2026 Polestar 2

Polestar 2 is the brand's electric fastback/hatch for buyers who want a Volvo-adjacent EV without Tesla ownership patterns. Trade-offs: smaller US dealer footprint than mass-market EVs; wheel/motor choice moves efficiency.

What's confirmed (EPA — nearest year 2025)

2026 Polestar 2 EPA rows were not listed on fueleconomy.gov at research time. Nearest published 2025 rows:

• Single Motor 19-inch: 114 MPGe combined (123 city / 104 highway)
• Single Motor 20-inch: 109 MPGe combined (117/101)

Do not treat 2025 MPGe as a 2026 rating until EPA lists 2026 Polestar 2.
