Polestar 2 further reduced in price

Polestar New Zealand is now offering new 2023 examples of its standard-range single-motor Polestar 2 for $44,990. That’s a $25k discount on its MRP of $69,990. There are 11 still available in a range of colours, and all are brand new. 

The offer is available until the end of March (or while stocks last) and the price includes a three-year service plan, roadside assist and connectivity.  On Road Costs add an extra $2000.

Midway through last year, the price for the same model was $54,990, down from its MRP of $79,990. And back then there was a $5k cashback on top of the reduction. So now these discounted models are another $5k less expensive. However, these models are the prefacelift variants that aren’t quite as powerful as current jodels (170kW/330Nm) and are front-wheel drive. The 2024 versions are rear drive with 200kW and 490Nm and that subtracts a second from the sprint time. Range is also greater, rising from 380 to 440km. 

Features of the base model include adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist, parking sensors and a 360-degree camera. 

Prefer a Long Range, Dual Motor (Pilot) model instead? They’re available for $61,990 (MRP is $86,990), also a $25k saving. And the same thing with the Plus package is going for $69,990 (was $95k). The performance version is down from $105k to $80k.

The 2024 Polestar 2 variant, the rear driver, is offered at $64,990, down from $93,990 as a LRSM variant. The same thing with the Plus package (adds panoramic roof, vegan leather seats, Qi charging, heated wheel and rear seats, and updated sounds) goes for $74,990, down from $100k. 

The two 2024 dual-motor versions, both long range, are $85k and $95k, down from $110k and $120k, respectively.
