POLESTAR 2

Having recently upgraded TG’s dual motor P2 to 469bhp (350kW) and 502lb ft via over-the-air witchcraft, we also saw a decent increase in real-world range when not booting the bejeesus out of it. Hence trying the single motor, front-wheel drive, 228bhp longranger. Now this car indicates a 336-mile WLTP range and 0–62mph in the mid-sevens. We found it to produce 30 miles of range more than the dual motor (some 270, very useful) and be perfectly acceptable in terms of speed. But it’s not half as much fun... TF
