Polestar 2 now has a rear-wheel drive model with 300 miles of range.
The car’s performance is improved as well due to a new permanent magnet motor capable of 299 horsepower and 361 pound-feet of torque, versus the FWD’s 231 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. The RWD is quicker now too with a 5.9 second 0-60mph acceleration .
The RWD’s new battery is also more environmentally-friendly according to Polestar. The automaker states that the new pack has improved cell chemistry that reduced carbon emissions from seven tons per car to 5.9. Polestar is planning a full life cycle assessment of the battery pack later in 2023. Oddly, the dual-motor all-wheel drive versions of the Polestar 2 don’t get the bigger battery, but they do sport a new drivetrain and efficiency improvements. The car now moves primarily on the new rear motor while the new front asynchronous motor kicks on for support. In total, the system pushes 421 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque — up from 408 horsepower and 467 pound-feet of torque.
Matter of fact, many of the 2024 Polestar 2 improvements, including its front fascia change, and the inclusion of a, come from the Polestar 3. One thing the Polestar 2 isn’t getting from the 3, however, is Lidar . But the Polestar 2 now gets the Pilot pack with features like cross-traffic alert and 360-degree camera included with the dual-motor model in North America.
Polestar, a joint venture between Volvo and Chinese automaker Geely, has been one of the more interesting electric vehicle manufacturers on the market. It’s been gaining steam too: Polestar
