This feels more like an all-new model rather than a facelift.
The Polestar 2 has seen so much change for this Model Year 2024 update, with a significant shift to rear-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive (and as we all know, in the battle of RWD vs FWD, the winner is ALWAYS RWD).
There’s still dual-motor all-wheel drive as well, and there are a bunch of new standard items fitted including some safety spec, which is great to see.
It still has a few carryover quirks and issues, but this finally feels like a real rival to the likes of the Tesla Model 3, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 6 (and Ioniq 5) and plenty more. And most importantly? It lives up to what Polestar was supposed to be from the start – fun. And fast.
James Pumphrey said it — mo powa baby! And this thing delivers.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you’re looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you’ve just bought your new car and you’re looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
