Used Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 is made for drivers looking for a premium alternative to traditional brands. As Volvo’s electric-focused sister brand, it blends Scandinavian design with Volvo’s safety expertise. Launched in 2020, the Polestar 2 received a significant refresh in 2023, improving styling and extending its range. Thanks to its understated looks, high-quality interior, and real-world usability, it stands out among EV rivals like the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4. It offers rapid acceleration in dual-motor models, a minimalist and high-tech cabin, a comprehensive safety package and a practical hatchback boot. While its ride can be firm on UK roads and rear headroom is a bit tight, the overall package is well-rounded for many drivers.
