I am lucky enough to currently have a week-long loan of a Polestar 2 Dual Motor Performance Pack. This is my first time in a modern Volvo-based product, and my first time living with a Polestar. So far, I’ve taken notice of several thoughtful touches that separate the Polestar 2 from its competitors.
The Polestar 2 has been around since 2020, but its continual improvements make it a more and more compelling vehicle as the years go by. It distinguishes itself from the Tesla Model 3 not only by being better looking, but also by achieving a chic, minimalistic, almost mid-century modern interior without being austere and unadorned. The interior also distinguishes the Polestar 2 from more traditional offerings like the BMW I4, and from the gaudy Mercedes-Benz EQ interiors. Its balance of minimalism paired with tasteful materials, designs, textures, lighting, wrapped in a solid Swedish bow. These are 15 of my favorite features of the 2024 Polestar 2 Dual Motor Performance Pack.
