Packed with fashionable, desirable and great driving cars, the Best Premium Electric Car Award was a hard-fought category in this year’s Auto Trader New Car Awards with some incredibly strong contenders.
That our winner beat both the Tesla Model 3 and the Porsche Taycan is a measure of its talents, the Polestar 2 blazing a trail for Volvo’s premium electrified offshoot after the high-profile debut of the astonishing Polestar 1 coupe. Where that car was a six-figure statement of intent for what Polestar stood for the 2 is the one that really gets down to business, the combination of distinctive looks, fashionable crossover stance and neatly integrated Google operating system all setting it apart. It may not be quite as fast as the Tesla or Porsche but it still has over 400 horsepower and the range is sufficient for most regular journeys. “It’s fully electric and has been as sustainably built as possible. Polestar has been very open about the impact on the environment and traceability of the materials used in manufacturing. It’s the future,” said one very well informed owner. Acceleration, looks and tech were all commented on favourably by others, underlining just how much they love their Polestars.
