2024 Polestar 2 Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

Polestar somewhat misleadingly labels all 2024 Polestar 2 trim levels, both the single-motor and dual-motor configurations, as "long range." There is no shorter- or standard-range option. So don't read that phrase and think you overlooked something. You did not.

Long Range Single Motor
The entry-level version of the Polestar 2 includes the following standard equipment:

  • Single electric motor
  • Rear-wheel drive
  • 82-kWh battery pack
  • EPA-estimated 320 miles of driving range
  • 11-kW onboard charger
  • DC fast-charging capability (up to 205 kW)
  • Adjustable one-pedal drive (releasing the accelerator brakes the car to a stop)
  • 19-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
  • Keyless entry and starting
  • Vegan interior with textile upholstery and floor mats
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Heated front seats
  • Power liftgate
  • Four USB-C ports
  • 11.2-inch infotainment screen
  • Navigation
  • Bluetooth
  • Google built-in infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless charging

Every Polestar 2 comes with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assist systems, including:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic warning (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your path while you're in reverse)
  • Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the 2 and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)

Several option packages are available to upgrade the Polestar 2 with additional equipment:

  • Plus Pack
    • Heat pump to improve driving range in cold climates
    • Upgraded interior lighting
    • WeaveTech vegan synthetic leather upholstery
    • Wood interior trim
    • Power front seats
    • Panoramic sunroof
    • Heated rear seats
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Heated windshield washer jets
    • Digital key (allows you to use a paired smartphone as the vehicle's key)
    • 13-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system
  • Pilot Pack
    • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Polestar 2 and the car in front)
    • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
    • Emergency braking system (detects an unresponsive driver and brings the vehicle to a stop)
    • Adaptive headlights with Pixel LED technology (swivel with a turn of the steering wheel to better illuminate curves)
    • Cornering LED foglights

An optional Tow package brings the Polestar 2's maximum towing capacity to 2,000 pounds.

Long Range Dual Motor
In addition to all of the standard equipment from the Single Motor, the more powerful 2 also includes the Pilot pack. Otherwise, the only differences are in the battery and motors:

  • 78-kWh battery pack
  • Dual electric motors (421 hp, 546 lb-ft)
  • All-wheel drive
  • EPA-estimated 276 miles of range
  • DC fast-charging capability (up to 155 kW)

In addition to the Plus Pack, the dual-motor Polestar 2 is available with a significant improvement in performance:

  • Performance Pack
    • Software upgrade good for 455 hp and 546 lb-ft of torque
    • 20-inch forged aluminum wheels
    • Performance tires
    • Sport suspension tuning with manually adjustable dampers
    • Brembo four-piston brakes with ventilated and drilled front discs
    • Gold exterior and interior accents

Which 2 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Polestar offers both the single- and dual-motor 2s in either base form or with a Plus package. Its longer range and faster DC charging capability make the Long Range Single Motor our choice, and a minimal upcharge for the additional comfort and safety features makes the Pilot package a no-brainer.
