As for the increase in range, only the 2023 Polestar 2 Dual Motor gets a bump, with a preliminary estimated 260-mile US EPA range. This increase is thanks to software improvements, implementing an 11-mile increase from the 2022 model year. The 2023 Polestar 2 Single Motor model is still rated at 270 miles by EPA.
Updates on the Polestar 2 for the new model year have been announced recently, but not all of them are available in the US. The US-spec Polestar 2 will have an upgraded heat pump designed for better cold-weather performance, new design options across the interior and exterior of the car, and a more advanced air quality sensor.
The Polestar 2 is now available in "Space" metallic black color, plus a new "Jupiter" metallic shade has been added to the list of color options. Both the standard 19-inch and optional 20-inch wheels have been redesigned. Inside, a new ventilated Nappa leather option is available in a light grey "Zinc" color, which is paired with new Light Ash wood trim.
There's a new performance software upgrade for the Performance Pack for the 2023 model year. The upgrade adds 68 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque to the car. The Performance Pack is only available for the dual-motor variant, but will also be available to purchase as a separate software upgrade for both existing and future dual-motor cars, with and without the Performance Pack.
Deliveries of the 2023 Polestar 2 will begin in September of this year.
