The 2021 Polestar 2- An Electric Car With Star Power
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 мар 2021
- The 2021 Polestar 2 is the first fully electric car from the young brand. A product of Volvo and Geely, it’s a powerful all-wheel hatchback with a loads of Swedish style. And it’s the first car with Android Automotive OS which will change the way you think about interacting with your car. Tom Voelk checks out the range to find out if it’s a true 233 miles. And yeah, there’s a little bit of comparison with Tesla Model 3, but the focus here is on the Polestar.

Been a Polestar2 owner for 2 months now and love it. Very well built no gaps no rattles and good paint work. Learning to master range anxiety 🥸 Thanks for the review.
Can you let everyone know what your buying experience was like?
Also can you give us a real experience with range and a road trip? I'm in Montreal and the competition is the Tesla Y Long Range for us, family of four.
@@acchaladka I cannot give you anything more than my experience in the video. I had just 3 days with the car and had to glean my range estimate with just a few days of experience. Pretty sure my 210 miles of range with temps in the mid 40s F (around 7C) and 40% highway driving is accurate. Using a 150kW charging station it's 40 minutes on average for an 80% fill. Not rocket fast but doable. Those are becoming more common in the US, not sure about about Quebec. How about Mach-E?
@@DrivenCarReviews oh right, i didn't mean to diss your experience, that's useful information, I'd only like more from the OP here. I understand the 2 will give me about 15% less range than the Tesla 3 LR in most conditions... About the Mach-E, i have cousins who were treated poorly as Ford employees in Michigan and also dislike the styling. Edit: no ski pass through is a deal breaker for us with two kids in the back seats.
@@DrivenCarReviews Reply to those interested in my buying experience. A bit of background, I’m retired from a 40 plus year career starting as an auto tech then progressing to owning my own shop. I believe that electric is the future and hopefully we get there sooner than later. I have owned a Volvo V90CC T5 Inscription for 3 plus years and have loved the car. Very good fit and finish, great driving summer/winter and surprising good gas mileage 27 MPG for the 50K of ownership. We live in the Finger Lakes region of NY so we get some serious snow it was a great car for that. But I wanted electric as I think it is the future so when the Polestar2 was announced I put down the deposit over a year ago. I ordered the basic with Magnesium paint additional. Was expecting a September delivery but that did not happen and ended up with December delivery. I bought the car from Manhattan Motor Cars out of NYC which is some 275 miles from us. All communication was by text, email or phone. I never test drove the car, so it was sight unseen. It took a quite a bit of time to work thru all the sales details as this was the first batch of cars that Manhattan had dealt with, to be expected. They were learning with me and delays in clearing the port didn’t help. Because of my distance I had to pay for the vehicle to be transported which happened during a blizzard, so I got delivery with 8 inches of new snow, great timing. Car arrive in perfect shape couldn’t find anything wrong and the dealership did their job prepping it. Have had the vehicle for about 2 ½ months and done mostly local driving so have never gotten below 20% battery and generally charge only to 90% (210 miles) as they recommend. I did take a trip to Syracuse and back about 180 miles on a cold snowy day and did stop for a 20-minute top off charge at an Electrify America station (worked great). I think in our winter climate 180-mile range is probably about the limit. Warmer weather and more experience driving I would expect to get close to fully charged range of 230. I charge at home (very easy) and have not wanted to push to range boundaries as I’m still adjusting to no gas stations and lack of fast charging. Yes, range anxiety is real, but I am trying to change a 45-year addiction to gasoline but there is a satisfaction driving PAST gas stations. We have a fair number of public chargers that can be found but they can take an hour to add only 15 miles or so. The only fast charges are the Electrify American and they are located along Rt 90 for upstate NY. This summer plan on some long trips and will do so allocating time for fast charging. To date the car is flawless and fast making me think differently about the automobile.
This channel is so underrated for real world, smart reviews. Keep it up!
I'm loving my Polestar 2 which I've owned for about 5 months; I'm probably the only person in Utah that has one and having a home charger makes all the difference. I rarely break 90% of daily battery use unless I'm headed up into the mountains but still haven't had a need to use a charging station other than the one in my home.
