Article content Polestar 2: The pocket rocket The Polestar 2 offers a small, agile and very spirited drive that’s calibrated to resonate strongly with enthusiast drivers. The small stature and low, sporty driving position combine with 408 horsepower and some optional performance upgrades on my tester (tires, brakes, etc), for a high-performance drive that’s sharp, eager, and fun. Though the blocky looks don’t give it away, the feel is very ‘sports coupe’ from behind the wheel. The Polestar 2 is tuned for a highly responsive drive, with high torque output and miles of cornering grip delivered via just small inputs to the throttle and steering wheel. Think electric go-kart, and you’re in the right ballpark. Driving the Polestar 2 spiritedly will recall the feel you love about your favourite combustion-powered AWD sports car, minus the noise.
