Established car makers have it easy — they have the reputation that consumers look for. That's why when it comes to the best electric cars, you'll find a lot of options from car makers who've been around for a while. The Polestar 2 is a 5-door liftback that’s looking to steal some of the attention from more established brands in the EV space, thanks particularly to its minimalist design aesthetics.
I drove a 2024 Polestar 2 for a week and it’s one of the few all-electric sedans I’ve been able to test this year. Considering how the brand isn’t etched into the minds of consumers, Polestar really needs to distinguish itself in such a way to leave a lasting impression. However, the Polestar 2 could be at a disadvantage right from the onset with its $64,800 starting price — which pits it against other luxury EVs I’ve tested like the Lucid Air Pure and BMW i4 M50 Gran Coupe.