I test drove this car 2 days ago (September 17th, 2021). This car's construction is as solid as I've ever felt in a Volvo product. I don't care where it was made, it is a superbly solid car with excellent fit and finish. It being built in a China factory did not compromise its quality.
I found the seats to be quite firm for a Volvo. I'm used to some of the sportier Volvos having a firm ride but the seats being supple-firm vs. firm. I also found the rear seats to seem upright. If you've driven an XC40, this feels like the sportier sedan version of that car but with a different type of tuning to the suspension.
Tom Voelk is the gold standard of car reviews.
Yes, Tom is amazing. Down to earth & to the point.
Ha ha ha. He's alright but no need to exaggerate.
He doesn't have much personality. It's just a car review with no real charisma.
Tie with Alex Dykes
I appreciate how Tom keeps his act clean every time he introduces the evil twin.
Really rooting for Polestar, another all electric brand is needed.
I'm always rooting for choice
@@DrivenCarReviews Exactly! And instead of gunning for Tesla buyers, I think there is plenty room for several good players. They compete with fossil cars, not each other
@@DrivenCarReviews Sorry just another Volvo under a silly name at a ridiculous price!
@@adama8570 How is the price ridiculous? Its the same price as a Tesla 3.
Really glad to see you review the Polestar. Thanks Tom!
An exceptionally helpful review! You, Sir are a pro at this! Being a Dane, living in .... Denmark, this is the first time I have seen your work. And I find it to be top notch automotive journalism. But I guess you have already been told that a million times. I really enjoyed your editorial style, the pace, and composition. Excellent filming and editing.
And I've been to your fine country, had a great time.
Excellent work, Tom. "As always," of course.
Another excellent review Mr. Voelk! As a transplanted native Northwesterer, I also appreciate the outstanding background scenery. Thank you!
Nice audible using those kettlebells to get the results you needed. Entertaining and informational review once again, Tom.
Mr Voelk, sublime yet subtle. Sympathetic and professional approach. I'll keep watching your videos. Thank you.
Awesome. Maybe get some sleep though.
Great video, Tom!
Excellent as usual. Kudos!
Another Awesome and informative review Tom. You cover everything to the little things that matter to us. As I am eating my Veraci pizza, Classic pepperoni (large), of course. Practically spit it out with some of the good crazy things and dings, like Gap T-Shirt to the everything in the closet to the Creep on your neighbor. You are strong like a Viking Tom.
love your reviews Thanks : )
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years. It was a pleasure meeting you last week! Keep up the good work!
That raised bevel on the bumper just underneath the "grille" has got to be purpose built, it reflects light so intensely that in some of your shots I mistook it for a light bar.
Love your reviews Tom! Feel free to ignore this if you disagree, but I feel it would be helpful to add chapters to your videos. Sometimes I just want to get the conclusion, especially if I'm familiar with the vehicle already. I'm guessing other viewers might feel the same. Hope that's not too picky of me and keep up the great work!
Very good review thanks
Another good one brother.
Looks very clean and elegant. I like!
Thanks, Tom! Another good job. Would you pick this or the Mustang EV?
Great and fun review.
I love the looks of the 2; I live in SC and I saw the other day that the Polestar 3 will be produced at the Volvo plant in SC. I drive a Bolt, which replaced a BMW 530e. I tell anyone buying an EV that they need a home charging station and that a station > a 240 outlet because you don't have to drag out the charging cord from your trunk. The other think is that charging speed may be more important than range as long as the range is decent (> 200 miles). This is a great review, Tom.
The one pedal driving works really well and inspires confidence. I really like it.
Yes, the suspension could be a bit softer but I have gotten used to it
Over all, it's a really nice car and I am excited about the future of this company
Thanks Tom 😄All my Google Assistent Systems had been activated. The Polestar 2 is a nice alternative to other Vehicles 👍😛
Yup, great to see more choices
Great review, thanks
I tend to wait until I watch an entire video before I hit the Like button, but the is time only took 10 seconds. Yes, I too am sick of every EV being touted as a "Tesla killer."
