Fast and Sustainable: Review of Polestar 2

Race car engineering combined with the sophistication of electric powered technologies, the Polestar 2 offers both high performance, dynamic and minimalist design


Polestar 2 in Jupiter

My First Drive


  • On first impression I simply thought it's quite futuristic in design and I really liked the unique colour called Jupiter.

  • Over the years I have seen others drive Polestar on the roads and I have always admired the Northern Star shaped logo

  • And right away you can tell both the interior and exterior are high in quality across all areas such as design, engineering and safety features


How Did The Test Drive Go?



Polestar Infotainment runs on Android OS


  • I really liked the race car style design and drive



Polestar 2's native Android Automotive OS was the world's first. Today, regular software improvements ensure the digital in-car experience is always optimised, while access to the latest in-car apps mean the experience remains cutting edge.

  • The performance is felt strongly in the acceleration even along the esplanade where at times it can be bumper to bumper.

  • It has regenerative braking to recover energy back into the car

What are Polestar's Sustainability Features


  • Polestar is clear about where they are headed and their vision is supported by its sustainability credentials


More responsible. More sustainable. The ventilated Zinc- or Charcoal-coloured Nappa leather upholstery is produced in collaboration with Bridge of Weir in Scotland. This ensures that it’s traceable, chrome-free, and adheres to strict animal welfare standards. The colours extend to the door inserts.

  • Polestar's sustainability features aren't just seen in its car but also its staff and so immediately you know that Polestar's DNA and culture attracts passion and drive through human talent and aspiration


WeaveTech is a vegan, PVC-based leather alternative. Available in Slate or Charcoal, it’s dirt and moisture-resistant, and sustainably manufactured via a process that reduces the amount of chemical plasticisers from an average 45% to just 1%.
Mindful use of resources yet sophisticated and durable

  • Perforated and clean design elements in the materials innovation space


Frunk storage with cable connections

  • 4L frunk storage space you can use for more personal essentials


Layered deep storage space

  • Layered deep storage space and secures groceries and other items from moving about in the back

  • With seats down additional storage capabilities for a bicycle and other luggage


Final Thoughts


  • It's uniquely sophisticated and leads in the sustainability space through its all-electric fleet offerings

  • With Polestar, I strongly believe that what you are investing in is a better future where you are associated with a company that stands firmly in its goals and commitment.
