- 2022 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor Review | Honest Car Reviews UK
Welcome to my honest review of the Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor 78kWh / 300 kW version.
This car has a myriad of features thanks to the inclusion of the Pilot Pack, the Pro Pack, and the Performance Pack which includes some gorgeous 4 pot Brembo Brakes and a Glorious set of 20" Alloy Wheels. The standard price for one of these cars is £45,900, the one I tested was £58,800.
The Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor has a WLTP range of 335 miles. Has a 0-62mph time of 4.7 seconds, the power output is 408 hp with 660Nm of torque - nice!
The build quality of the Polestar 2 is absolutely top class, as is the Android-based infotainment system.

Where this car really excels over it's main rivals is the car's ability to drive calmly around town with ease, as well as effortlessly launching itself into hyperspace with only a slightly heavier right foot required.
We obviously ask the obvious Polestar 2 vs Tesla Model 3 question in this video as well as looking in detail at the Polestar 2 interior, infotainment system, boot space, and rear cabin.
If I were still a company car driver, and not a penniless TH-camr, I would be ordering one of these cars right now - it's that good!

‘Definitely Not Giving the Polestar Back’ 🤓… go for it Jim, it sounds like it could outrun the boys in blue, and the chase videos will get you to 20k subs 😄👍
Haha!!! I wish!!!
I'm picking one up in a couple of weeks. Exactly the same spec. Your review has really reassured me, and made me look forward to it a lot more.
I’m not jealous at all…great car which you will love 👍
Thank you for the video. Range anxiety is an issue. How quickly a car warms up in winter. In real terms what is the range of EV's in Winter. These are the questions that perhaps if answered truthfully would encourage more people down the path.
And of course a soild 100% guarantee from the government that every charger works when you get to it. 😊
WLTP needs a major rethink
Awesome looking car , ... butchers tears lol . Really good range from this car . This will be a great seller. For those who can afford it obviously.
I just wish I was one of them
The seats are made from ‘recycled pea pods and butchers tears’ 😂😂😂 love it!
Great video as always and a pretty tasty Motor. Tesla’s look like amazing cars but are a little more popular these days so this is certainly a great alternative. Wish I could afford one though.
I was quite pleased with that one mate.
I'd love one of these!
For me, this knocks a Tesla into a cocked hat. The Polestar began life as a Volvo concept, and was gifted to Polestar by Volvo to complete it's development. It will probably be a better thought out car than a Tesla, as it will have a few decades worth of Volvo input on comfort, safety, and crash-worthiness........ Ah yes Jim, the seats. Volvo are often said to have some of the most comfortable seats you'd find in *any* car.....and like you said, this isn't a Volvo. But I'll wager the seats are of Volvo design though..... Money no object, this is what I'd have on my drive..... I'm beginning to see as many of these as I do Teslas in my area......
The seats really are amazing. Fantastic car all round.
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru I’ve driven in both the ‘vegan’ interior and the Napa leather version. The leather seats are ventilated and beautiful, it takes polestar 3 to the next level

@@docjaramillo cant wait for the 3 to come out.
Just ordered the base model as a company car and can’t wait. Although they have pushed my delivery from October back to January… oh well. Good review you need to do more, also enjoy the news keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Dave, I’m sure you’ll be delighted with it.
I'm a big fan of these cars, they were just slightly out of my budget by the time I'd added all the options that I would want. I will certainly be looking at them again when the deal ends on my Enyaq. Great car, great review 👍
Thanks Adam, Enyaq is a great shout too!
Revisiting after having a test drive in the 2024 Dual motor without performance pack.
Great car and quick.
We then went to Tesla and drove the new 3 (although looking a 3 yr old cars)
I’m old school and loved the Polestar so that’s on my list of ‘I want’
I’d be more than happy with one, great thing.
