“As the only real rival to the trailblazing Tesla Model 3, the Polestar 2 is a high-quality first effort from the fledgling carmaker and well worth considering.”

“Step inside the clean, chic, cabin and a pressure-sensitive monitor in the driver’s seat fires up the electric motors automatically. Now brace yourself, because the near-silent Polestar 2 has Concorde-like acceleration but without the noisy roar.”

“Polestar is a new brand and an unfamiliar one. Not for long, I suspect, because the Polestar 2 is the most desirable EV that we’ve tested so far. Competition in the EV world is hotting up and that’s great news for the customer and enthusiast.”

“After five hours and 300 miles at the wheel of the Polestar 2, I found myself wondering how I could put one on my driveway. The 2 drives beautifully and I find it enormously driveable, but in terms of range and charging it falls short of the Tesla Model 3.”

“It’s hard to escape the word ‘lovely’ when describing the Polestar 2. It’s endowed with one of the loveliest interiors of any current electric car and a lovely sense of sophisticated maturity that makes Tesla’s farting indicators seem rather gauche. This is not the best electric car out there, and neither is it the best value, but it’s still satisfying and truly desirable.”

“Polestar may be seen as coming second to Tesla – but that’s often a good place to be. The market is small but growing fast and this likeable car could catch the wave thanks to a more familiar layout for those who have struggled with Tesla’s unashamed disruptive design (and so-so reliability).”

“The Polestar 2 is a thrillingly quick electric car with an exquisite interior and a decent range. Just bear in mind that the similarly-priced Telsa Model 3 Performance is better to drive, has a longer range, a better charging network and is more practical.”
