Used Polestar cars for sale

Yes, Polestar now only makes fully electric cars. The Polestar 2 comes with a 78kWh battery pack that enables a 300-mile range, and there’s 150kW fast-charging capability if you get caught short on a long journey. Power stands at 408hp in dual-motor cars, giving the Polestar 2 the instant hit of off-the-line performance that electric cars are known for.

Pilot Lite is an active safety pack available on the Polestar 2. Among the additions are a 360-degree camera, cross-traffic alert, highway driving assistance, additional parking help, cornering fog lights and automatically dimming mirrors.

This pack focuses on comfort features rather than driver aids. There’s a Harman Kardon sound system, a panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, air quality monitoring and a heat pump, which will make the Polestar 2 more efficient in colder weather.

As with many electric cars, the Polestar 2 comes in Standard Range and Long Range versions. The Standard Range model has one front-mounted electric motor and a 297-mile range, while the single-motor Long Range version increases that to 341 miles. The dual-motor Long Range version, with a motor on each axle and much more power, offers 301 miles.

Electric cars have far fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars so, in theory, there’s a lot less to go wrong. Of course, complex infotainment electronics can bring in glitches – that can happen in any modern car – but Polestar’s over-the-air software updates should minimise any bugs. Reliability data on Polestar is hard to come by but a lot of parts are shared with Volvos, which typically perform well in reliability and owner happiness surveys.