Here to comment exactly the same!
no killers until they also go the dealer-less route
Cool car, I have only seen one of these on the road soo far. In my opinion it looks like a lifted saloon car. The rear end isn't my favourite. Thanks for making and great edits Tom
Thank you, Tom.
Wonderful car, solid Volvo chassis. I hope you can get an optional roof sunshade maybe can get a stick up one for hot days. Glad to see all season tires on it aswell. Thanks for a great review. Maybe a WAGON will come next year !!! Awesome stuff.
Sadly, a wagon does not look like a reality. However, Volvo's Concept Recharge looks something like a wagon and maybe they'll make something like it one day.
Maybe it is not a "Tesla Killer" but it looks great and it is priced right. Great review Tom.
The Volvo chassis puts Tesla's to shame. Can't wait for accident tests.
Every new EV on the market is Tesla killers.
Just a great driver car! I have one since July 2022 and it has been a great experience all around. Make your deposit (now there are several cars available on the lots), wait for the car to arrive to your dealer and pick it up or have it delivered at home. Super car to drive. Probably one of the best car I have owned. Love it!
When will they bring out an estate (wagon) (V90 - V70) equivalent? Only then might I consider getting one. I'm not particularly interested in hybrids.
Another excellent video MacGyver. Not going to spend any money on cars just now ... I want to save up and buy a house in this neighborhood.
Glad to see automakers handing off the UI work to the real professionals. Hopefully it begins a trend
Most of them are
Can't wait for your test drive of the Fisker Ocean EV SUV.
Great information 👍 Now that you have driven several electric vehicles what is you favorite? I have driven xc40 recharge, mach-e, kona electric so far I really liked the recharge so far
Hoping to get into the Recharge ASAP
This a very reasonably priced car in Norway. It's about 100000 kr cheaper than the Mach-e (4wd long range; albeit way bigger battery and more spacious), looks very well built, seems like a lot of fun to drive and charging speed is ok. Very excited to see how ota updates affect both of these cars though. Thanks for another great review :)
dang this vehicle looks slick
Can't wait for the Ionic 5. Tom's review will be the best as usual.
Think of this as a CCP Electric Car. I would rather have anything but a chinese electric car. Sorry.
@@guidedmeditation2396 Ionic is the new electric division of Hyundai.
@@mrphilbert1 He's talking about the Polestar (Volvo)
@@alh06 Duh. No kidding.
Keep waiting. The Ioniq (i also alway forget the q and put a c instead) 5 won't be launched in the US until late fall, which could be December. Hyundai has more serious issues with their battery suppliers that could put a big wrench in any US launch. Their battery packs from LG are being recalled for fire risk (yet another fire risk recall, which Hyundai/Kia really wish to get behind them, no pun intended), so Hyundai is moving away from LG Chem. Their other preferred supplier, SK Innovations, lost a huge lawsuit for IP theft from none other than LG Chem, so the ITC has banned import of SKI battery packs into the US. Of course SKI was given a 4 year extension for the precious Ford F-150 Electric before the ban, but no such luck for Hyundai. So that leaves CATL, a dreaded Chinese EV battery manufacturer, currently the largest in the world, but also with a history of fires. Panasonic is exclusive to Tesla and Toyota. Samsung SDI doesn't have the pouch battery design that the Ioniq needs, and Samsung also has a history of fires. Koreans just can't keep the fire contained only in their noodles, and have to have it exploding out of their engines and batteries as well...
In addition to the screens turning off quirk, I believe you can't roll down the back windows if there is no passenger in the driver seat.
This car is too cool. Cheers!
I don't mind that it's built in China. Is it the best choice? That all depends on your preference. This is better built over most Tesla cars and I'll trade some range if I have to to get a better cabin.
The obvious political ramifications are there for some. I just didn't want to go down the rabbit hole since I won't be changing anyone's mind.
Tesla Model 3 are built in China, and those cars are better built than the American ones.
Agree
I’m in Australia and when we started sourcing Teslas from Shanghai, rather than Fremont CA, we noticed a huge improvement in build and paint quality. The Chinese know how to build quality cars.
