Polestar has announced a bunch of upgrades to the Polestar 2, including two new exterior colors, new wheels, and updates to its interior.

The Polestar 2 is the second model to debut for the Swedish automotive brand, and the first all-electric option. Since being first introduced in 2019, this EV has continued to grow in popularity alongside the brand behind it.

In September of 2021, Polestar announced EU pricing for the Polestar 2, as well as the addition of new powertrain options.
This included a new Long Range Single Motor version of the fastback EV. By December, we learned the EPA range had jumped to 270 miles, 37 more than the 2021 model and 21 more miles than the 2022 Dual Motor trim.
The latest Polestar 2 upgrades are focused more on design and sustainability rather than range, although customers should see improvements in that department as well.
