The Polestar 2 is set for a mid-life refresh with power, performance and range upgrades all on the cards, as well as a shift to a rear-wheel drive layout
The refreshed dual-motor 2 is now boosted by 14bhp to 416bhp, while torque has been increased by 59lb ft to 546lb ft, thanks to a new rear motor – now the primary drive source – supported on the front axle by a new asynchronous motor.A new permanent-magnet motor is fitted to the single-motor 2, which provides a significant increase in power and torque over the previous model, up by 67bhp and 118lb ft .
This means the single-motor 2 can now dispatch the 0-62mph sprint in a claimed 6.2sec, 1.2sec quicker than before. New batteries also arrive with the refresh, with a 82kWh pack for long-range models providing a considerable increase in the 2’s WLTP range. It's up by 65 miles for the dual-motor variant and 52 miles for the single-motor .The standard-range model retains its 69kWh battery capacity, but efficiency improvements provide a 25-mile uplift . Charging speed has been boosted by 20kW to 150kW.
On the outside, the 2 gets a refreshed, more solid-looking front end, bringing it in line with the upcoming Polestar 3 SUV. This is due to the addition of Polestar's Smartzone, which hosts active-safety features including the front-facing camera and mid-range radar. “Typically in the car industry, a facelift introduces superficial visual changes that often destroy the original intention of the car’s design theme,” said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath.
