On March 9th, the updated Polestar 2 officially landed in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Besides the exterior, the overall hardware has been upgraded significantly!
Let’s take a quick look at the exterior. The updated Polestar 2 has adopted the same SmartZone design style as subsequent models. The front grille has been fitted with a forward vision camera and a millimeter wave radar, making the exterior more electrically-driven in style while possessing stronger driving assistance capabilities.
In addition, the updated Polestar 2 offers six styles of wheel hub to choose from, including the low-resistance wheel hub style from Europe.
Next, the driving mode has been changed, with the previous single motor version shifting from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive, with power upgraded to 220 kW and equipped with a SiC inverter; the power of the four-wheel drive version has been upgraded from the previous 300 kW to 310 kW, with the increase being very obvious.

According to previous reports, the long-endurance version of the updated Polestar 2 will carry an 82 kWh battery, and its WLTP endurance can reach up to 635 km, which is 100+ km longer than the previous version. If converted into CLTC endurance, the result would look even better. This improvement greatly enhances the product strength of the Polestar 2.
In addition, the maximum charging power can reach 205 kW, while the larger battery means that the speed of energy replenishment is even faster than before.
