The single-motor Polestar 2 starts at $45,900.
Swedish electric automaker Polestar is bringing its most affordable model to the US. The long-range, single-motor Polestar 2 may not have as much performance as the dual-motor variant, but it will certainly be more accessible.
The single-motor was previously only available to pre-order in the US. Starting this week, deliveries of this variant are beginning. Interested car buyers can also test drive the EV if they want, at Polestar’s two dozen retail locations around the country. The single-motor Polestar 2 starts at $45,900, as compared to $51,200 for the dual-motor version. Polestar says the price can get down to $33,400 after qualified federal and state incentives. The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that the Polestar 2’s long-range single-motor model has 270 miles of driving range. It has the same 78-kWh battery pack as the dual-motor version, sending 231 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels.
