Polestar is making considerable changes to its basic Polestar 2 EV starting with the 2024 model year, including an updated entry finish bodywork similar to the new new Polestar 3 mannequin — for better “visibility.”
Notably, Polestar’s SmartZone replaces the conventional grille area with an array of digicam and radar sensors intended for security and driving assistance. The SmartZone, according to the company, represents a “change from ‘breathing’ through a front grille to’seeing’ the road ahead.”
The 2024 Polestar 2 will also gain significant efficiency gains with all-new electrical motors, a more powerful battery, sustainability advancements, and, for the first time in a Polestar vehicle, accessible rear-wheel drive.
“In the automotive business, a facelift often includes superficial cosmetic alterations that frequently damage the original goal of the vehicle’s design concept,” said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath. “With the new model year Polestar 2, we looked under the surface and improved significant tech and mechanical components of the electric powertrain. This is the greatest Polestar 2 yet, and with the redesigned front design and new SmartZone, it’s also the nicest looking.”
