Polestar Australia has confirmed that pricing for the updated Model Year 2026 (MY26) Polestar 2 will remain unchanged, starting from $62,400 (plus on road costs) for Polestar 2 Standard range Single motor.
The MY26 Polestar 2 welcomes a new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip for faster processing, more range and faster charging for the Standard range Single motor variant, new optional features, a new wheel design for Performance pack vehicles, and a new exterior colour.
MY26 Polestar 2 upgrades
Polestar 2 receives a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip, supporting quicker download speeds for in-car apps, faster reaction times within apps and actions, improved centre display responsiveness, and smoother performance across the infotainment system.
Offered as an additional upgrade, Polestar 2 can now be equipped with a 14-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system with a total output of 1350 Watts.
Key features include Tweeter-on-Top technology for improved clarity and accuracy, and Continuum midrange speakers that minimise distortion, delivering a rich audio experience. Design cues incorporate branded detail on the front door panels and stainless-steel mesh on the rear door panels, highlighting the sophisticated audio system in the car.
A new exterior colour, Dune, makes its debut on Polestar 2. This contemporary metallic colour has a smooth mica finish with a sandy hue, and replaces Jupiter.
Externally, a new five-spoke design for the car’s 20-inch forged alloy Performance wheels, the lightest available for Polestar 2 to date, is introduced and available as part of the optional Performance Pack. On the interior, a new bio-attributed MicroTech upholstery in Charcoal with distinctive quilting design and Black Ash deco is available with the optional Plus Pack.
Tint is now applied to rear side windows, in addition to the tailgate window.
The Polestar 2 welcomes a battery update for the Standard range Single motor, in the form of a 70 kWh battery from CATL, in contrast to the previous 69 kWh LG Chem battery.
This variant now has an improved range of up to 554 km (WLTP), up from 546 km, as well as faster charging offering 180kW DC, up from 135kW DC, with charging from 10 percent to 80percent in just 26 minutes.
Polestar 2 Long range Dual motor with Performance pack is now exclusively available with the Plus pack. Removed for MY25, the Harman/Kardon 600W, 13-speaker sound system has been returned to the Plus pack.
Pro pack vehicles will be delivered exclusively with the Graphite finish 20-inch alloy wheels.
All Polestar vehicles come with a comprehensive five-year vehicle warranty, complimentary roadside assist, and five years of scheduled servicing.
