Polestar has tweaked the 2 for the 2026 model year with new technology and a fetching new colour – which some might call beige. 

The updates include an boosted infotainment processor chip, improving its performance, and a new top-tier audio system option from Bowers & Wilkins. 

The new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip is said to support quicker download speeds for in-car apps, faster reaction times within apps and actions, improved display responsiveness, and smoother performance within its infotainment system overall. 

The Bowers & Wilkins audio system comprises 14 speakers, with a total output of 1,350 Watts. Key features include Tweeter-on-Top technology for improved clarity and Continuum midrange speakers that minimise distortion. It looks good too, with branded grilles on the door panels.

The new exterior colour, Dune, also makes its debut on Polestar 2. This metallic paint has a smooth mica finish with a hue described as ‘sandy’. It replaces Jupiter in the colour range. 

Externally, a new five-spoke design for the car’s 20-inch forged alloy Performance wheels is introduced and available as part of the optional Performance Pack. 

On the interior, a new MicroTech upholstery in Charcoal with distinctive quilting design is available with the optional Plus Pack.

As with Polestar 3, Plug & Charge technology is now included in Polestar 2. Plug & Charge can be enabled via the Polestar Charge app and within the car settings. Once enabled, the need for multiple charging cards or apps is eliminated, streamlining the overall experience 

Polestar is also introducing a new, optional Prime Pack comprising the Pilot, Plus, and Climate packs, and rear privacy glass, as one cost-effective pack bundle. 

The new 2 is available to order now.
