  • For this Thursday update, we have the 2022 Polestar 2 for our review. You might recall Polestar as the performance division of Volvo, but nowadays Polestar means Electric vehicles or Hybrid models. It seems like everybody is throwing electric cars or EVs into the market, but the 2022 Polestar 2 shines from the crowd with its stylish exterior and interior design. You can get Polestar 2 with either a single motor turning the front wheels or a dual-motor system working as an AWD system, and our tester came with the dual-motor system cranking about 408hp and 487lb. ft of torque, which is even more than Kia EV6. So, let’s go out and see how this 2022 Polestar 2 looks and drives on the road.

    Just drove a rental today. Yeah it feels good. Took 10 minute to get used to that single-pedal drive. However the backseat is mainly for kids or short adults. The seat is short and the back is kinda vertical. No adjustment also the back door is positioned towards the rear side which means you have to hold you feet when stepping outside.

    Another great video. I always enjoy your enthusiasm.
    I was seriously considering this car but a few things kept me in the Hyundai/Kia camp when my final decision was made.
    For one, the size. I was surprised at how much smaller the Polestar is.
    Also, although they are now apparently making Apple CarPlay available for the Polestar, it's been problematic from what I've read. I like that both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatability have been part of Hyundai/Kia products for quite some time. It just gives you a few more options.
    Finally, the glass roof with no sunshade is a dealbreaker.
    When I realised that the Kia EV6 GT had an operational panoramic sunroof, I went right to my local dealership and put in an order.
    Unfortunately, here in the Canadian market, I'll be waiting about 12 months for my new car to arrive but that's OK.
    I'm still loving my 2017 Ioniq EV so there's no hurry for us to part company.

    I took six months to choose my car. Looked at the Mach e, EV6, Tesla 3, and the Polestar. Just didn't love the Mach E, nor the Tesla...from a design standpoint. Already have an X5 SUV, so wasn't looking to replace it just yet. Narrowed it down to the EV6 and the Polestar 2. It was a close contest, I test drove the EV6 - twice, but in the end chose the Polestar 2...overall my impression is that is was a better quality car with superior fit and finish all around and drives like a dream. The EV6's dashboard was too gadgety and the Polestar's Google operating system hands-down the easiest to use in the industry. IMHO

    • @AsianPetrolhead

    I was able to test drive the Polestar 2 twice. It's certainly a very nice car, but in the end the EV6 won out for me, as I purchased a (USA spec) EV6 GT-Line AWD towards the end of February. The interior design and space of the EV6 is far better than the Polestar 2. In addition, it was less money than an equivalent specd' Polestar 2. However, as an Android phone user, I did like the seamless integration of the Polestar's Android automotive infotainment system.

    Great overview! I have tried both Kia’s Highway Drive Assist as well as Volvo’s Pilot assist and actually found the Kia’s driving assists much better in terms of ease of use, staying centered in the lane, as well as making adjustments during driving.
    Does anyone else find this as well? On longer road-trips I much prefer using the Kia system over the Volvo’s - but ultimately both work well.

    I like both cars, but have bought 2 days ago the EV6. More space, better consumption and for me a MUST HAVE for a BEV is a 230V AC power supply and V2load. The EV6 feels more sporty because of the better stearing wheel feeling. The accelaration of the PS2 (4,7 sec to 100km/h) is faster than of the EV6 (5,2sec) but doesnt feel like this. The high speed of the EV6 (185km/h) is slower than of the PS2 (205 km/h) but I dont need it. The Android system I am missing in the EV6. If the PS2 has 230V AC and V2load, I had ordered one in the cheapest AWD version with the Moon or Midnight colour, because of the price. (51.900,- Euro here in Austria, but without heat pump). Volvo / Polestar, please implement 230V AC and V2load. Can't wait to get my EV6 AWD in Yacht Blue next week.

    Polestar is seriously one of my favourite new brands atm. The Polestar 2 is of course great but they also make the Polestar 1 coupe, which is faster than a Bentley Continental GT (GT does 4.3 sec but Polestar 3.7 sec to 60) but around 60 000 pounds less expensive, *incredibly* rare (unlike the Bentley) and still very luxurious and high-tech. Also looks much much better than the Bentley imo. Dream car right there. 😄

    Love listening to you but really this is a preliminary review that others have done much better. For instance you didn't bother to mention that you have the performance package with olin's suspension which is the best handling model but not one everyone will get. I agree about the paddle shifter Regen being the best thing around but the polestar is known to be the best handling EV and much better than the ev6.

    I'm between this and the EV6. Personally I prefer the Polestar's styling, but for some reason I really hate the transmission tunnel. It just makes it feel like an in-between model while they sort out a proper EV platform like Kia/Hyundai and VW/Audi. I test drove the Polestar today and enjoyed it; personally like the size and I've two young kids that will fit fine in the back. I still may end up going for the EV6 because of that stupid transmission tunnel.

    The Polestar 2 compares more with the Tesla Model 3 or the BMW i4 than the EV6. Actually the GV60 is probably the closest Korean EV to the Polestar in size and max performance (at least until the EV6 GT comes out). I don't know if the BMW i4 hatchback (either the M50 or the eDrive40) is available in Korea, but i think that would be a great EV to review. It performs even better than the Polestar 2 (especially the M50 with adaptive suspension and air suspension). The only issue (besides the rabbit teeth) is that it's very heavy. The single motor eDrive40 is slightly heavier than the dual motor GV60, while the M50 is over 5,000 lbs or almost 2,300 kg. It's also a little more expensive (around $55,000 -$75,000) than the GV60 will be. But for a non-dedicated platform, it is very impressive. Like Hyundai/Genesis/Kia, BMW's EVs are much more better built (the actual car parts besides the batteries and motors, like the body, paint, chassis, suspension tuning and interior) than the Teslas. Much more premium and luxury. Who would have guessed that the best carmakers would also make the best built and driving and riding EVs?

    I was unhappy with the steering feel of my Ioniq 5 AWD Limited, and test drove one of these recently. I found the seats sorely lacking side bolstering support, the steering to be lighter than the Ioniq’s in sports mode, and rear visibility practically non-existent. This car has a lot of potential, but it’s not on par with the Kia EV6 or Hyundai Ioniq 5 at their highest trims (which are still cheaper than this).

    Performance wise and handling, the Polestar wins hands down vs the non GT EV6. Comfort for all occupants and ease of ingress/egress, the EV6 takes the cake hands down, not even close. I rented a all-wheel-drive through store two in Vancouver, I got to drive it up to Whistler and is pretty awesome. Luckily we only had two people because with with our seats back and relax there is barely any room for a size 4 shoe person in back.

The Polestar 2 lacks the two-way V2L technology that the Korean models have to be able to charge another BEV or connect any electrical device. 3. The Polestar 2 lacks 800 volt technology, so its DC charging is only 150 kW, while the Korean models' DC charging is up to 250 kW. 4. The Polestar 2 lacks the interior roominess of the Korean models. 5. The Polestar 2 lacks the storage capacity in the trunks that the Korean models have and at a higher price.
