Performance
Chassis
A car with good handling responds predictably, regardless of the road surface or driving conditions. The Polestar 2 chassis integrates the battery and pairs high torsional stiffness with a low centre of gravity to ensure a responsive, assertive drive.
Powertrains
The optimal power and torque for every driving situation. Polestar 2 is available with four electric powertrain options, making it easy to adapt its performance to the driver’s personal preferences and driving environment.

All- or rear-wheel drive
Polestar 2 comes with an all-wheel drive or a rear-wheel drive powertrain, both optimised for performance and driver engagement. The newly-developed asynchronous front motor, permanent magnet rear motor, and silicon carbide inverter increase efficiency and torque, while the all-wheel drive system can disengage the front axle to further reduce energy consumption.
Suspension
Both the standard and the upgraded suspension are tuned to deliver a dynamic drive without compromising comfort or safety. This setup enables an optimal connection to the road regardless of conditions.
Öhlins Dual Flow Valve dampers
Sharing the same uncompromising approach to engineering, Polestar and suspension experts Öhlins have jointly developed the DFV dampers for Polestar 2. They can easily be configured to suit various driving environments while providing unparalleled grip, responsiveness, and balance.
Available as an upgrade.
Twin-tube frequency-dependent dampers
Raising the standard of standard suspension, these dampers enhance handling and comfort by limiting body roll and improving car control. Combined with the compact and lightweight suspension struts and links, they add to the mechanical grip and road-holding of Polestar 2.
Driving characteristics
Adjustable steering feedback
Polestar 2’s progressive power steering adapts to the car’s speed, providing less feedback when moving slowly and more feedback when travelling faster. Drivers can also adjust the steering feel to their personal preference, choosing the “light” setting for navigating city streets, “standard” for motorways, and “firm” for active driving on twisty roads.
Driving characteristics
One pedal drive
Drive, brake, and regenerate, all with one pedal drive. Releasing the accelerator reverses the torque direction of the electric motors, which slows the car down and produces charge that extends Polestar 2’s range.
Driving characteristics
Sport mode
Activating Sport mode eases the assistance provided by the vehicle’s Electronic Stability Control system, giving the driver greater influence on the car’s handling. This mode also improves the car’s traction when driving on surfaces such as ice, snow, or gravel.
20" Performance wheels
Using a manufacturing technique developed for motorsport, forged alloy wheels are shaped by pressing rather than casting, making them lighter and stronger than conventional wheels. Together with the Sport contact 6 tyres, these wheels provide optimal handling and road contact.
Available as an upgrade.
Brembo brakes
Building on decades of motorsport experience, Brembo brakes are engineered to the highest performance and safety standards. The ventilated, drilled discs and four-piston aluminium callipers offer a quick response at any temperature while reducing weight, wear, noise, and dust build-up.
Available as an upgrade.
