2024 Polestar 2 Dual Motor | Review & Road Test

[@ThePrinceEffect]

I think there's a big misunderstanding on the whole volvo pulling out thing. Geely owns volvo, Geely also owns Polestar. I think what was done is that they restructure ownership (basically removing volvo as the middle man) to make Volvo balance sheet not be dragged down by the cost of developing a new car. It's still owned by the same people either way.

[@Dakarai_Knight]

A little side note about the state of Polestar. Volvo pulling out was just Geely moving money around. Both brands are owned by Geely. Volvo will still collaborate with Polestar in many areas. Polestar also just last week secured 1 billion dollars in funding on their own from third parties as well as had a 10.3% increase in their stock price. They're doing fine.

[@jonathanthomas7228]

@@Freerider93 Yeah, a 40% drop in sales when the only vehicle available in NA is a car that's been on the market for 3 years now. I'd say that's expected, and it's also why there are two new models dropping this year.

There is a home button for the infotainment system at the bottom of the screen. Please don't misinform people.

[@lynwoodward9156]

Screen grab of where. Was in that car for four days and only found the app page. Would love the info.

[@legerdemain]

​@lynwoodward9156 4:34 the white horizontal line at the very bottom of the panel, below the Google Play Store icon. It's a capacitive touch button. If you weren't vibing with it, that home button is unlikely to have changed your review.

[@lynwoodward9156]

Definitely messed around with that part of the screen and I don’t recall it taking me back to a “Home Screen” or even back to the previous one. The closest I eventually got to simple was the four buttons that takes you to the app page then I could get back to CarPlay. But that was always at least two steps. Perhaps if it’s set up differently? My point was that it didn’t feel intuitive or simple. If there was a short cut bar up at the top (it looks like there is but it never worked when I pressed those small icons) that would help. When I test systems I have a routine. If it takes me more than 15 minutes to initially figure out the flow to me that’s a problem. Perhaps to someone else it works well. Our brains all operate differently. As always this was my opinion. And in my video I definitely said I am routing for them. I think it’s a beautiful car and a fun drivers car. But for several reasons I think they’ve got an uphill climb. Appreciate the constructive discourse. I’m always open to being a better car reviewer. My intention is to help people make complex and expensive decisions. So thanks for chatting.

[@legerdemain]

@lynwoodward9156 for sure. Even if you had a bad home button, I don't think you missed anything from that that'd change your review. I definitely look forward to your stuff, and I like seeing negative-for-cause takes on big buying decisions. Thanks!

[@MKDonline]

Yep. She's just not seeing the button. It is there as you describe. Also, when she's complaining about changing the temperature she also doesn't see the +- buttons to the left and right of the temperature setting. No need to go to the detailed view.

[@EdwardBartel]

This qualifies for a review that should #RTFM. The suspension is stiff? Did you know that car has an adjustable suspension? Did you check to see if the prior reviewer might have adjusted it to a stiffer seeing? The car display doesn't have a "home" button? Did you try tapping that white sliver strip so prominent on the bottom of the display? The menu system is complicated? Have you tried the "Hey Google..." command to quickly and easily change settings (like climate control)? Only one model offered? Then 2 minutes later you use Polestar stock footage that includes the Polestar 3 and comment on the beauty of Polestar.

I have the exact same car that you reviewed, The Polestar 2 dual motor with Performance pack even the same color and you are kinda misinforming about some things, I didn’t have any issue understanding the infotainment system when I just got it, there is a home button that allows you to go back to the main screen as easy as just a touch, also the AC can always be in auto, you don’t need to mess up with it often, also even when I am an Apple user and I love Apple CarPlay you don’t really need it in this car, you have google maps, Spotify and google assistant that works even better than Siri, also the suspension is adaptive, if you want a more soft and confort ride just set it up that way, I’ll be agree with the center console situation, it definitely could be better but this is a car for single people that don’t need much room and interior utility, even though it has a good versatility and cargo utility because the lift back design, if you want a family car they have the Polestar 3 upcoming, I think this is one of the best car in its category, but a lot of miss information keeps holding people from buying it, I love mine, it drives amazing, it’s really good looking and catch the eyes of everyone.

[@little_britain]

The home button is right at the bottom of the screen, super easy to use, there is even a light.

[@MKDonline]

Regarding the OS - I'm a self-defined Apple fanboy. I think Apple CarPlay is the best thing that's happened to car tech - ever. My wife recently leased the Volvo C40, which is the same car platform as Polestar 2 and uses the same Android OS (albeit with a different UI layout). It does have CarPlay so I was like, "OK, this will work out." Guess what, you don't need CarPlay. The Android OS works very well. I've had zero complaints with it. It's just as easy and intuitive as Apple CarPlay and just as integrated (even more so when it comes to navigation and charging). Just my 2 cents. I see no issues with the Android system.

