The Polestar 2 is the electric choice for those who value style over range.

Spunky handling · Intuitive infotainment
Limited driving range · High starting price

The 2026 Polestar 2 stands out with its Scandinavian chic design and sustainable materials, making every drive feel like a refined experience. Its dual electric motors deliver a spirited 421 hp, ensuring quick acceleration that keeps us grinning from ear to ear on winding canyon roads. However, its relatively low driving range leaves us planning our trips more carefully than we'd like in the EV era. Despite this, the Polestar 2's stylish interior and intuitive Google-based infotainment make it an enticing choice for city dwellers who prioritize aesthetics and tech-savvy features over long-haul capabilities. This car is for those who want to make a bold statement with an electric vehicle that doesn’t compromise on style or performance, but who can overlook the need for frequent charging sessions.

Our pick: Long Range Dual Motor ($66,200)
vs. 2026 BMW i5: The BMW i5 edges out with its superior range and slightly more luxurious feel.

A pleasant electric half car-half crossover that offers neither the driving range nor the performance of the best in the luxury EV class.
