The Polestar 2 is about as Swedish as anything you can buy without a Volvo badge. That’s mostly because, despite it being nailed together in China by Geely, it’s a spinoff from… Volvo.
Polestar then is the Volvo of the future, making stylish Swedish cars, but making them emissions free, and with a commitment to make even the building of them carbon neutral by 2030. Even the interior is vegan…
When we drove the Polestar 2 (the second car from Polestar after the £136,000 hybrid Polestar 1) there was only a single version available, costing around £50k and being loaded with tech – there has now been an announcement of a new version for less money – and it begged the question as to whether this is the first fully gimmick-free EV for the masses?
