The Polestar 2 Single Motor Long Range: Much Improved - With Room To Grow

A few years ago we got the chance to test out the Polestar 2 for the first time - and we had some opinions: 2022 Polestar 2 Review

But since then, Polestar has re-engineered the drivetrain and battery pack of its single-motor Polestar 2 - and made it a rear-wheel drive rather than front-wheel drive variant.

And that, we think, has transformed the Polestar 2 in a very positive direction indeed.
