The Polestar 2 electric sedan is the Swedish brand’s entry-level vehicle, slotting below a pair of new crossovers. It offers precise handling and solid performance, but the interior is rather tight and rear visibility could be better. The Single Motor variant features rear-wheel drive and provides up to 505 km of range, while the Dual Motor variant benefits from all-wheel drive but limits range to 447 km. A Performance Package boosts output to 469 horsepower.
