Polestar 2 Specs, Electric Power & Dimensions (from 2020) — First Generation
The Polestar 2 First Generation is a fastback electric vehicle blending Scandinavian design with pure-electric performance. Offered with front- or all-wheel drive and varying power outputs, it provides a compelling entry into premium electric mobility.
Polestar 2 horsepower ranges from 165 kW front-wheel drive to a 300 kW all-wheel drive setup, catering to different needs. The 170 kW Standart range offers a balanced single-motor option. All versions use an automatic transmission and are purely electric, providing instant response and smooth acceleration.
Fastback — Polestar 2 Electric Power and Drivetrain
Polestar 2 trim levels are closely tied to powertrain choices. The 300 kW all-wheel drive configuration is associated with the Dual motor equipment level, adding performance-oriented features. This structure simplifies selection, as trims directly reflect the drive system and expected driving character rather than a long list of standalone options.
Polestar 2 battery capacity varies by version, with the 170 kW Long range using a lithium-ion pack optimized for extended driving. Real-world range depends on driving style, temperature, and wheel size, but all variants support fast charging, making daily commuting and longer trips practical without frequent stops.
