The 2026 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 40% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 32% 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 655 km (407 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.5 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 205 kW. Its listed range is about 11% 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 14% 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.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Long Range Single Motor and Long Range Dual Motor. Across the range, the specifications span 299 hp to 421 hp, 4.3 s to 6.2 s, and 592 km to 655 km, while listed starting prices run from $48,400-$53,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2026 Polestar 2 is strongest on price and range, 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.
