Mentioning Polestar, this very low-key brand has been on a low-key road from its establishment in 2017 to small-scale delivery, including its brand awareness. But Polestar is a brand that competes with Tesla, and its performance in the market, not only the sound, but also the sales volume is quite "low-key".

Polestar, as a new energy brand jointly established by Volvo and Geely, can be said to be a brand "born with a silver spoon in its mouth". It has considerable advantages in terms of products, research and development, technology and performance.

With the launch of Polestar’s first product, the price exceeded one million, making the brand instantly famous. Then, the first release version of Polestar 2, Polestar’s first mass-produced pure electric model, also arrived. Compared with the price of Polestar 1, which is over one million yuan, this car is priced at 418,000 yuan, which is indeed relatively close to the people. But what is this car like?

Polestar 2 is positioned as a compact car. The exterior design can be said to highly restore the design elements of Volvo concept40.2. The appearance is simple but full of power.

Although it is a pure electric model, Polestar 2 does not adopt a closed front face design. It also retains the traditional air intake grille design. The air intake grille adopts a lattice design and adds The design of Volvo's iconic "Thor's Hammer" daytime running lights not only makes the car's appearance highly recognizable, but also full of a sense of technology, making it look like a car from the future.

Polestar 2 adopts a minimalist design style, and the rearview mirror adopts a frameless design, which not only has low wind resistance, but also reduces the volume by 30% with the same mirror area. And the corner elements commonly used in minimalism are also applied, making the visual look and feel more crisp and clear.

The side of the body adopts tough lines and the fastback design creates a good sporty atmosphere. The rear of the Polestar 2 is also very special. The long through-type taillight is quite eye-catching. The entire taillight is composed of 288 LED light groups. It can not only achieve different lighting effects through programming, but also can Automatically adjusts the brightness according to the current ambient light, just like a mobile phone screen.

In terms of interior design, although Polestar 2 cannot be called very luxurious, the environmentally friendly materials used are not as soft as Nappa leather, but they are not cheap to the touch, and the texture is quite distinctive, which is different from the solid wood trim. The combination of boards brings a nice texture.

The interior of the car has simple lines and clear layers, a three-spoke steering wheel, a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel with a very refreshing UI interface, and an 11-inch floating central control screen equipped with a native Android car system. Compatible with Apple's CarPlay, the car is equipped with 13 Harman Kardon speakers, making driving more relaxed and enjoyable.

In terms of power, Polestar 2’s performance is also quite outstanding. It is equipped with a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive system, with a power performance of 408 horsepower and 660 Nm. It only takes 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers. It has a range of 500 kilometers under WLTP conditions, and its performance is not inferior to the Tesla Model 3.

Written at the end:

In fact, compared to Polestar 1, Polestar 2 does not have that superior feeling, and its performance and appearance are endorsed by Volvo and Geely. It is not inferior to the Tesla Model 3 at all, and it has the pedigree of racing performance. Even the model without kits is more than enough to travel in the city, and you can fully experience the ultimate experience brought by high-performance models.

Although the current domestic pre-sale price is 418,000 yuan, it is indeed much more affordable than Polestar 1. However, is this price really affordable for most people? Let’s wait and see whether the market performance of Polestar 2 is as interesting as its performance.
