  • Dual electric motors producing 408 horsepower and 487 lb-ft of torque
  • 78-kWh battery

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • 11-inch touchscreen

It also comes with the Pilot package, a comprehensive suite of advanced safety aids that includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Polestar 2 and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Polestar 2 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while you're in reverse) with automatic braking
  • Fully automatic (driverless) parking
  • Road sign recognition
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Polestar 2 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

But wait, there's more! The optional Performance package adds:

  • Sport-tuned suspension with Öhlins performance dampers
  • Brembo front brakes
  • 20-inch forged alloy wheels with summer tires
  • High-gloss black roof panel

Stand-alone options include:

Which 2021 2 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Polestar 2 is currently only offered in the Launch Edition trim, which comes very well equipped with Polestar's Pilot package, a comprehensive suite of advanced driving aids, and the Plus package, a bundle of luxury amenities including a panoramic glass roof, LED lights, heated power seats and a premium sound system. If you don't want to pay for all of that, you'll likely be waiting a while for the entry-level models.
