for some reasons this video is way more engaging than other review videos. the only one I've watched from the beginning to end and without speeding

Love my 2022 Polestar 2 dual motor with Plus/Pilot packs. The best thing about it is the drive. It’s not Tesla tech by any means and certainly not a “tesla killer” but IMHO much better looking, better build and better drive. And doesn’t include a big fat marshmallow as CEO

I‘m driving a Polestar 2 for 1.5 years. My verdict:
1.) very accurate review
2.) I would not change for anything else (except a Polestar 2 with ventlated seats)

Just picked up my new 2022 polestar 2 (thunder, dual motor, base - no packs) a couple of weeks ago. I love it! You are quite right with the serene drive when you desire it or the engaging and quick drive if you choose. It does everything well and the power consumption is not as bad as people say. i live in California so no issues with cold, but have been averaging about 31 KWH per 100 miles. Not great but not bad either. Really glad i selected the polestar over the Kia or model 3.

The polestar 2 and rivian truck are probably 2 of my fave EV's

As each new car seems to be covered in fussy detailing( hello Citroen), the Polestar is refreshing and attractive. Tempting.

Spot on, it was pretty much the reasons why I bought one, have had it now for 3 months. Love every drive. Got both the Pilot (with full Pixel lights) and the Plus pack.

I've had my 2021 Launch Edition (DMLR) for a bit over a year and do NOT regret my decision (am in the USA). I test drove the Tesla Model 3 first and while that was a great EV and is arguably better for frequent road trips due to its legendary efficiency and fast and convenient charging network, I still believe that the Polestar 2 is a much better CAR. I almost never go on road trips and charge nearly 100% at home, so those Tesla advantages are nil for me. The latest OTA update brought the long-awaited CarPlay which I appreciate, but I'm surprised at how little I missed as an iPhone user because the Android Automotive OS in the car covered most of those functions from day 1 without CarPlay. The car is seriously fast and fun to drive, yet practical. I use that boot separator almost every time I go shopping and the Curry Hook works great for safely bringing home take-out during COVID. Yes, it's not a perfect car (nothing is) but for me the advantages far outweigh any niggles and the design really sets it apart from the bland and far-too-common Teslas that are now as commonplace as the Prius was.

I was really impressed with the Polestar 2 last month! Volvo build quality and it looks like a normal car inside and out.

Such a nice car, would love to have one. Thanks Tish!

[rogerdodger]

Fantastic video, well presented and without trying to be funny and putting on an act. Keep up the great work.

All they need to do now is make an Estate version in the R-Design Blue - oooof! Cracking car - but it still feels like an ICE car that was converted to a BEV rather than from the ground up (hence the transmission tunnel). It will be interesting to see what developments will be made with this model.

Good review, nice car. I recently did test drive from polestar dealership in Sydney. 1st impressions were great where we decided to hire the polestar 2 for a couple of days through Hertz to get better feel longer distance. Overall we were not disappointed but a few areas which could be better but not necessary a deal breaker from our perspective. 1. The indicated range on the car was 540 km but we never got higher than 390km when fully charged, couldn’t be sure but we suspect the car was standard 2 wheel front drive, not the extended range battery or all wheel drive. Also interesting when charging recommendation on charge display to charge up to 90% to preserve battery, so guess that further restricts range compared to laboratory test figure’s therefore real world figure at best was 390kms. For the car given it’s size the driver an passenger front seats although comfortable should have more space where centre console between seats cramped the driver & passenger which gave the feeling of being hemmed in. The car we had with sunroof was nice but lack of headroom entering & exiting the vehicle was annoying where you had to duck to avoid hitting head, me being 5’8 that shouldn’t have been a problem. Lastly no idea why but high transmission/ raised section on floor middle of back seat, kind of got in the way, not sure why that was there ! Overall still the car was still really good but before shelving out around $85k on road you would still want to address usability and ergonomics, that said the car and quality was top notch. Still serious about buying but in that price range got to do homework. Ps polestar bringing out updated model year end 23, rear wheel drive and longer range so not really worth buying before unless it’s I want now. Hope this helps anyone looking.

I would get this over a Tesla Model 3.

Excellent car! Drove it for 1000 km in Denmark.

I have also become a huge fan of my Polestar 2 (September 2021) too. To me it is mostly the easy driving. One-peddle drive + enough power for any situation + nice steering + all of the safety gear. That just makes it a pleasure to drive. If I should point to some anoing things it would be the bunch of little issues with the software. The profile switching is sometimes flaky. The radio sometime requires a reboot of the center console to play any sound or to find the stations. And the trip computer window is a pain to get rid of again. But the nice software features by far outweigh the bad ones.

Thanks for a great video. The EV market currently is massively exciting with a range of vehicles and trims within those line-ups to suit most people currently looking .

I’m in the UK (North East) and have just taken delivery of the Genesis GV60 and for someone looking for an SUV with a luxurious feel, a mountain of tech, great charging speed and range the RWD Premium GV60 with appropriate options packs could be the ticket.

I opted for the Innovation Pack (for full driver assists and collision avoidance including HUD, adaptive LED headlights, blind spot monitoring and full surround cameras and 3D representation )

The Comfort Seat Pack (for full front electric seats and electric steering wheel adjustment convenience including ventilate and heated seats)

2nd Row Comfort Pack (for laminated rear glass, rear heated seats and manual rear side blinds)

Nappa Leather Seat Pack ( for suede and leather interior including suede roof lining)

B&O sound system

Sunroof

Outdoor Pack ( for Vehicle to load)

Yes you don’t get something for nothing but with only a £2K premium over a AWD Kia GTLine S and the loss of AWD and compromise of 19” over 20” wheels it’s a compelling choice. Comparisons with the huge price tag of the Tesla Model Y also have to be made.

You pays your money and makes your choice.
And the point is great choices are coming to market all the time.

I'm sat in my caravan in the lake district watching this video. Next door is a bloke who has just brought his big caravan up from the south of England. His car? A pole star 2. He did it In 125 mile sections. Impressive.

Heavily invested in PSNY and waiting for the Polestar 3 reveal before making any decisions buying one 🤞

[SHAMPOOZE]

Took delivery of a Magnesium/Charcoal dual motor last March, best sporty/comfy balance and range with 19 inch rims and amazing without any packs: some aspects honestly for the better without packs, would exactly order the same trim over and over again
