The Polestar 2's interior is largely centred around the vertically oriented 11.2-inch touchscreen multimedia system. There's also a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

Beyond this there's intentional minimalist design on the centre console which creates a cockpit feel for the front passengers.

The Polestar 2 Standard range Single motor has a 70kWh lithium-ion battery pack which allows for a WLTP-claimed range of 554km.

The Long range versions have a larger 82kWh lithium-ion battery allowing for WLTP-claimed range between 568km and 659km, depending on the variant.

As standard there are LED headlights, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 11.2-inch touchscreen multimedia system, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, dual-zone climate control and heated front seats with electric adjustment.

Additionally there are a tonne of single optional extras and packages.

The Polestar 2 Standard range Single motor can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.4 seconds.

The Long range Single motor can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.2 seconds.

The Long range Dual motor can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 4.5 seconds. Adding the 'Performance package' reduces this to 4.2 seconds.

Top speed for the entire line-up is electronically limited to 205km/h.

The Polestar 2 has a five-seat layout. Fabric seats are standard, though depending on the option pack you can get synthetic leather or Nappa leather upholstery.

The front seats are heated as standard and if you get the optional Nappa leather seats they gain ventilation. Also if you get the 'Climate pack' the outboard rear seats become heated.

Single motor versions of the Polestar 2 have a rear-mounted electric motor which produces either 200kW or 220kW, depending on the battery pack.

Dual-motor versions add an electric motor to the front axle bringing total system outputs to 310kW and 740Nm. Adding the 'Performance pack' increases the power output to 350kW.
