Polestar has very recently launched in Ireland, and we’ve been lucky enough to test drive their new Polestar 2. It’s a fully electric car with a range of up to 551km. It’s got a 78kWh batter which can charge from 10-80% in just 35 minutes. It’s available in all-wheel drive too, as well as with a performance pack which boosts it to 476bhp! It’s fun and agile to drive, has a respectable range and is very eye catching. Check out our full review Prices start at €51,135 including grants, however the press car we had on test was €74,000 as it has the long range dual motor as well as the performance pack. The performance pack includes 20” forged alloy wheels, Brembo brake callipers, some yellow seatbelts as well as a few other small bits. Polestar was what to Volvo, what AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. They have now gone out as a stand alone brand (like CUPRA), and will be focusing on making EVs. That said the platform the Polestar 2 is built on is the same as the Volvo XC40 Recharge - which is fantastic. We hope you enjoy our review, and thank you for watching.
