Polestar 2 | 2023
Standard features

Polestar 2’s origami-inspired headlights can dazzle without dazzling. Upon selecting the active high beam function, camera sensors in the windshield monitor for the headlights of approaching vehicles or the taillights of cars directly ahead. Once detected, Polestar 2’s headlights automatically switch to low beam. 

The 288 LED rear lamp shines more brightly on a sunny day to improve visibility. When it’s dark the system dims the lights, saving power and increasing energy efficiency.

For ease of manoeuvring in tight spaces, you can tilt the side mirrors downwards when reverse gear is engaged. When parked, you can fold them in to lessen the risk of damage from passing vehicles.

The Polestar 2 comes as standard with 19” 5-Double Spoke Black Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels, fitted with 245/45R19 tyres. 

The sensor tells the wipers to engage no matter what the level of rain, allowing you to maintain your focus on the road.

The Polestar 2’s front and rear seats are upholstered in expressive 3D embossed textile, influenced by the fashion industry. 3D Etched deco inlays made of injection-moulded plastic with a striking geometric pattern highlight the technical inspiration behind the design.

Both the driver’s seat and the seat cushion itself are adjustable, enabling a highly customisable level of comfort for the driver. Controls on the side of the seat allow adjustments of the seat and the door mirrors. The backrest is adjusted manually.

Adjustable seats aren’t reserved for the driver. The front passenger seat is every bit as comfortable and customisable as the driver’s seat.

The front seats also boast adjustable lumbar support. Controlled by 4-way ergonomic buttons on the edge of the seat.

An elevated sitting experience. The driver seat and front passenger seat are electrically heated with individual three-level touch controls as standard.

As Polestar originates in Sweden, the ability to fit skis in a car is a natural design requirement. Fittingly, the rear seats boast a ski hatch as standard. 

As well as front and rear general lighting and reading lamps, lights are integrated into the handles. When the front door is opened, the area underneath is illuminated, as well as the floor by the front seats. The distinctive area housing the equally distinctive gear-shifter is illuminated at all times.

No more dazzling. The frameless rear view mirror automatically dims when it senses bright headlights from a car approaching from the rear. 

Experience high sound quality throughout the cabin. The Polestar 2’s High Performance Audio system delivers 250 watts through eight speakers, including a bass boosting air woofer mounted under the bonnet just below the windscreen. 

The Polestar 2 is the first car to come with a built-in Google¹ infotainment system. It includes Google Assistant, which understands user commands in various languages; Google Maps¹, which provides real-time and up-to-date route information, including charging options; and Google Play Store¹, which offers optimised in-car apps for seamless integration with one’s digital life. 

With Apple CarPlay, you can use an iPhone via voice commands and the car’s large touch screen, allowing you to keep your attention on the road. Listen to music, make phone calls, get driving instructions, send/receive messages and use Siri, all while remaining focused on driving. CarPlay works with select iOS devices.

You can use the connect button inside the car for assistance and help in case of emergency. The Polestar 2 even makes an emergency call itself in the event of an accident or if it’s being stolen.

There are two USB Type-C connections in the front, and two more in the rear of the car. You can use them to charge your compatible devices, but there is no data connection. USB Type-C is more flexible and faster than USB and provides faster charging speed for phones and other devices.

Reversing is reimagined in the Polestar 2, with the centre display offering an unobstructed view of the area behind the car. It’s also possible to zoom in on the tow hitch when towing a trailer.

Four ultrasound sensors in the front bumper tell you how close the Polestar 2 is to an obstacle, when manoeuvring slowly or parking. The distance is shown graphically on the big centre display and an intermittent warning sound increases in frequency the closer the car gets to the obstacle.

The electronically-controlled climate 2-system, allows the driver and passenger to set their ideal temperature individually on the centre touch screen. It’s also possible to adjust the temperature on both sides simultaneously. In addition to floor vents, there are uniquely designed, adjustable air vents that synchronise with the front air vents. 

If you have a key fob, key tag or Polestar Digital Key with you, you only have to put your hand on a door handle or touch the tailgate button to unlock the car. Repeat the process to lock the Polestar 2. You can even open the tailgate with just a simple kick under the rear bumper. A 1m-long sensor detects your foot and opens the tailgate. 

With the Polestar 2, the driver’s phone is the authentication device. You can use the Polestar app to connect to the car. The car only unlocks when you touch the door handle. A key fob and key tag are also included.

When you lock the Polestar 2, the standard-fitted alarm system activates. The alarm is triggered if any of the doors or hatches are opened, or if any of the windows are broken. It’s also triggered if the Polestar 2 has been jacked up for towing or wheel removal. The inclination and interior movement sensors can be turned off if people or pets are waiting inside the car.
