Polestar has applied a number of improvements to the Polestar 2 for the 2026 model year, which is available to order now.
The Standard Range Single Motor variant is now fitted with a 70kWh battery from CATL, replacing the 69kWh LG Chem unit. This delivers a range improvement of five miles to 344 miles.
A new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip enables quicker download speeds for in-car apps, faster reaction times within apps and actions, improved centre display responsiveness, and smoother performance within the infotainment system overall.
As with Polestar 3, Plug & Charge technology is now included in Polestar 2, offering a seamless charging experience for drivers who can simply park at a public charger, plug in the charging cable, and let their car initiate and authenticate the process. Plug & Charge can be enabled via the Polestar Charge app and within the car settings. Once enabled, the need for multiple charging cards or apps is eliminated, streamlining the overall experience.
Polestar is also introducing a new, optional Prime Pack comprising the Pilot, Plus, and Climate packs, and rear privacy glass, as one bundle.
Offered as an additional upgrade, Polestar 2 can now be equipped with a Bowers & Wilkins sound system for £1,800. This comprises 14 speakers, with a total output of 1,350 Watts.
A new exterior colour, Dune, makes its debut on the 2026 Polestar 2. This contemporary metallic colour has a smooth mica finish with a sandy hue, and replaces Jupiter. Externally, a new five-spoke design for the car’s 20-inch forged alloy Performance wheels, the lightest available for Polestar 2 to date, is introduced and available as part of the optional Performance Pack. On the interior, a new bio-attributed MicroTech upholstery in Charcoal with distinctive quilting design and Black Ash deco is available with the optional Plus Pack.
