But following a recent facelift – bringing extra range and performance – the Polestar 2 is arguably an even more appealing package than it already was. This Swedish electric fastback doesn’t quite offer the same exhilarating driving experience a BMW i4 does, nor can it match the Tesla’s practicality or brutal acceleration.


Plus, they’re a good deal cheaper than the dual-motor versions. On balance, we recommend the single-motor variants, thanks to their excellent standard equipment, decent performance and long range.

The Polestar 2 is a handsome and well built alternative to the Tesla Model 3, filled with lots of safety kit and a Google-powered infotainment system that’s easy to use.
