Polestar went to work to update the Polestar 2 Single Motor, making it more efficient, more powerful, and more fun. The Single Motor is now rear-, not front-wheel-drive, and a huge power bump in the process. A bigger battery offering more range and faster charging doesn’t hurt either.

In this video, I take you through the car, show you what features are offered and how they work. And then I take you on a drive to get a sense of how well it handles, the quality of the ride, and the overall experience.
