The 2023 Polestar 2 is a battery-electric sedan with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Facelift generation. The Long Range Single Motor is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Long Range Single Motor version develops 299 hp and 490 Nm (361 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.2 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 205 km/h (127 mph). Its power output is about 41% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 38% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 82.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 635 km (395 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.8 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 200 kW. Its listed range is about 8% above the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,606 mm (181.3 in) in length, 1,859 mm (73.2 in) in width, and 1,482 mm (58.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,735 mm (107.7 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 405 litres (14.3 cu ft), expanding to 1,095 litres (38.7 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,010 kg (4,431 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). That cargo volume is about 20% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2023 Polestar 2 is strongest on price and towing capacity, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
