My first review of 2024 and my first ever Polestar experience was in this refreshed MY24 Polestar 2 Dual Motor Performance Plus! (long name right?) While the exterior isn’t much changed, the entire character of the 2 is new for 2024 with new motors, a RWD bias, and loads of quirks. This tester came in around $68k. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⚡️ @Alllcarnews Spec Sheet:
-LG Chem 78kWh battery (75kWh useable)
-455 HP, 546 Ib-ft Torque
-247mile EPA Range / 155kw DC fast Charging
-112 MPGe City, 100 MPGe Highway, 32kWh/100miles
-4,719lbs Curb weight
-New Synchronus rear motor, new induction front motor
-0-60 MPH Tested in around 4.1-4.4 seconds (winter tires)⚡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Highs:
+The chassis control impressed me, largely thanks to the RWD bias, playful rear end, torquey eMotors, and slick manually adjustable Ohlins suspension.

+The styling remains distinctive inside and out, now with a smoother front facia, and epic polestar logos, like the glowing roof example, gold accents, and open pore wood interior.

Lows:
-The interior ergonomics need rethinking: quirky cupholder situation, unnecessarily wide center console, tight rear headroom, unusual charger port placement, and hazard light switch placement.

-While new RWD models can now achieve around 300miles of range, this Dual Motor Performance is reduced down to 200-247miles of range.

-The seats are fantastic but for a performance model they could use more bolstering.

It’s a unique product that stands out in the EV space but we have yet to truly experience a ground up Polestar ethos, coming soon in the 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Score: 6.5/10
