Hardware upgrades

Swedish gold seatbelts

Our definition of performance is incomplete without safety. To emphasise this, the special edition seatbelts have the same distinctive gold colour as the brake callipers and the valve caps.

Interior upgrades

Harman Kardon Premium Sound

Custom-developed for Polestar 2, Harman Kardon Premium Sound delivers 600 watts of powerful, immersive sound through 13 optimally placed speakers. Advanced tuning software eliminates sonic imperfections, ensuring audible refinement throughout the cabin.

Interior upgrades

Panoramic roof

A heightened sense of space. The full-length panoramic roof adds to the spacious feel of the interior by allowing extra light into the cabin. The highly engineered glass cuts out 99.5% of UV radiation and helps maintain the optimal cabin temperature. Its acoustic lamination significantly reduces the level of road noise.

Comfort upgrades

Air quality

Air quality uses a dedicated particulate matter sensor to monitor for a range of substances that can be present in the air surrounding the car. It detects gasses and pollen so that the advanced cabin filter can clean the air as thoroughly as possible.

Foldable lid in the boot

Comfort upgrades

Rear floor “lid in lid” with bag holder

Put a lid on items moving around in the boot. The foldable “lid in lid” feature holds them in place, so they stay put. It also provides secure storage for portable appliances like coolers, which get their power from the 12V connection that’s fitted as standard. 

Exclusive Nappa upgrade

Add an even more premium look and feel to the interior. The Nappa upgrade is  exclusively available in combination with the Plus pack and includes perforated animal welfare traced Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and Light ash deco.

Pilot pack

Preventative, adaptive, aware. The Pilot pack further enhances Polestar 2’s driver assistance and safety features with Adaptive Cruise Control, Pilot Assist, intelligent Pixel LED headlights and more. 

Safety upgrades

Adaptive Cruise Control

Ease up on the accelerator and let Polestar 2 match the pace of traffic. Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts the speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and brings the car to a full stop if necessary. Touching the accelerator or brake pedal is enough to give control back to the driver. 

Safety upgrades

Pilot Assist

Pilot Assist supports the driver in keeping Polestar 2 centred in the driving lane. Using the camera and radar units, the system monitors the car’s position, making light steering adjustments if it moves too close to the lane markings. 

Warning systems

Rear Collision Warning and Mitigation

Rear Collision Warning and Mitigation checks for vehicles behind Polestar 2 and calculates the risk of collision. If a car comes too close, it rapidly flashes all the indicators. If it senses that an accident is imminent, the system pre-tensions the safety belts and applies the brakes. 

Lighting upgrades

Pixel LED headlights with adaptive high beam

Leave the headlights on high beam. The safety-enhancing Pixel LED technology adapts to light conditions and oncoming traffic to provide an optimal view without blinding other drivers.

Lighting upgrades

LED front fog lights with cornering function

The LED front fog lights don’t just improve visibility in murky weather. At speeds below 19 miles per hour, the left or right lamp switches on when cornering, making it easier to judge bends and intersections.
