Polestar has started deliveries of the upgraded Polestar 2, supporting the company’s continued growth.

Polestar 2 was the brand’s first volume car, which went into production in 2020. Within three years, over 150,000 cars have now been manufactured.

In the UK, where over 20,000 Polestar 2 cars are now on the road, Polestar has been the fastest growing car brand in the first seven months of 2023, with new vehicle registrations growing by 174% compared to the same period the previous year.

Earlier this year, the 100,000th Polestar 2 to be produced was handed over to an Irish customer in Dublin.

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO, comments: “The upgraded Polestar 2 is the best version to date. With improved software, better quality, longer range and faster charging, it is the basis from which we continue to grow our business.”

The Polestar 2 Long range Single motor is now certified for up to 654 km WLTP, and maximum DC charging speed is now up to 205kW for versions with the new 82kWh battery.
