out plushness. The one pedal regen was also far better on the polestar (byd doesn't claim one pedal either) and steering was also better.
          Whilst this makes it sound like I hate the seal I don't as I bought one. For the price it is the better car but the gap closes as the polestar 2 drops.

          • V2L on 17/06/2025 - 08:19

            @drprox: All the Chinese cars seem to have waffly suspension for comfort, which is not great as a driver's car. I don't like Regen braking so that's fine with me

            • tp0 on 17/06/2025 - 09:07

              @V2L: All EVs have regen braking. The good ones make it totally transparent to the driver by regenerating electricity when the brake pedal is depressed rather than a nausea inducing accelerator lift-off function.

              Polestar offer both functions depending on driver preference.

            • ChickenAdobo on 18/06/2025 - 12:12

      There's also the questionable going concern of Polestar as well - they're obviously not doing well financially, and there's a reasonable chance that they may not even be around in a few years.

      That's my concern for all the new brands coming down-under. Zeekr, JAC, Geely, Xpeng, do we even know they will be still here in 5 years or will they have pulled out because it's too competitive for a smaller (globally-relative) market? I mean how many (new) brands can the Australian market reasonable sustain? Not to mention current dealer coverage for any warranty issues. Some of these cars have great value for money (and even design etc) but boy it feels 'risky' (or something similar).

    I had looked at a Polestar previously, but the specs did not justify the pricetag. For what you get in features and performance, you get a lot more from a BYD. Polestar is now Chinese owned, so it's not like you're buying a European car. I'm also not a fan of the styling - too blocky.

    • tp0 on 16/06/2025 - 11:23

      Polestar 2 and BYD Seal are diametrically opposite cars.

      The Seal is way too soft, riding and handling poorly. The Polestar 2 handles well and rides confidently over undulations but as a consequence is a bit too firm. The BYD has flashy design whereas the Polestar 2 is more restrained.

      I also fundamentally disagree with Polestar being a Chinese make. It is designed and engineered completely in Sweden.

      • Make it so on 16/06/2025 - 11:54
        +4

        Polestar is built in China, just like BYD. And the head of BYD design is a German, who also designs for other (luxury) brands. So it's not as black and white as you imply. Flashy is subjective, I suppose. I find the design of the Polestar too restrained, especially the back.

        Others have remarked the Seal has a soft drive - I found it okay, though a Sealion 7 is noticeably more firm and feels more confident - I think it's the better of the two. I haven't driven a Polestar 2, but would be prepared to believe that it drives well. I still don't think it's a great value proposition though. Another thing that stopped me from pursuing Polestar was that until late last year, the company wasn't doing very well, and I'd be worried about warranty. I hope they pull through, because inherently they are probably good cars.

        Two EVs are "diametrically opposite"?!

        Polestar 1 was on the SPA platform, owned by Volvo but still built in China. Polestar 2 is on the CMA platform, owned by Geely and built in China.

        It isn't designed and engineered completely in Sweden, no matter how much you want that to be true.

        • tp0 on 16/06/2025 - 15:11

          CMA was developed in Sweden by a Swedish company which is now known as "Zeekr Technology Europe". Interestingly when it was founded as "China Euro Vehicle Technology" it was staffed primarily with SAAB engineers as it was founded shortly after their bankruptcy.

            @tp0: Seeing how Saab went bankrupt and how Volvo has been struggling, one can't help but wonder whether the "European car" thing is something to strive for. I'm originally from Europe, and it's often bugged me how "European" is used as a selling point here. Cars that in my youth were ordinary or less than ordinary (Volkswagen, Fiat, Peogeot, etc.) are suddenly considered premium, with a price tag to match. Saab used to be great, just like Volvo, but clearly the formula hasn't been working.

      • drprox on 16/06/2025 - 14:55

        Totally agree. If I wanted one as some form of drivers car I'd have a p2 performance. For a daily the seal is completely fine and certainly has a full spec sheet included :)

        Edit - an ev6 GT is even better for performance though.

      Geely (China) has minority stake in Polestar. I would question the longevity of the Brand given they have stopped selling in China.

        Geely owns 24%, while 39.2% is owned by the founder and chairman of Geely (had to look that up).
        Originally Polestar was my first choice, but the cost was too high for what it was, and their financial performance is such that I'd be worried about my warranty.

    I had an uber ride in one and it was extremely cramped in the back and I'm not even tall.

        LOL Volvo is Chinese as much as Jaguar and land rover is Indian. This generation of Polstar was designed and engineered in Sweden.

    Nar can't justify the price tag still. Tesla's are cheaper.

      There will always be something better. Good way to save money though.

    If you're new to EV, check the essentials:
    - Interface/software (regular updates, use of apps for convenience etc). I have driven several EVs and their mapping/navigation services are just as useless as any ICE vehicles
    - charging infrastructure (at home or when you are out and about, what are compatible to the system)
    - Maintenance (Unlike ICE vehicles, you don't have to get frequently servicing, check what they off and what they can do, after-purchase support, warranty etc)

      Owner of a 15A 3.3kw charger. It's enough for everyday use. $279 from amazon with a ~7m cable when on sale. Additional 3 phase 22kw cable at 5m cable for when out and about for $129. (Yes Tesla cannot charge at 22kw, but future proof I guess)

      Plug in at night and enjoy the cheap 8c/kw night rates. Heck, leave your aircon on as well since it's so cheap. Heck, charge your home solar batteries as well. Electrical companies normally check if you really own a EV before you can sign up.

      • bluey47 on 17/06/2025 - 14:15

        I agree. Even 10A would suit most people, 10 hours overnight is roughly 23Kwh of charge, about 160KM. So unless you travel hundreds of kms every day 10A or 15A is fine. My friends keep getting fancy chargers installed, I cant convince them it’s a waste of money, 4 years of Tesla ownership charging from 10A doesn’t convince them.

          The problem with owning a Tesla is no one will listen to you anymore