[@gregp.7148]

Love the Polestar/Volvo design. But the centre console is such a waste of legroom. It feels very cramped for a taller person. Put a gearshift stalk on the steering column. And that single cupholder is in the worst spot ever. Do what the Ioniq 5, Model 3 or Model Y does. So much nicer to have so much space in those. If Tesla can create so much passenger and cargo space in their similarly sized Model Y then WHY can’t anyone else?! What’s so difficult about it!

[@legerdemain]

Agree. I rented one, and the kneeroom bugged me until I got the seat dialed in, but the shifter location is using a ton of space that could have been used to make better cupholders and cubbies. Do that, then move those USB-C ports into the center console. The Volvo C40 and XC40 are on the same platform and did so much better there.

[@stefanfalldorf6573]

The Polestar and the Vovos C40 and XC40 are based on an ice Plattform.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@@stefanfalldorf6573 Right. The CMA platform. If you want a bespoke platform opt for the Polestar 3 and 4. The Polestar 2 was made from the Volvo Concept 40.2. It was originally intended as a Volvo sedan version of the XC40.

[@hisownfool1]

Kudos to Lyn for addressing the company's precarious financial state.

[@legerdemain]

I've seen this take, but I don't get it. There was a restructuring. Geely owns Volvo. Polestar went from being under Volvo to being directly under Geely. This was at the same time that Polestar was shipping their first Polestar 3 cars and opening the order books for the 4, both of which are also further removed from Volvo's engineering and design.

[@PJPHughes]

Geely owns Volvo and Polestar. It was just a simple shift of debt and responsibility out from under Volvo's division. Better for Volvo shareholders but doesn't limit overall investment or design sharing. They have had one car for sale for the last 4 years, so just like Tesla did in the early days, it's tough to turn a profit quickly. With the 3 and 4 coming, it'll be in much better shape I have a '22 Polestar 2 dual motor with 20 inch wheels, and absolutely love it. Would get another Polestar without hesitation.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@@legerdemain The Polestar 3 isn't removed from Volvo engineering and design. It basically is a sister car to the Volvo EX90. It's on the SPA2 platform and uses direct consoles and materials that are in the Volvo (except Polestar has retained leather and Volvo has completely got rid of it). Volvo and Polestar are still very much connected. They share personnel. Volvo will service Polestars at select delearships. Volvo will build the Polestar 3 at the Volvo factory in South Carolina, USA. And they'll continue to share in sustainability efforts, safety software and a lot more. Polestar is not in a precarious financial situation right now. Geely is 100 percent behind them.

[@willsmith39]

As an Android user I actually found this interface the easiest ever - its just a big android phone screen effectively. I like that there's physical buttons for many other things too which I hate about Tesla, but each to his own

[@volvodashcam]

The UI is one of the best in any car available. There are a home button, and there is common among owners to ditch Apple carplay since Google Automobile is so good. The thing with Volvo and the ownership is a papper exersice. Geely owns polestar, and Volvo. Only thing changed is that Volvo now will not be affected in their finansial numbers by Polestar. Geely are big and isn't going to ditch Polestar sometime soon. Charging from 10-80% takes 28 minutes and not 40 minutes. (In the old one it takes 35-36 minutes.) Also, not a sedan. Cross ower between a hatchback and a SUV but with a smooth profile. Still it's pretty high, and have a ground clearance that is a bit higer than ordinary cars.

[@denault3985]

Polestar drivers are aggressive? Not compared to Tesla owners who don't seen to know anything about safe distances. They either cut you off at speed or suddenely jump in front of you with no gap for safety but other EVs drivers seem to careful including those in the Polestar.

My experience is the car is a little different (that is not bad), but quite brilliant.

I drive hundreds of cars and know them all pretty well. Don’t trust me? I’m not offended in the least.

For me it is one of those UIs/UX experience where you do not miss physical buttons. I have BST version and driving dynamics is crazy good.

Yes, the infotainment center takes a little time to get used to coming from an Apple world, but still very usable with a little time. I have to agree a photochromic roof would be a plus. The car gets awful hot in the sun. Range could be better, but as my daily driver, I'm charging only once a week. Overall, I say excellent choice for a first EV.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Polestar isn't going anywhere. As for the seat belts, check out a Volvo XC60 or S60 Polestar. They have the same "Swedish gold" belts. These are only in the performance versions, not the regular Polestar (or Volvo). It's not a style thing more than a performance trim thing.

