The 2024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor with Performance Pack is priced from $84,500 before on-road costs, a $2400 increase from its predecessor. This top model has pricing parity with the top-spec Tesla Model 3 Performance, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 Epiq, and is cheaper and less powerful than the Kia EV6 GT.

Standard equipment includes an Android operating system for infotainment, dual-zone climate control, eight airbags, a comprehensive suite of driver assist safety aids, and a 2021 ANCAP five star safety rating. The Performance Pack adds a 40kW power boost to 350kW/740Nm from 310kW/740Nm, Ohlins dampers, Brembo four-piston ventilated and drilled discs, and new-look 20-inch alloy wheels shod with Continental SportContact 6 tyres.

The Polestar 2 has a new 82kWh lithium-ion battery pack that increases the claimed WLTP driving range and the max recharging rate from 155kW to 205kW. The Polestar 2 has three-mode regenerative braking that varies from nothing to overwhelming. The interior features Scandinavian design restraint, comfortable and supportive seats, and decent storage.
