Video Summary
-The car being reviewed is the new Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor. - It costs £48,000. - It is now rear-wheel drive, a change from front-wheel drive, which has increased power from 231 to 299 hp and torque from 330 to 490. - 0-62 now takes 6.2 seconds, over a second faster than before. - The range has been improved to 406 miles. - The exterior features an updated design. The front grill isn’t actually a grill anymore, but a “smart zone” which houses safety cameras and radar. - The suspension looks like a jacked-up saloon, with raised height that provides a comfortable ride. The reviewer cautions against getting the 20-inch wheels, saying the car will ride poorly. - The interior is good, but all controls are managed by the central screen, and the reviewer experiences some unresponsiveness. - The reviewer finds the cup holders awkward. - Rear legroom is fair but taller passengers will have issues with headroom, with upright seat positioning. Two USB ports and heated seat controls are available in the rear. - There is a shallow "frunk" for the charging cable. - Range and charging speed is improved. - Better in-car range reporting is now standard. - The reviewer finds the Indicator sound “cool.” - The stereo sound quality is good. - Google Assistant can answer complicated questions. - The car is easy to access with a wave of your foot underneath the bumper. - The all-wheel drive version has been increased to 421 hp, where the performance version has 476 hp. - The driver’s seat is comfortable and high to give a great view out the front of the car. The frame less mirrors provide a good view with a clear rear camera. - Heated steering wheel, is very hot and a welcome add, for drivers with poor circulation. - Overall, it’s an attractive car but “it’s got good and bad points.” - In the end, the reviewer would rather buy a BMW i4.