Great review, seriously looking at buying one here in Australia love the colour as well but I think I’d go for the softer setting suspension mate 👍🏻
Thanks mate, it has to be adjusted manually but is no big deal to do. Superb car 👍
I got this version 6 weeks ago here In Tampa and a week later a new Tesla model Y and I really dislike the Tesla, The Polestar 2 is incredable to drive and holding its power, the Tesla leaks so much power, A visit to the beach 2 weeks ago both cars parked in the sun with windshield shades up and 6 hours parked Tesla windows vented lost 55 miles range and the Polestar 2 1 mile.We leave for a long weekend away tomorrow and we have stopped taking the bigger Tesla Y as it is just not nice. I have ordered the new Polestar 3 and I will sell the Tesla Y, We love this Polestar and this review is fantastic and true, there is a little more trunk/boot space under the rear floor and I love the turn signal noise Andrew
Thanks Andrew, I didn’t know that about the Tesla battery loss, seems a bit alarming. I’m glad you like the turn signal sound, I didn’t 😁
I love the Sunshine State by the way, sounds like you’re winning at life 👍☀️
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru We got a new house here and moved our business here from Chicago and we put Tesla solar on the roof and added 2 power walls and now the new EV cars was and is a dream, as you say its the Sunshine state and we had to grab that sun, I am watching all your work, I like the way you put it out there straight up and honest, keep up the great work.
@@andrewlewis3017 that’s awesome, thanks for watching 👍
Great review Jim👍If I was in the market for an EV I'd definitely have a test drive
Thanks Jonathan, glad you enjoyed it
Great review. Love these cars - I find them really unique on the road. Just a bit costly for me!
And for me, superb cars though.
I’m still considering an EV and was very keen on a Polestar 2, however I was disappointed by the rear headroom which easily touches the back of your head, it just seems a bit cramped to me. I hadn’t considered Tesla but went and had a look and I was very impressed. I feel that the Polestar shows the fact that it’s based on a Volvo EX40 ICE base and that makes it halfway between an ICE and EV with layout and the controls. I personally prefer that Tesla have started with a blank canvas and a new take on whats possible with an EV.
Ok
You’re looking good in that Jim 👍🏻 I really like the spec and I’ll say that again, I would rather have a polestar that a bloody boring Tesla. Design, presence and attention to details, like those lovely frameless side mirrors. I just love it. Annoyingly, they still haven’t sort AppleCarPlay out, which I find a bit ridiculous for - 50k car. Also, how did you find the one-driving pedal?
To be honest I’m hooked on carplay but the infotainment system is so good I really haven’t missed it. The only other car I’ve found that with in recent times has been the Tesla.
Carplay was released a few weeks ago.
Interesting review...I think you liked it! Interesting comment about build quality, which would seem to be better than Tesla. My only concern is one that comes up in Autocar et Al... How easy is it to mis-use the touch screen when jiggling down imperfect UK roads?
I don’t think it’s a big problem, the voice commands work well by the way.
I absolutely love this car. Cannot decide if I like it in the thunder or the midnight better
Thunder, thunder, thunder......
I got my 2023 Polestar 2 PPP. in THUNDER! You were absolutely right. BEAUTIFUL. What a fabulous and fun car.
Great review. Nice to see what's out there but sadly most of the EV's are just too big. Won't fit in the garage, difficult down lanes and 1960's car parks. The huge size is just too much.
👍
Just belatedly found this: thanks Jim, most excellent.
These are 'just' kicking off at barely £20k used now, so getting within my reach at last.
Also, fancy recycling vegans into upholstery, what will they think of next?
😂 at £20k it's a no brainer really - still one of my fave press cars.
Hi, could you please provide the car colour and seat trim details please. I really like that specification and am planning to purchase a 2024 version. Thank you for the very original review
I know the paint was Thunder Grey but that's it.
