The Polestar 2 is an all-electric 5-door fastback by automaker Polestar. Production began in March 2020[6] in Geely's existing plant in Luqiao, China, which already produces Volvo XC40, Lynk & Co 01 and Lynk & Co 02, all of which share the same CMA platform.[7]
Overview
The Polestar 2 was unveiled on 27 February 2019 during an internet livestream and made its first public appearance at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, also in February.[8] The prices are expected to start at US$63,000 and €59,900.[9]
It is the second car under the Polestar brand after the Polestar 1. Polestar 1 is however a plug-in hybrid, making the Polestar 2 the first BEV in the Volvo Car Group.[citation needed]

On both front ends a SPOC (Severe Partial Overlap Crash) block is attached to mitigate the crash forces and prevent and material entering the occupant compartment. The Polestar 2 also features centre airbag to protect from far-side impacts.[10]
