The 2021 Polestar 2 range has been expanded with the addition of two new single-motor variants, trading performance for a lower starting price.
Sitting below the existing all-wheel-drive 78kWh Polestar 2 introduced at launch, the two new Polestar models lose the range-topper's rear motor to become front-wheel-drive, and are paired to a choice of 'Standard Range' 64kWh or 'Long Range' 78kWh batteries.
Opting for the smaller pack allows the front-mounted electric motor to develop 165kW and 330Nm, enabling a "preliminary" driving range of 420 to 440 kilometres on Europe's WLTP cycle, a 7.4-second 0-100km/h sprint time, and a 160km/h top speed.
