Polestar 2 Hatchback
The futuristic Polestar 2 is a fully-electric ‘performance fastback’ saloon with a range close to 400 miles between charges, and which acts as a key rival to the Tesla Model 3. Swedish specialists Polestar - a company owned by Volvo - revamped the Polestar 2 in 2023, making significant improvements to both efficiency and power. And with entry-level ‘Standard Range Single Motor’ models coming equipped with an abundance of kit as standard, the Polestar 2 makes for a tantalising lease prospect.
