2022 Polestar 2 | MotorWeek First Drive

Volvo's all-electric Polestar brand is lowering their prices and adding more range with a new single motor version to their 2022 Polestar 2 lineup. Brian Robinson headed out to New Mexico to drive the latest Polestar 2's for the first time.

Beautifully designed car from Volvo. I’m currently driving a 2015.5 S60 sedan now, and love it.
Be patient about range and charging stations, these will all come in time. By 2025, when I’ll be in the market, they will be lots better all the way around. Thank you.

Is John Davis still with us ? He never put us to sleep.

I've got the launch edition, it's a fantastically fun car to drive, even if you're stuck driving the speed limit :D These improvements and price reductions seem like pretty good stuff!

Good to see more BEVs in the world. Now all we gotta do is work on Motorweek's statements like "worry about finding some place to plug in" <facepalm>

Polestar could also have considered doing a P2 wagon/Cross Country, but will it happen remains uncertain.

Challenges to being an early adopter! My Polestar 2 EV was in the Volvo/Polestar service dept for the 2nd time in its short lease life, this time for 26 days, to try to fix software and possibly hardware issues. With the help/intervention of Polestar corporate, the car was finally returned yesterday afternoon with 45% remaining so I plugged it in and I couldn't immediately charge it. Back to the service dept today; the brutal saga continues! According to IHS Markit, forecasted expected volume for 2021 is only about 250 vehicles/month. Polestar corporate, its PS2 vehicle, the customer service team, vehicle repair services, and parts inventory are clearly not ready for prime time in the US! It is not like you can go to another dealer or repair shop; your are stuck with the one service location and team. Lesson learned?

$50k for less than 250 miles of range in the AWD version is crazy. I would like to go EV, but ranges have got to increase significantly and/or prices need to drop in step with the reduced utility

Is just me or is this guy's voice makes you want to fall asleep? LoL 😂

Esse canal é uma maravilha só carrões da hora carros do futuro que são lançamento em 2022 👍😁🇧🇷🇧🇷

Anything under a 300 mile range at this point in time is not that impressive, especially at the price point of these vehicles

I absolutely love their design and the new precept is stunning. Good that they preform so well too. I find the Tesla designs boring (que the hate...)

[vancityguy]

Sticking with my 4Runner. I'm sure they'll make synthetic fuel or Toyota will make it burn hydrogen.

Too bad getting rid of the rear engine instead of the front 👎🏻
