The Polestar 2 has been a foundational vehicle for the brand in Australia, and it continues to evolve with a series of significant updates. The 2024 model year saw major improvements, including increased driving range and efficiency. A key change was the shift of the single-motor variants from front-wheel drive to a more dynamic rear-wheel-drive configuration, which enhances the driving experience. Additionally, the dual-motor variants were re-calibrated to have a rear-biased power distribution, moving away from the previous 50:50 split and improving overall handling.

Polestar has continued to refine the lineup for the 2025 model year with a focus on value and packaging. The brand has streamlined its offering, making the previously optional Pilot Pack standard on all vehicles. This pack includes crucial safety features like Pilot Assist and a 360-degree camera. Despite this addition, starting prices for the Polestar 2 are now up to $5,000 cheaper than before, making it a more compelling proposition.

Looking ahead, the 2026 model year Polestar 2 is due to arrive in the second half of 2025. This updated model will focus on technological enhancements, including a new Qualcomm Snapdragon infotainment processor for faster performance and a new Prime Pack that bundles together the panoramic sunroof, heat pump, and electric tailgate.

Polestar is currently offering special nationwide drive-away prices on select pre-configured 2025 model year Polestar 2 inventory vehicles. This limited-time offer, which is valid for orders placed before August 31, 2025, and delivered before September 30, 2025, makes it an ideal time for buyers to get into a new Polestar 2 with a significant discount and no additional on-road costs.
