GM Authority spy photographers recently captured The General benchmarking the all-electric Polestar 2 sedan in the vicinity of the Milford Proving Ground.
First breaking cover in February of 2019, the Polestar 2 made splashdown as the brand’s first fully electric, volume model. The four-door is characterized by horizontal styling elements for the front fascia, with LED lighting in front and T-shaped lighting signatures. A panoramic roof is seen up top, while the profile shows off large multi-spoke alloy wheels, crisp white body panels, and black trim pieces.
Providing the motivation is either one or two electric motors, depending on the model. The range-topping configuration is the Long range Dual motor trim, which produces 408 horsepower and 487 pound-feet of torque. The Polestar 2 is also offered in a Long range Single motor layout that produces 231 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. The dual motor version is rated at 260 miles per charge, while the Long range Single motor is rated at 270 miles per charge.
As for equipment, three packages are available, including Pilot, Plus, and Performance. The optional Performance Pack is arguably the most interesting, adding in manually adjustable Ohlins Dual Flow Valve dampers, four-piston Brembo brakes, forged alloy wheels, and gold detailing. A range of tech is included with the Pilot pack, such as Pilot Assist, Cross Traffic Alert, and a 360-degree camera, while the Plus pack adds in a Harman Kardon sound system, the panoramic glass roof, and WeaveTech seats.
The Polestar 2 onboard infotainment system incorporates Google Android Automotive OS with Google built-in, while customers can select the available vegan interior and reconstructed wood options if desired.
The Polestar 2 is produced in Luqiao, China, and is sold in North America, Europe, China, and Asia Pacific markets. In the U.S., pricing for the Polestar 2 starts at $53,950 before incentives for the Long range Single motor model, while the Long range Dual motor model starts at $61,250.
Notably, Cadillac is currently working on a new Cadillac EV crossover set to slot in below the Cadillac Lyriq in terms of exterior sizing, per earlier GM Authority coverage.

Who cares how GM advertises.
Now that you’re such a Twiiter fan and a Musk die hard fan, put your order in for a new Tesla. Make sure to sell that old Vette as Musk won’t approve and he’ll ban you from Twitter.
I was caught up in hate after I watched Jan 6th and then heard my close friends and family repeat lies on social media that it was Antifa.
I am raising 3 very young kids by myself. I want them to grow up in this Country and even tho i definitely dont want another 9/11, I remember for the first time realizing why I love this country. I was 13 and remember feeling so united. With everyone. During the national anthems you felt love. Thinking about those memories then fast forwarding to now makes me so truly sad. That’s all I can say bc I can’t argue with lies.
