After spinning off from Volvo, Polestar has carved out its own identity and my car proves it. The performance is exhilarating, the minimalist interior is beautifully made, and the whole ownership experience feels modern and fuss-free. Charging is quick and the design still draws compliments months later.
Thrilling performance, beautiful build, modern ownership
Polestar delivers a genuinely premium electric performance car with sharp handling and a tasteful, tech-forward interior. It feels special every time I drive it and the safety pedigree is reassuring. My only complaint is the rear visibility is poor, so I rely heavily on the cameras when parking.
Sharp handling, premium tech-led cabin
Poor rear visibility
I love how my Polestar drives and the build quality is reassuringly solid, very much in the Volvo mould. The catch is the real-world range, which drops a fair bit in cold weather compared to the official figure. Torn because everything else is excellent but the range planning adds stress on longer trips.
Solid build, refined drive
Winter range shortfall
My Polestar has been a delight, blending Swedish design with genuinely engaging performance. The Google-based infotainment is the best system I have used and updates arrive over the air smoothly. The only minor letdown is the firm ride over broken city streets.
Excellent infotainment, engaging to drive
Firm ride on rough roads
The Polestar 2 looks stunning and the Scandinavian minimalist cabin is a lovely place to sit. Where I am genuinely torn is the service experience, since the network spun off from Volvo is still small and a software issue meant a long wait for an appointment. Beautiful car, support still finding its feet.