I've fallen in love with this car. I am waiting patiently for my company to give me the thumbs up for salary sacrifice and then to get the lease. until then I am having fun with my Honda Civic turbo sport 😁
I miss this one a lot
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru not surprised at all. However I have just test driven the XC40 and that stole my heart as well
@@Beastius24 I had an XC40, great car but the Polestar wins for me. Can’t go far wrong with either though.
Imagine you hiding it in your neighbours garage and then he also claims it was stolen from him because he also hidden it somewhere else. 😂
😂
Recycled pea pods and butchers’ tears 😭😝… 👏✌️
I do try....
✔️𝗕𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗲 𝗘𝗩 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 www.bumblebeeev.com/notaguru✔️
👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Try adding full spec on screen please... Still don't know the wltp range for this...?
I said it in the video 335, it’s also in the video description by the way
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Went to 330 couldn't see it on screen (screen graphics), but yes, it's in the description detail...
@@thrilled2bits I say it at 1:10 in the video.
Not 335 according to polestar
@@robdavies9398 on my spec sheet from Polestar PR for that car that I’m in it says 335 WLTP so that’s what’s in the video.
what color is this model? magnesium?
Thunder!
you wondered why they chose the tone for the turn signal. it's designed to sound like a twig snapping in the swedish forest.
Really? Clever stuff eh? But I still think it sounds like electrical interference. 👍👍
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru yup.. no joke... but yeh, it is kinda loud. i have my eye on one. have to wait til my volvo lease is up. they won't let me do a pull ahead eventhough it's essentially the same company. gorgeous car tho.
@@cub35guy I seriously loved it, one of the best cars I’ve driven (not just EV’s) and I drive a lot. I’d want all those extras though!
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru nice!
Is the polestar 40k better than an MG ZS cheapie?
Yes, the MG is great value for money but the Polestar (especially the one I had here) is very special.
Is that even a question? The two cars are aimed at totally different markets and buyers...
@@Brian-om2hhI understand the MG is at the lower end of the market hence (cheapie) but the average car buyer keeps the vehicle 3 or 4 years. Is the polestar 40k better, I guess it depends if you’re an evhead, 😂
Every single time you say S there's a whistle.
Super
Tesla Model3 Dual Motor / Long Range or even Performance spec.
Sorry, what do you mean?
The Tesla commits the biggest crime a car can do, be incredibly dreary to look at.
For a car that isn't far off £55k, the Tesla looks so boring and worth about 20k.
Having driven a Performance Model 3 and a Polestar, the Polestar is the one I would take home. Tesla is like every American product, built to a price, and it badly shows. Yes, it has better range, but so what.
Nick, ive known cleaners who work damn harder, harder than your parents probably. They stand no chance at all of sending their kids to private school. Working hard has nothing to do with wealth.
Did you post this comment on the wrong video? or is it SPAM!!!!!
There’s plenty of cars better than Polestars, they have internal combustion engines not 2 ton of batteries and chew tyres like there’s no tomorrow
Ok
It'll be interesting to see whether your view changes once we begin to see many more Clean Air Zones in towns and cities.... chewing tyres may be the least of your worries.
Seats won’t matter on a long journey you’ll be stopping and waiting 30 mins plus to charge every few hours 🤣🤣🤣
To be fair mate, most people have a break every few hours, it’s not really a chore.
I would argue they're even more important considering the added time to the journey. especially in conditions where you might not want to get out while charging such as cold weather, night time, etc.
You’re looking good in that Jim 👍🏻 I really like the spec and I’ll say that again, I would rather have a polestar that a bloody boring Tesla. Design, presence and attention to details, like those lovely frameless side mirrors. I just live it. Annoyingly, they still haven’t sort AppleCarPlay out, which I find a bit ridiculous for - 50k car. Also, how did you find the one-driving pedal?
Sorry, forgot to answer, one pedal driving is not my thing, I find it odd, especially as I swap cars so often. I tried it and it works well, as I do in every EV, but I can’t imagine I’d ever really use it personally.
apple car play is available now on software version 2.2.
