Polestar 1 is not OK, Polestar Polar Star 2 is OK? There is only one answer, no.
Polestar 2 doesn't work, the new Polestar 2 does? There is still only one answer, no.
Why? Because, the new Polestar 2 is still uncompetitive.
unbelief? Let's see!
Recently, Polestar Polestar, a high-end pure electric vehicle brand jointly created by Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars, officially released the new Polestar 2. It is reported that the new car is basically consistent with the current model in terms of appearance and interior, but it has been adjusted in the details. Specifically, the battery capacity of the single-motor standard endurance version has increased from 61 kWh to 69 kWh, the WLTP standard endurance has increased from 439 km to 474 km, the DC charging power has increased from 116 kW to 130 kW, and the front-drive motor power has increased from 165 kW to 170 kW. The heat pump air conditioner provided in the Plus Pack option package operates at temperatures ranging from -7°C to 25°C, improving efficiency in cold weather. But to be honest, even so, this car cannot compete with its opponents at home.
To be honest, many people are not familiar with the estimated PoleStar 2, and now they have launched a new Polar Star 2, I don't know how much splash can be stirred? On the brand power, as volvo's electric vehicle brand, PoleStar should be completely inferior to Weilai, Xiaopeng and even BYD, which are independent electric vehicle brands, but why is PoleStar 2 not welcomed by consumers?
In terms of price, the price of 25.78 to 33.80 million is not cheap, and the same price can fully consider BYD Han, Xiaopeng P7 and even Tesla Model 3. For example, the price of the BYD Han EV Genesis Edition is 269,880-288,600, the Price of the Xiaopeng P7 is 27.29-34.99 million, and the price of the Model 3 is 279,900-36.79 million. From the perspective of price, the price of several cars is considered to be the same level of models. But compared to BYD Han, Xiaopeng P7 and Tesla Model 3, Polestar Polar star 2 does not have enough outstanding product power to win consumers.
Although polar star 2 focuses on performance, in fact, the three-electric system it uses is not even the popular "three-in-one" layout, but the drive motor and the motor are separated, and the integration and lightweight are more investigated. Looking at the specific data, the maximum power of the Polestar 2 front-drive and four-wheel drive version is 170kW and 300kW, the maximum torque is 330N·m and 660N·m, and the acceleration performance of 100 km/h is 7.4s and 4.7s, respectively. Although the latter is better than many traditional fuel models, there is still a certain gap compared with the four-wheel drive version of han EV and Model 3 models.
In terms of battery life, Polar star 2 is also not dominant, and the three models are equipped with ternary batteries, of which the maximum mileage of Xiaopeng P7NEDC is 706km, the mileage of BYD Han Genesis Edition is up to 715km, and the highest endurance of Tesla Model 3 is 675km. Look at the Polar Star 2, which is 485km, 565km and 512km respectively, which is above the industry average overall, enough to meet daily use, but slightly behind models such as Han EV and Xiaopeng P7.
In addition, the frequent occurrence of quality problems has also put Polestar in a deep dilemma. Public information shows that Polestar 2 has been recalled in China for two consecutive times due to safety hazards after delivery, of which 110 vehicles were recalled in October 2020 and 551 vehicles were recalled in November 2020. In addition, in October last year, Polestar officially announced that it would recall 7736 Polestar 2s worldwide due to inverter failure and high-pressure coolant heater failure.
As a performance-oriented product, the polar star 2 does not stimulate any adrenaline inside and outside, and it seems a little too dull. Coupled with the fact that the price of the product is not low, the product itself has also had great problems, and the marketing and competition of the domestic model of the same level that have not been touched so far, the new Polestar Polar 2 wants to make a difference, which can be said to be very difficult.
So, the new Polestar Polar 2 is still not working!
unbelief? Then wait and see!
