The 2025 Polestar 2 is a standout electric car for fleet buyers who want a blend of premium feel, engaging dynamics and everyday usability. It’s a more driver-focused EV than many mainstream alternatives, with confident handling, a refined ride and strong acceleration, particularly in the dual-motor versions.
Inside, the minimalist Scandinavian design gives a clean and modern ambience, anchored by a large portrait touchscreen that handles infotainment and vehicle controls. Cabin materials feel high-quality and durable, and the seating is comfortable for longer journeys. Practicality is strong too, with decent boot space and a useful front storage compartment.
On the road, the Polestar 2 is composed and assured. The single-motor version delivers smooth and efficient cruising, while the dual-motor and performance models add brisk acceleration that punches well above class norms. With solid range, fast-charging capability and ultra-low company-car tax, it’s a compelling EV for business users.
