2024 Polestar 2 gets slight price bump, but more range and new features included

EV maker Polestar revealed Tuesday that the 2024 Polestar 2 will start at $51,300 (including destination fee). Although the price is slightly higher than last year’s model, the 2024 version includes more range and new features.

Since its debut in 2020, the Polestar 2 has continued expanding into new markets and territories, propelling car sales to grow by over 500%.

Polestar’s first electric car has been a breakout hit with its Swedish minimalist design, high performance, and fun-to-drive ride that’s loaded with tech and safety features.

Over the years, the Polestar 2 has continued to evolve with OTA updates and new features to improve the driving experience.

Polestar released its new 2024 model earlier this year with several exciting new upgrades, including bigger batteries, more powerful motors, RWD options, and Polestar SmartZone. The SmartZone feature replaces the front grille with a camera and heated radar to act as a third eye for the driver.
