2 Long Range Performance (MY23)

The Polestar 2 Long Range Performance (MY23) is a 5-seat liftback with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2023, when it cost £54,550 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds, quicker than 81% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 239 miles (385 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 41% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 37th of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.2 mi/kWh (195 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 75 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 97 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 250 miles (402 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £17,600–£20,600 and a 2023 one at £20,700–£22,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 221 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
