The 2024 Polestar 2 has been unveiled with an improved range. The Long range Single motor RWD model will have up to 635 km (~395 miles) WLTP range; the shortest range will be for the Standard range Single motor EV at 518 km (~322 miles) on a single charge. The equivalent 2023 models have 550 km (~341 miles) and 478 km (~297 miles) range, respectively.

New standard equipment in the vehicle includes a wireless phone charger and Driver Awareness features like Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and Rear Collision Warning.