What a fuss about the Apple phone. People talk about being an 'Apple phone user' as if it is some form of religion. By going with Google and therefore Google Maps for your Sat Nav, Polestar have nailed probably the most universal and bulletproof navigation software anywhere. Just learn the Android OS if you are an 'Apple Person'. Of course there are some downsides to the P2, but not many.

Personally I think Polestar made a huge marketing mistake when they launch Polestar 2 2024 version Q3 last year - They should have set MSRP at $51400 then gives "$7500 credit on-the-house" (since P*2 doesn't qualify it) to bring it to effective MSRP $43900 for RWD 320mile version. That will be positiones right in the middle split Model 3 RWD and Model 3 LR-AWD! Both of them doesn't qualify for credit...

You're 100% correct. And some don't.

Don’t buy new 🆕 I just sold my 23 PS2 and best I could do on dual long range is $35k !!!

[@MarioGuzman88]

Oooooof. You can get so much more on cars like Toyota with their limited trims. Luxury cars aren’t worth it anymore.

[@JasonSmith-bk4lm]

They need to have 6 feet of dirt removed for them for selling their PO at $10 and letting their stock go to crap. They cost a lot of investors a lot of money. I hope this company fails miserably.

Tesla looks like a joke next to the Polestar

[@Hundert1]

Yeah, but my RAM v8 Hemi gives me over 500 miles highway driving on one tank. Batteries blow up cause fires that can't be extinguished and lose power if not constantly charging. Also, the batteries lose lots of power in cold weather when we're blasting the heat, defrost, heated seats, and heated steering wheel. Battery-powered vehicles take too long to recharge, and it's difficult to find recharge stations throughout the entire North & South America. Service mechanics are also rare.

Stay away!!! Piece of crap..Im renting one now cause I couldn't get a Tesla and the software is horrible. You actually have to dig deep into the software to turn the car off when you park..Hard to find CCS chargers that actually work and the car has no balls.. Never drove a slow EV before but this one is a dog! Also if you download the app so you can use your phone as a key you have to manually tap the lock icon on the screen, it won't unlock car on approach or lock it when you walk away too and if you close the app in order to open it again you have to sign in and they send you a new code to your email so you can use app again..Very Frustration and doesn't have smart cruise either.

Tesla is the best car company ever no gas stations no oil changes no smog check no corrupt dealerships no catalytic converter no dealer mark up above MSRP

[@agustincanales]

There is no engine noise gas car are the best

Great video 😊 no stars for Polestar. 60k vehicle with bad infotainment, nothing to cover the sunroof, frunk and boot space too small

[@BrandonRyan]

"Bad infotainment?" It's the best there is.

Total garbage! Had it for 4 days thru Thrifty… what a terrible car… i was shocked! Way far from Tesla…

Lyn, hate to be a jerk, but you mispronounced respite. 🤐 Also, if Volvo owns Polestar, how can they pull their financing?

[@kbb]

We hate that you were a jerk, too! (Sorry, you teed it up for us). Volvo doesn't own Polestar. They had a 46% stake in the company and now it's 0%. Polestar is owned by a Chinese holding company.

Then don’t be.

​​@@kbbthat company is Geely and they own Volvo as well. Polestar just went from Volvo to their mothers company.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@@kbb They had a 49.5 percent and now they own 18.8 percent. There is no difference in Polestar's relationship with Volvo outside of financial backing. Geely owns about 78 percent share of Volvo Cars, they don't own 100 percent of Volvo.

I loved how the first generation Polstar looked. But THIS? This is yet another Chinese copy of a copy.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

This is totally designed in Sweden and the top designer is Austrian. People need to get off of their anti-China biases and at least do some research before commenting.

Sorry I bought a Tesla because it's future proof. Unbelievable how I said that it's future proof. Thanks.

SOOO GLAD VOLVO PULLED OUT. My god, The UX. Said ti drive thru a read light,. I sent this to Polestar, they blamed me for not paying atttention, I said no: you either fx this, or i go public.

Just get a Tesla

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Not everyone wants a Tesla. I don't. Nothing against Tesla ownersor cars but I am against annoying people promoting Teslas that think everyone should have one. Tesla's are great in some areas, but in other areas, other vehicles are better (refinement, handling, build quality, etc.). Depends on what your priorities are.

[@kevinn1158]

Polestar is a Chinese company. As is Volvo now.

Volvo is a swedish company owned by a chinese. Frightliner or Western Star are american companies owned by a german.

[@kevinn1158]

@@stefanfalldorf6573 yah Chinese. Most of the money goes to China. I suppose the consolidation is that the software isn’t Chinese so the CCP isn’t able to spy on you.

@@stefanfalldorf6573 Correct. Also, Polestar is just as Swedish as Volvo is. It is an offshoot of Volvo. People saying either are Chinese are spreading misinformation and are woefully uninformed.
