Canadian market pricing for the Polestar 2
EV has been set at CAD$ 69,900 (US$ 50,000). Meanwhile, deliveries to reservation holders are scheduled to begin in
late summer 2020.
For those of you counting, that’s just shy
of a (very significant) US$ 0,000 difference over the U.S. market model that
will start from US$ 59,900. Interestingly, that makes the Polestar 2 CA$ 8,090
(US$ 5,800) cheaper than the range-topping Tesla Model 3 Performance (CA$ 77,900)
in Canada, whereas in the United States, the Swedish EV is CA$ 4,100 (US$ 2,910)
more expensive than the equivalent Tesla.
Currently, the Swedish carmaker is
targeting a lease price of CAD$ 899/month, to go with 0.9% APR financing.
Polestar believes this offer to be “extremely competitive” in terms of both
payments and MSRP. Additionally, optional extras on the Polestar 2 will cost
you as follows: CAD$ 6,000 (US$ 4,284) for the Performance Pack, CAD$ 5,000 (US$ 3,570) for the nappa leather interior, CAD$ 1,200 (US$ 856) for the 20-inch
alloy wheels and another CAD$ 1,200 (US$ 856) if you want a metallic paint color.
You can purchase your Polestar 2 right now
by accessing the brand’s website. Moving forward, the carmaker will also open
additional Polestar Spaces, with a strategically placed network in Toronto,
Montreal and Vancouver. Unveiled a little over a year ago, the Polestar 2
boasts a fully electric drivetrain, sending 408 HP and 660 Nm of
torque to all four corners. It’s also the first car in the world to utilize an
infotainment system powered by Android, with Google Assistant, Google Maps and
the Google Play Store built in.
