The Polestar 2 Single Motor Long Range: Much Improved - With Room To Grow

A few years ago we got the chance to test out the Polestar 2 for the first time - and we had some opinions:    • 2022 Polestar 2 Review   But since then, Polestar has re-engineered the drivetrain and battery pack of its single-motor Polestar 2 - and made it a rear-wheel drive rather than front-wheel drive variant. And that, we think, has transformed the Polestar 2 in a very positive direction indeed. --- 00:00 - Introduction 01:41 - Opening Thoughts 03:07 - Original Polestar 2 FWD 03:55 - RWD improvements 04:42 - Improved battery pack 05:42 - More than a mid-cycle refresh 08:04 - Ride refinement 09:48 - Touch screen centre console system 11:33 - Downsides to the CMA platform 13:27 - Safety functions 15:13 - Android Automotive 17:25 - Cradle to Gate 18:28 - Things that are missing 21:41 - Charging 23:34 - Conclusion. 28:32 - Thanks and Goodbye! ---- Presenters: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield and Kate Walton-Elliott Camera, Editing, Coloring: Michael Horton Art, Chase Car Driver: Erin Carlie Audio, Producer: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield © Transport Evolved LLC, 2023 ------ Find our postal address: https://www.transportevolved.com Buy one of our T-Shirts: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/153... ----- Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @transportevolved   This video was made possible thanks to the kind donations of our supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi.
