The Single motor Long Range version of the car, though, gets the same 78 kWh battery pack as the Dual motor version, and as a result of its lower power, gets greater range. On the WLTP test cycle, it gets 515-540 km (320-336 miles) of range, as compared to the more powerful Dual motor car’s 450-480 km (280-298 miles) of range. The Standard Range version, meanwhile, gets 420-440 km (261-273 miles).

“We designed this car to be a truly desirable avant-garde EV,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO. “The combination of looks, our choice of materials, and the Polestar experience are the essence of Polestar 2. I’m proud that the team has created a car that gives you a great premium experience as standard, regardless of whether you add the well-curated option packs or not.”

The car is also now offered with three trims: The Performance, Plus, and Pilot Packs. The last is the cheapest, adding just €3,500 ($4,153 USD) to the price and additional safety tech like LED head and fog lights, a 360-degree camera.
