Seeing the 2024 Polestar 2 hit me with a modern twist to nostalgia. Although the side profile reminds me of an Audi Coupe, it still has a lot of Volvo language to make up a beautiful looking fastback. The Snow color had a metallic finish which brought the white to life. With the 2 being a full EV, you’ll see some of the typical EV designs for the sake of efficiency. The front grille is very minimal, the wheels are flat designed, and the mirrors were a tad small for my liking. I did like the label of the front radar as well as the powertrain label on the door.

Getting in the Polestar 2, you’re greeted with a minimalist design. The design did have a lot to offer though. The 2’s door had incredible fit and finish with premium feeling materials. Sitting in the 2 was an experience that was difficult to explain. I’ve never felt such a perfect seat in any vehicle. I didn’t have any pressure points as the seat felt like it was molded to my spine and I felt a sense of weightlessness. Unfortunately I was unimpressed with the fact that the Polestar 2 does not offer wireless Apple CarPlay. Even though this is a 4-door car, the rear space is on the tight side.

Driving the Polestar 2 was not your typical EV torque monster. This was the single motor configuration, so the dual motor may provide you with that typical EV experience. This will sound out of character for me, but I preferred to have less power. It made drivability a lot more enjoyable without worrying of overpowering my driving skills. The Polestar 2’s chassis was extremely rewarding and sporty, so be aware that if you’re looking for a comfortable ride, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

If you’re looking for a compact and sporty EV, you’ll want to consider the 2024 Polestar 2 at the top of your list.
