Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Cool exterior design,
zippy on-road personality,
spacious and nicely styled cabin.

Cons
Limited front-trunk space,
infotainment system is more retro than futuristic.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Quick acceleration and sporty handling
Plenty of room in the front and back
Compatible with the latest high-rate charging stations
Styling is sleeker than a hatchback and not as bulky as a true SUV

Cons
Not as much maximum cargo space as other electric SUVs
Front and rear visibility isn't the best
Underwhelming range in Edmunds' real-world testing
Operation of some driver assist features could be smoother

One of the most complete electric cars money can buy. Superb build quality, and decent to drive.

Pros
Beautifully built intuitive cabin,
effortless performance,
exceptionally cool image,

Pros
Performance Pack adjustable dampers are too firm out of the box
the look on Tesla drivers’ faces

By:

The Polestar 2 is an excellent luxury electric vehicle, even if it's not as visually exciting as trendier alternatives.

Pros
Notable athleticism and quickness,
cabin materials and quality are indeed luxurious,
surprisingly intuitive infotainment system.

Cons
Exterior design isn't exactly daring,
race-inspired dampers require manual adjustments,
estimated driving range is underwhelming.