8:27 Is it me or I saw a strand of Tom's hair on the seat?🤣
Nice reviews Tom..still waiting for the Mercedes benz c class 2021 model
It's good to see an unbiased review of the polestar 2, RUclips is full of Tesla fanboys bashing it.
I feel this car really suits you Tom haha
I've just ordered one as a company vehicle.. going to be interesting to see in April how it behaves. Your video definitely helped me in my desicions, thank you! ;-)
Same chassis as an XC40 RECHARGE, it'll be wonderful.
LOL to activating my entire house's google systems XD
Beautiful car. Glad for more EV options.
amazing car 🚗👌🏻
Just watched jayemm on cars‘ video on the old 6 cylinder v60 Polestar...
Well done Tom, as always. Does the XC 40 recharge from Volvo use the same battery/chassis? Thanks for the great review
Yes, same CMA platform. Also, it's jus been announced there's a C40 Recharge with a fastback backend
I'd take the XC 40 EV over this thing
@@naughtysauce4323 how come?
@@levelUpJosh_ Cheaper, better looking, more practical, built in Belgium, etc etc
Very nice car. Added to my list for my next EV after I’m done with my Tesla Model 3...need to get rid of that sticker on the door with the car model information...really??? Agree with you on the Tesla hype (I own a model 3 and had a Y that I sold). Great cars, but there are pluses and minuses like any other car. Also agree on range needs. Unless you drive long distance A LOT, a car with around 200-225 is more than enough.
It’s a great drive and ver 2 software helps improve range slightly , ramps up charging to true 120kw but sub 20% still only get 77kw -100kw the google display software still needs work try before you buy
You are spot-on with GM supercruise versus Tesla "Autopilot" (beta). But, Tom, please please please 1. keep the midroll ads, but 2. take an extra minute in the RUclips app to _PLACE_ the midroll ads at logical breaks in the content, rather than mid-word. :-/
It takes some time for the mid-roll ad location option to happen, as of this morning I didn't have it yet.
Volvo offers some of the most comprehensive free over the air software upgrades, so I wouldn't expect anything different from Polestar.
Perhaps, I don't have enough experience to make that hard statement yet.
@@DrivenCarReviews They are in the process this week of sending OTA updates and yes they are free, including a safety recall update.
I've had my 2024 RWD for about six months now and just love it. It is a great road tripper. Would you consider reviewing the 2024 RWD? While little has changed on the outside, the RWD version really is significant upgrade with not just the change from FWD but also a bigger faster charging battery.
Is that vehicle charging in thunder? Or midnight?
Both you and Doug released reviews with cars that turn on and off depending on if it senses the key AND weight in the driver's seat. (Doug reviewed the ID. 4, if anyone's wondering.)
I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the car running so you can defrost windows while you scrape them without breaking out the kettle bells.
There has to be a way to do exactly this -- there's no way that a brand overseen by Swedes wouldn't think about this.
Pretty sure that can be done while preconditioning the car while it's plugged. At the very least.
Yep, set pre-conditioning which heats the car up whilst you don’t need to be sat in it.
Tom - I'm a subscriber who really enjoys your take on cars - been following you since your early days at the NYT. Here's a question - grateful if you have time to reply - why do you think your (rather) glowing review of the Polestar 2 is so much at odds with Consumer Reports? After watching your review this morning, an email arrived in my inbox from CR an hour or so later - with this headline "First Drive: 2021 Polestar 2 Confuses and Frustrates." You wouldn't know that it was the same car!
So I just read it and feel like CR collectively woke up grumpy. And this confuses them, well, yikes. They describe the ride quality as jumpy and choppy. I might prefer firmer suspensions but I feel it's far from that. Some of the things they dislike (turn signal sound, interior materials) are what both Martin and I really liked (you can hear him laughing from the back seat BTW). Other things like thermometer settings in even numbers only are inconsequential since car cabin heaters vary by degrees anyways. I did forget to mention that the cruise can only be set in 5 mph increments but if you're using adaptive, that also doesn't matter since it just goes with the flow. CR complains about the user interface and having to go into menus but that's not really true. Every function is just an "okay Google" prompt away. No need to even look at the screen. These are things I figured out immediately. Would love to have one for a long term tester to really dig into it.
