I don't like the looks of the Polestar 2 at all. Hard pass. Wish them luck though. Competition is good.

Funny how looks can be so subjective! The Polestar 2 looks gorgeous to me and if it weren't for the fact that there's a $10,000 Chinese tariff that brings the price up to $59,000, it'd be pretty good as a Model 3 alternative and possibly even the MME.

For a car that is supposed to start delivering in September, there is remarkably little information about car specifications available at the Polestar web site. Or am I missing something?

Same feeling about the Volvo XC40 Recharge (using the same platform). Volvo made the configurator available in Europe some time back so I am guessing very few will make it stateside.

Even though it has a hatch in the back, it more resembles a luxury sedan to me than a crossover. That's just not what I'm looking for.

I really don't like how so many vehicles (particularly BEVs) that pretend to be SUVs/crossovers are morphing into hatchbacks that are barely a step removed from sedans. That's what still makes the XC40 Recharge appealing to me - it's a truer small SUV body style.

I like a vertical tailgate, not a horizontal one.

I might be interested if it were not a sedan. The infotainment system looks very good, starting at 13:08.

I believe that it is a very bright move from Polestar (Volvo) to get Google on their car!!!!

Although in this case, it's pretty darn close to a trunk lid (with a skylight in it).

Nice looking sedan, with a hatchback. Nothing really wrong with it. However, it is priced as a luxury vehicle (entry level), but does not really offer anything new, except for the Google system, which isn't attractive for the Apple users (fine for me). Being rated at 275 miles to EPA...I don't believe it. With the 78kwh pack and 300 kgs heavier than the Model 3, no way! I think it will be about the same as the Mach E Standard pack, and hence grossly overpriced.

Volvo announced the Polestar 2 US price will start at $59,900 before any tax credits, etc.

An interesting number.

It has that price because the cutoff for the $2,000 rebate from California is $60,000 msrp.

Not in my opinion. I would not want Google or Android being the overall operating system in ANY car I would consider. Much prefer the operating system being something else (like Sync) with the ability for Android auto or Apple CarPlay. The privacy concerns with Google and Android are just too many to ignore.

I've been seeing a lot of articles about the polestar 2 and it does look nice. The almost total lack of access for most of the country eliminates it as an option for me.

New review of the Polestar 2. Robert Llewellyn loves it. He struggled to not say it was better than the Tesla Model 2 but came really close. If it weren't for the Supercharger network, he would have definitely said it was the best.

Yet he still described the ride as 'firm'. Almost every reviewer has said the same thing. It makes me wonder if the ride is actually 'hard'.
