----------------------------------------------
Polestar 2 is the first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) from Polestar, the electric performance brand. Designed as a premium vehicle within its segment, Polestar 2 began production for global markets in early 2020.
Polestar aims to accelerate the change to more sustainable mobility and the Polestar 2 represents another step in that journey. Polestar requires rigorous environmental and ethical demands of its suppliers, and is always looking to challenge materials and manufacturing processes. An example of how the brand applies new thinking to drive improvement is the use of blockchain to provide improved traceability of cobalt used in its motors. The system helps ensure only responsibly mined cobalt is used, limiting environmental impact while guarding against exploitation in any labour force. Only two cobalt suppliers worldwide proved able to take on this approach, both now partner Polestar.The interior of the standard Polestar 2 is entirely vegan, meaning that zero animal products are applied. One of the key developments to enable this vegan commitment is Polestar 2โs WeaveTech interior textiles. Significantly lighter than leather, WeaveTech utilises a high quotient of recycled materials in its construction, wears durably and cleans easily. The material almost entirely eliminates the harmful phthalates (a substance also known as a plasticizer that increases material flexibility) found in the vinyl commonly used in automotive interiors.
Polestar 2 carries an excess of active and passive safety features in its Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), a direct result of Polestarโs relationship with Volvo Cars. From lane departure and lane keep assist functions to driver attention monitoring, and pre-collision warnings and interventions, the vehicle not only warns, but can intervene with steering and braking if it determines than a collision is imminent. Polestar 2 has a forward-facing camera that detects other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, and which reads road signs and display them on the 12.3-inch driver display. Safety is enhanced by the premiere of new inner-side airbags. Built into the inside of each front seatback, the inner-side airbags will deploy in the event of a side impact and are designed to contain the front occupants from both sides, supported of course by traditional side airbags. In total Polestar 2 has eight airbags with dual front, side, inner-side and curtain airbags included.
From a dynamic standpoint, Polestar 2 seeks not just to stand out in the EV space, but to be a great driverโs car overall, even amongst the most rewarding of internal combustion engine vehicles. The body is created from five different types of steel, including hard-to-form ultra-high-strength boron steel, for superior torsional rigidity. The battery case and Front Lower Load Path (FLLP) are made of extruded aluminium, which safeguards the 27-module, 324-cell battery, stiffens the body, and directs front, side and rear crash loads to specific parts of the body that are engineered to absorb and attenuate them.
This stiffness creates a premium platform to which the MacPherson strut front and multilink rear suspension systems combine to provide a high-quality ride and excellent handling characteristics for all weather and road conditions. At launch, Polestar 2 features all-wheel drive as standard with a maximum power bias of 50:50 front and rear.
The exterior of Polestar 2 is modern and minimalistic, incorporating top-rated safety performance, innovative lighting, and user-friendly features. Altogether, Polestar 2โs exterior advances the standard for electric vehicles in its segment.
Based on Volvo Carsโ proven CMA platform, Polestar 2 is a dynamic five-door fastback that enhances the user experience through a combination of intelligent ergonomics and expert packaging. The appearance is taut and modern, and nearly entirely free of bright trim. Instead, the dynamic proportions, which include a high rear roofline and tailgate for rear-seat passenger roominess and enhanced cargo volume, merge with standard 19-inch and optional 20-inch alloy wheels.
To create the interior of Polestar 2, designers targeted a theme that is modern with light-weight proportions, and two dynamic key-lines bisecting the space. Joining this refreshing design execution is a total commitment to user-friendliness, from the 11.15-inch centre touchscreen to the driverโs concise 12.3-inch instrument panel. Sound ergonomics make every facet of entering and exiting, driving and riding in Polestar 2 a pleasure.
