Introducing the Enhanced 2024 Polestar 2, Packed with Power and Value
Polestar has revealed the pricing details for the highly upgraded 2024 Polestar 2, and it’s clear that you’ll be getting exceptional value for your money. The starting price for the electric sedan has increased slightly to $49,900, but it now offers a rear-wheel drive long-range single motor variant that is undeniably the more enticing model. This version boasts a brand-new 299HP motor, a significant increase of 68HP compared to its predecessor. It also delivers an estimated combined EPA range of 320 miles and faster 205kW charging. Accelerating from 0 to 60MPH takes just 5.9 seconds. These improvements make it a considerably more thrilling option compared to the previous front-wheel drive variants.
For those seeking all-wheel drive, the long dual motor Polestar 2 starts at $55,300. With the rear motor upgrade, this version reaches an impressive 421HP and offers a longer range of 276 miles. It can achieve a 0-60MPH dash in just 4.3 seconds. Although the charging capacity is slightly reduced to 155kW, the package includes the Pilot Pack, which was previously priced at $3,400. This comprehensive bundle incorporates a range of driver assistance features, such as adaptive cruise control and emergency stop assist.
All trim levels now include driver aids for blind spots, cross traffic, and parking, along with 360-degree cameras and auto-dimming side mirrors. The Plus Pack, priced at $2,200 (a $2,000 reduction), comprises cold weather upgrades like a range-friendly heat pump, as well as Harman Kardon audio and an air quality system. As for the Performance Pack, its price is yet to be determined, but it offers low-drag Brembo brakes, new alloy wheels, Öhlins adjustable dampers, and a powerful 455HP engine that propels the car from 0 to 60MPH in just 4.1 seconds.
The deliveries are set to commence in August, and it’s worth noting that the new Polestar 2 is eligible for a $7,500 federal credit on leases. Canadian buyers have an even more enticing offer, as the single motor edition starts at $54,950 CAD ($41,317 US) and qualifies for a $5,000 CAD federal credit.

These impressive upgrades come as no surprise, as Polestar now faces stronger competition compared to when the 2 was initially introduced, particularly from the lower-priced Tesla Model 3 (which currently starts at $40,240). Although the enhanced Polestar 2 may have a higher price tag than its direct rival, it offers a longer claimed range and a more extensive array of safety features. Moreover, its performance is comparable, making it an appealing choice for discerning buyers.
