2023 Polestar 2 Specs, Price, Features, Mileage and Review
The Polestar 2 is an electric car that combines a crossover’s raised seating position, a sedan’s practicality, and a hatchback style. This model, which is made by Volvo’s EV subsidiary Polestar, is limited to a sizable battery pack and an electric motor that powers the front wheels. If you choose the more potent all-wheel-drive setup, you can also have two electric motors. In any case, the car is enjoyable to drive and has a roomy, stylish interior with a minimalist design. The EPA estimates that the single-motor model has a range of up to 270 miles, while the dual-motor version has a range of 260 miles.
What Is 2023 Bringing?
The estimated driving range of Polestar 2 dual-motor models will increase by 11 miles by 2023. In addition, Polestar has added two new exterior color options, a new interior color scheme, and new designs for the 19- and 20-inch wheel options for the 2. There will only be a very small number of these available: 270 in total, of which only 47 are designated for our shores. This is the racer BST Edition 270 model. The suspension of the BST Edition 270 has been lowered and equipped with adjustable Öhlins dampers. Its dual electric motors have been tuned to produce an additional 15 lb-ft of torque. The tires on these distinctive 21-inch wheels are Pirelli P Zero performance tires, which are specially made.