I was number 419, Tom!
is that thunder paint or midnight?
What colours was that car - exterior and interior please ?
I am not a fan of the external styling. However, more options at more reasonable prices are good!
But does it come with a cassette player?
Another great review Tom. Since I do mostly city driving, I’m seriously thinking about getting an EV as my next car. Also, Thanks for “keeping it real” in regards to Tesla too. Elon is a genius and I too appreciate what they’ve done to bring EVs to the forefront of the car world but the fan boys turned me off of Tesla. Thankfully there’s now cars like the Polestar 2, Mach-E and even the Bolt EUV out there now.
With over 200 miles and rapidly expanding charging networks you can venture away from the city. I do it all the time when I have a car with over 175 miles of range. It's not a big deal unless you have specific needs of high mileage. Time your next driving break stop, they tend to be around 15 minutes with a gas car.
Wow. Nice car.
Tom Have you reviewed the DBX from Aston?
On the list
I didn't know there were 4 door scion tc's
no review of long distance charging logistics ? Does the android infotainment/route planning work well ?
I checked out route planning and the system found charging stations when I put Portland, OR in as a destination but I had no time to realistically test it out. Only had the car for a little more than 48 hours so I was concentrating on the basics.
thx for quick reply , and all of your awesome reviews ! Love the channel ... I asked because the snag with the VW ID4 route planner is the lack of integration with DC fast charging options such as Electrify America , this is despite the fact VW funded EA ! Totally absurd and half baked.
@@ophthodawg Yeah, that's kind of nuts to see VW and EA not talking to each other. OTA updates to the rescue!
haha.. gap t-shirt.. good one..
You mentioned it's the Thunder color but that is incorrect. That color is Midnight.
Which would you choose between the Ford Mustang Mach-e or the Polestar 2? I have a reservation for the Mach-e GT but recently test drove the Polestar 2 and loved it. Waiting to test drive the Mach-e before I decide but I think the interior of the Polestar 2 is what will sway me.
It would be hard for me to choose. The PS interior is great, a step up from the Ford. Android OS is impressive. My family destroyed a bunch of Volvos and I'll admit to missing the Nordic vibe. I like the room and design of of the Mach-E and the easy availability of dealerships. For now I'm waiting for a year or two to see what else comes along (Ionic 5, XC40 Recharge, etc). I'd even think about snagging an e-tron off lease. But I really want a Taycan.
@@DrivenCarReviews thank you for your response and for your great reviews. I’m excited to see what the joint Toyota-Subaru alliance will launch too since its rumored that Toyota will be the first one to produce a solid state battery powered car.
I love mine.
What if you want to sit in the car for a while with nothing on? You say it starts when you sit down. Does it go off after a while, and if so, after how long of just sitting there in the seat?
There is an option in the car menu to manually turn it off
The "butt-on" 😅. Their marketing department should pay you for that! You should do an EV ranking some episode.
Booty start button!
The styling reminds me of the Dodge Charger. That's not a diss. I LIKE how the Charger looks. What I'm not crazy about is the butt-button vs. starter button. Product liability attorneys: start your engines.
I sometimes wonder if he actually does have a twin for real...
In Switzerland Dual engine has the same price as Tesla Model 3 Long Range. One has more style other more range.
The choice really comes to subjective feeling about each car.
Test drove it last November in Toronto. In reality it's the size of a Model 3, smaller than I expected. Sporty indeed but lost traditional Volvo charm in my opinion.
As one of your long times viewers you really always do it right I like that car a lot I had a first generation civic hybrid
From 03 to 2011 183,000 miles on it with original brakes and tires on it Honda replaced The Ima battery 4 times also a cvt failure at 52K it was fine after that someday this looks like a good choice for a first electric car don’t like The Mach E Much your evil twin looked a little cranky today Stay Well All The Best Always look forward to all your future work it’s always solid😀
P
I meant original brakes and exhaust after 183000 miles
Thanks for triggering all of my Google devices XD
Thanks for letting a multinational spy on you 24/7.
Hey Google, watch Tom Voelk on RUclips...
