Polar Star 2 was officially launched in April last year, which is the second model launched by the Pole Star brand, and it is also a product in the true sense of the public; among them, the higher performance of the dual motor version has attracted the attention of many people to this Nordic luxury pure electric brand, but the naked car price of 338,000 has also turned away most of the consumers with a budget of less than 300,000, so the emergence of the 257,800 starting single motor version of the Pole Star 2 is very necessary, and the price is no longer its short board.
01
Appearance: Minimalist style has more personality
Polar Star 2 has obvious local characteristics in the design, fully interpreting the Nordic minimalist design style. The brand logo of the front and rear of the car adopts the same color design of the body, and if you glance at it, you will miss it if you don't pay attention. Whether you look at this car from the overall or local characteristics, you will find that it takes much technology and courage to achieve the ultimate simplicity, so even if people have mixed reviews of its design, no one doubts its uniqueness among many new energy products.
02
Interior: The entrance is both a top fit and a variety of optional accessories
Buying a Polestar 2 doesn't need to consider the configuration difference, two single motors and a double motor are exactly the same in configuration, so you only need to consider power and endurance, and the entry is the top match. In the interior materials, polar star 2 uses a large number of recyclable environmentally friendly materials, no traditional leather, through more complex process processing to create its own luxury cockpit. Of course, one of the biggest highlights is that the car machine system uses the Android native system, Tmall Genie voice control and Huawei application mall, the operation interface is more intuitive and concise, the logic is clear, and the massive local APP application is also greatly satisfied in terms of entertainment, this system does achieve smarter and richer human-computer interaction.
The basic configuration of The Star 2 is not low, but if you want to have a unique model of your own, you have to choose, the single-motor long endurance version can optionally install the intelligent driving assistance package, the price of 30,000 includes more than ten functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise, 360-degree panoramic image, etc., and there are more than ten functions such as comfort configuration including front seat ventilation, rear heating, polar star projection, etc.; but want to optionally include ohlins suspension, The high-performance package, including the brembo4 piston caliper, can only choose the dual-motor electric four-wheel drive version.
03
Driving: The power output is silky smooth, more like a fuel car
The permanent magnet synchronous motor equipped with the Polar Star 2 single motor long endurance version adopts a front-mounted layout, with a maximum power of 170 kilowatts (horsepower 231) and a total torque of 330 Nm of the motor, which is equivalent to the power level of 2.0T in the fuel vehicle. It provides a ternary lithium battery pack capacity of a single motor standard endurance of 68kwh, single motor long endurance version and dual motor version of the same 78kwh, although the dual motor version has more advantages in power, but the single motor long endurance version NEDC comprehensive working condition endurance maximum 565km, dual motor is 512km.
Polar star 2 single motor long endurance version in the power is not as strong as the dual motor, but do not have to worry about the power will not be able to meet the expectations, after stepping on the electric door more direct power transmission can be completely touched, compared to the dual motor version it is only in the middle and rear section of the continuous power burst on the reserve is limited, but usually overtaking or rapid acceleration only need half of the door opening and closing is enough. If there is a higher demand for power to switch to the sport mode, the power output will become more active, the response of the electric gate will be sensitive, and the feeling of pushing back will become stronger when accelerating, but it will only change in the power response, and the steering force will not change accordingly.
In addition to the performance of the power, the advantage of the Polar Star 2 driving tuning is that it is more like a fuel vehicle, fast and linear, rather than suddenly coming, this driving state and the new force brand of those pure electric abrupt acceleration state is significantly different, even if the power recovery is also in the premise of ensuring the smoothness of the vehicle, to say that Volvo is indeed for the polar star 2 tuning wasted thoughts, of course, this is also the difference between the traditional car company and the new new force brand products.
In terms of chassis suspension, this car is by no means a model that is completely inclined to sport, although the background of the Pole Star and the first supercar model launched are such tonalities, but the filter effect of the Pole Star 2 is indeed gentle, even if it is a large bump and undulating such as a speed bump, the transmission of the road sense is not a brain pressure to you, through the performance is relatively clean and clean, but as a pure electric model weight and a certain sports tendency, the vehicle even if the corner of the side of the control is also very decent, so the higher body posture will not have too high center of gravity The ride texture and stability are convincing at this level.
04
0-100km/h acceleration test
The polar star 2 dual motor version of the acceleration to 4.7 seconds is indeed very fast, then the power parameter of the single motor long endurance version is equivalent to 2.0T of fuel, so the acceleration of this car is also counted. The electric car has fully adapted to the waveless start, but with the instantaneous burst of torque, it can be clearly felt that the acceleration is indeed not weak, and from the driver's point of view, the tires provide a good grip when accelerating at full strength, and the power does not show signs of attenuation before reaching 100km/h, and the final acceleration of 0-100km/h is also in line with our expectations.
05
100km/h-0 brake test
The best result in the brake test did surprise us a bit, the car did not have a suspension of 4-piston calipers, but the 100 km mark reached 35.21 meters. It can be seen from the graph that the braking force of the initial stage is very strong, and the subsequent braking force becomes linear, and the compression change of the suspension is not obvious from the body attitude, and the stability of the vehicle without obvious nodding is very good.
06
To last, or to power
Want a stronger power endurance will be affected, the dual motor version of the NEDC comprehensive endurance of 512km, and the single motor long endurance version can reach 565km, from the performance of daily driving even in winter long battery can meet the frequency of three or four days of charging, the average power consumption is about 14-17kwh, if the driving style is aggressive and high-speed will certainly be higher, this level is not low, counting the actual power consumption loss of 565km endurance running a 400 large no problem at all.
07
epilogue
Polar Star 2 is a relatively niche model, very personality to luxury also has its own understanding, the design of the minimalist style does have a mysterious color in it, only if you walk in to get rid of the clouds. The performance of the vehicle in the configuration is the same, the entry is not only the top match does not need to tangle with you and me, more importantly, its performance in driving quality also has the strength to compete with the Tesla Model3, for those who like to find good things, there will be surprises waiting for you to start with Polar Star 2.
