POLESTAR has introduced a model year 2026 update with new features and technology to Polestar 2.

The updates include an upgraded processor chip, improving the performance of the car's infotainment system and a new top-tier audio system option.

Polestar 2 receives a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip, supporting quicker download speeds for in-car apps, faster reaction times within apps and actions, improved centre display responsiveness, and smoother performance within its infotainment system overall.

As with Polestar 3, Plug and Charge technology is now included in Polestar 2 enabling drivers to park at a public charger, plug in the charging cable, and let their car initiate and authenticate the process.

Polestar is also introducing a new, optional Prime Pack comprising the Pilot, Plus, and Climate packs, and rear privacy glass, as one cost-effective pack bundle. Tint is now applied to rear side windows, in addition to the tailgate window.

Polestar 2 model year 2026 also gets a battery update for the Standard range Single motor variant in select markets.

All Polestar markets now offer a 70 kWh battery from CATL, in contrast to the previous 69 kWh LG Chem battery, meaning this variant now has an improved range of up to 346 miles, up from 341miles.

Prices start from £43,160, with the Long range Dual motor from £50,160.