Excellent video as always, Tom. Your comment "Buying and Service will be more adventuresome" is an understatement. I cancelled my Polestar 2 order after finding out that they were cancelling the opening of a Polestar "Space" in my city, as service and maintenance are only done via Spaces in the US (they do not utilize the Volvo dealer network), and the closest one to me, for at least the next 2 years, is 115 miles away. That's close enough to get free pickup and dropoff for service (if you're over 150 miles away they will charge you for every mile over 150) but would still require they flatbed tow it to and from the Space, and they don't guarantee you'll get a loaner. I was just imagining what a hassle it would be to get a small rattle or minor issue like a faulty wiper blade fixed....every time it needed anything it would have to be towed away for at least 2 days. And I can imagine getting into fights with the Service people who don't want to have to tow my car 230 round trip to fix minor issues, making me wait until the next major service is needed. And they don't have roaming service people like Tesla does. Just seemed like too big a risk or hassle. If you live close to one of the five current US Spaces it's a much better proposition.
But it also still, after 6 months of them saying "coming soon", does not have CarPlay or any functioning SiriusXM radio. The last rep I spoke to said they thought maybe "late 2021". OTA updates are great in theory but one lesson I've learned is never buy a product on the promise of future functionality...always get it and like it for what it has now. Those promises could never come (or take forever) and you'll be sorely disappointed. So to folks that have asked me if I thought this car was worth it, I say if you can be happy with the current service model, and lack of CarPlay and SiriusXM for the foreseeable future, then it could be a good vehicle for you.
p.s. Be sure to read Consumer Reports review of this vehicle as well...they go into a lot of other detail that could be useful (like installing/using car seats, etc)
Looks like the Love Child of a Saab and a Volvo. Efficiency is disappointing, otherwise pretty decent. Good review Tom!

Is Polestar the new SAAB?
Challenges to being an early adopter! My Polestar 2 EV was in the Volvo/Polestar service dept for the 2nd time in its short lease life, this time for 26 days, to try to fix software and possibly hardware issues. With the help/intervention of Polestar corporate, the car was finally returned yesterday afternoon with 45% remaining so I plugged it in and I couldn't immediately charge it. Back to the service dept today; the brutal saga continues! According to IHS Markit, forecasted expected volume for 2021 is only about 250 vehicles/month. Polestar corporate, its PS2 vehicle, the customer service team, vehicle repair services, and parts inventory are clearly not ready for prime time in the US! It is not like you can go to another dealer or repair shop; your are stuck with the one service location and team. Lesson learned?
Yikes. Sorry to hear that Darrel. But thanks for posting so we understand what you're going through. Hopefully an isolated case? You are getting a loaner, correct?
@@DrivenCarReviews I am receiving a loaner. Thanks and I have been a long time follower in the NY Times and on your channel and absolutely love your reviews! I love cars, driving cars and shopping for cars and reading/viewing car reviews. I felt like I needed to contribute to the community in a constructive and informative way and hope I did so with this post. Polestar as a start up type company has a lot of challenges ahead but this PS2 is a wonderful product; so I'll try to remain a patient consumer/lessee. Take care!

The blind spot warning or Harmon Kardon is NOT standard - base Euro model is not equipped with that feature
I think that this car is pretty appealing, however I think a huge selling point for Tesla’s ist the great infrastructure of superchargers...
Put EVGo, Electrify America, and ChargePoint together and there's a similar number of plugs available. And far fewer people using them.
@@DrivenCarReviews And Tesla will be giving that advantage way very soon when they open up their SC network to other brands!!!
Hey, I went to college there
The badge looks like a citroen on booze !
Beautiful car - have admired in on line for some time ... but .... this is a compact car. I checked one out yesterday live and in person. These are meant for people 5'4" to 5'9". I'm tall but not crazy tall (6'3") and that "cockpit" is tight! The center console takes up way too much space (uh - only 1 cup holder?) and the back seats? - forget it - OK for a couple small kids and may teens until they reach puberty. No way this car can comfortably fit 4 adults (unless all in the height range noted above)
Is this the first application of Android? I am skeptical of first generation software.
It was just 3 days of testing but the operation was flawless. Genuinely impressive.
And it's upgradable with OTA as Google progresses :)
