SO HERE IT is: one of most eagerly awaited electric cars of year. After the hors d’oeuvre of the Polestar 1 plug-in hybrid coupe, this is the main course that will properly launch the new company from Sweden into the mainstream.
It’s hard not to compare the Polestar 2 to the Tesla Model 3. In price, footprint and concept, they are remarkably similar bedfellows, and this segment will soon be buzzing with all-electric rivals from Germany’s premium manufacturers.
It’s a decent package, too. At 4.6m long, this soberly styled five-door fastback is roughly the same size as a 3 Series and is built on the same Geely group CMA architecture that also begat the Volvo XC40. It offers easy access to the back seats (just watch out for a large ‘transmission tunnel’ making this effectively a four-seater),and a large tailgate lifts to reveal a decent 364-litre boot.
