The single motor version of the 2022 Polestar 2 is heading to the United States from US$ 47,200 including a US$ 1,300 destination charge. Like the dual-motor version of the Polestar 2, the single-motor variant has a 78 kWh lithium-ion battery pack but rather than producing 408 hp and 660 Nm, it is capped at 231 hp and 336 Nm. It also has an EPA-estimated maximum driving range of 426 km, which is better than the 400 km range of the dual-motor version.
When federal, state, and utility incentives are factored in, the entry-level Polestar 2 can be purchased for as little as US$ 34,900 plus the US$ 1,300 destination charge. The single-motor Polestar 2 will be offered with three option packages. The first is the US$ 3,000 Pilot Pack which adds a host of electronic driving aids. Also on offer is the US$ 4,000 Plus Pack that includes a heat pump that can increase the range by up to 10 per cent in ideal conditions and uses thermal energy emitted by the drivetrain to heat the cabin; it also adds a full-length panoramic sunroof and a Harman-Kardon sound system.
Last but not least is the US$ 5,000 Performance Pack that brings with it an adjustable Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, Continental tires, and gold exterior accents. A handful of other standalone options are available, such as leather upholstery for US$ 4,000, 20-inch wheels for US$ 1,200, and a tow bar for US$ 1,200.
