In recent years, the budget of less than 300,000 people want to buy pure electric cars more and more users, Xiaopeng P7, Tesla Model 3 and BYD Han EV appeared to make this market quite active, and these three not cheap electric vehicles have all entered the monthly sales club. Therefore, basically when someone buys a car in this budget, I will habitually analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these three cars, and even make a special comparison of three cars.
But recently a friend came to me and said that he still has a budget of less than 300,000 yuan, but Tesla has recently heard too many rumors, affecting interest; BYD Han EV and Xiaopeng P7 are often available in his city's car, and also a little mindful; ask me if I have other options with sufficient brand tone and strong product strength.
He asked me this time and found that I have been ignoring a brand power and product power is not inferior to the product - Polar Star 2, this car should be put into the inspection list at the beginning of the car selection, this issue of the car selection cannon to analyze this car selection problem.
What is the overall design of the Polestar 2?
On the 300,000-class model, brand power is an important factor in decision-making. The Polestar brand originated from Volvo's performance series Polestar, and gradually evolved into a luxury brand that only makes new energy vehicles. With the accumulation of the Volvo brand endorsement, and has always had the pursuit of manipulation, at the brand level, Polar Star can be said to be a luxury plus performance double blessing. In contrast, the current hot-selling models of the same level have never been so broad.
Product level. The overall design style of Polar Star 2 still adheres to the "Nordic style", and walks in a simple style. Even some "traditional", such as the upper and lower layered design of the front face, also retains a grille-like design style, and the lines on the sides are also very simple, without particularly exaggerated lines.
But Polar Star 2 has its own design features. For example, this car looks like a standard sedan, but when you open the tail compartment, you will find that the Polestar 2 has adopted a hatchback design style.
For example, the Polar Star 2 does not look like the more popular hidden door handle on the side, but the rearview mirror adopts a one-piece borderless design style, which surprises you in unexpected places.
Polar Star 2 looks like a car, but in fact, there are some cross-border styles, seemingly pursuing a simple design, but a closer look found that the personality of this car is unique and has its own tonality. This is the design logic of Polar Star 2, and it is more appropriate to borrow an advertising phrase to describe it: simple but not simple.
What is the core technology of Polestar 2?
Polar star 2 is essentially a product built by relying on the accumulation of geely Volvo's technology, so many core technologies will have a lot of geely Volvo's architecture support. For example, Polar Star 2 is built from the CMA platform, and Polar Star 2 also has its own understanding of performance and security.
Polestar 2 is available in a variety of battery life versions. The introductory model adopts a single motor, divided into standard endurance and long endurance versions, the standard version NEDC has a battery life of 485km, a long endurance of 565km, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h in these two versions is 7.4 seconds. Admittedly, the indices of these two versions are relatively flat, but considering the starting price of 257,800 yuan plus a certain concession, it is still attractive to users who value the tonality of the Polar Star 2 brand but do not have so high power requirements.
True to the pursuit of performance, PoleStar 2 can continue to provide advanced gameplay. In the early 300,000s, you can buy a dual-motor long-endurance version, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 4.7 seconds. Well, just looking at data Polestar 2 doesn't seem like an advantage. But Polestar 2's more than 2 years of track experience gives this car a higher level of pursuit in driving control; optional performance tires, brakes and professional suspension, and the Polestar 2 is one of the best electric vehicles to drive at the same price.
Safety is a feature of Volvo, as well as a feature of Polestar. After the engine is omitted, a front trunk is left under the front cover of the Polestar 2, but it does not absorb energy. The Polestar 2 is designed with a lower load path just below the nose to absorb energy in a frontal collision. In addition, Polar star 2 adds "SPOC module" on the side to reduce the deformation of the body in the event of side collision, which can not only reduce the damage of the occupants in the car but also prevent damage to the battery pack.
Polestar 2's 100-kilometer acceleration is not the fastest, but the comprehensive control feeling is unique in the same level of electric vehicles, and it also inherits Volvo's "nitpicking" in safety, and these qualities can still attract loyal fans.
What are the product features of Polar Star 2?
The performance and styling of Polar Star 2 does have its own style, but the interior design and materials of Pole Star 2 may be more able to convey its product characteristics and propositions.
First of all, the interior design of the Pole Star 2 is not luxurious at first glance or a closer look, the whole car has not seen any shiny decorative parts, and there is no leather product in the car.
The core pursuit of the interior of the PoleStar 2 is environmental protection and health. The material of its seat is from Weave Tech, which is generally used in professional wetsuits, the advantage is skin-friendly, good touch, and waterproof and durable, the key is light enough, of course, relatively breathable will be some sacrifice. Overall easy to use and eco-friendly.
In addition to the seat, all the materials used in the interior of the Polar Star 2 are imitation leather fabrics without animal components, the visual effect of these fabrics is relatively elegant, the advantage is that all the materials are more skin-friendly, the overall content of heavy metal harmful substances is lower, in addition to being more environmentally friendly, it is also more suitable for mothers and babies.
In fact, when we look back at the interior design of the Polestar 2, why is it not another kind of avant-garde? For example, the large screen of the central control uses the native Android system, which is extremely smooth; the hollow shape of the gear lever is actually quite chic, plus the North Star LOGO seen by looking up, polar star 2 also has its own romance.
Some people may say that there is a gap between the sales of the Polestar 2 and the Xiaopeng P7 and Tesla Model 3, but the sales gap is superimposed by a variety of factors, and it is not the gap in product strength. Compared with the current hot-selling models of the same price on the market, the PoleStar 2 has no disadvantages in terms of brand power and product strength, and even because of its unique pursuit, this car is still unique. Polar star 2 has made a good integration of the advantages of fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles, and created a good and environmentally friendly electric vehicle, is such a car the most suitable choice for friends?
