Polestar, the electric performance brand of Volvo Cars, has announced the launch of its newest model, the Polestar 2. The Polestar 2 is an all-electric fastback that is designed to compete with Tesla's Model 3.

The Polestar 2 is powered by a 78 kWh battery pack, which provides a driving range of up to 292 miles on a single charge. It also features two electric motors, which provide a combined output of 408 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque. This allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds.

The Polestar 2 comes with a host of advanced features, including a 11-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, and a Harman Kardon sound system. It also comes standard with a suite of driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.


The interior of the Polestar 2 is designed with a focus on sustainability, featuring materials such as recycled plastic and vegan leather. The car also comes with a "Google Android Automotive" operating system, which provides a wide range of connected services, including access to Google Maps, Google Assistant and the Google Play Store.


The Polestar 2 is available for order now starting at $63,000, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2022.


The new Polestar 2 is a significant step for the brand towards its goal of becoming a leader in the electric vehicle market. With its advanced technology, attractive design and competitive pricing, the Polestar 2 is poised to be a strong contender in the electric vehicle space.
