Polestar has announced pricing for the 2024 incarnation of the high-riding pseudo-sedan it calls the Polestar 2, and it’s predictably more expensive than last year’s model. That’s pretty much par for the course in the car business. The difference is, it’s , which is rarer to see.

The base Polestar 2 — the single-motor, long-range version — before a $1,400 destination charge. That’s $1,500 higher than the 2023 model year. However, it also has 68 more horsepower thanks to a new motor and can go 50 miles further when fully juiced up, thanks to a larger battery. I’d reckon that’s worth a $1,500 premium.

Those aren’t the only enhancements to the line. The dual-motor Polestar 2 has also seen a modest bump in power from 402 hp to 421 hp, as well as a new 276-mile EPA-estimated range. That’s 16 miles better than last year’s. This variant now starts at $55,300, again before destination, making for a $3,400 rise.

Polestar is continuing to offer Plus and Performance packs for the fastback. The former adds luxuries like a Harman Kardon sound system, panoramic moonroof and rear heated seats for a newly reduced price of $2,200; while the latter grants the electric sedan Brembo brakes, Öhlins adaptive dampers and 34 more horsepower, shaving two-tenths of a second off the car’s 4.3-second 0-60 mph dash. Both optional add-ons are only available for the dual-motor Polestar 2.

Interestingly, with the new motor comes a change in drivetrain for the base model. The entry-level Polestar 2 is now rear-wheel drive, when it used to be front-wheel drive. That swap plus the added power should make the EV a little livelier behind the wheel — though this is a 4,400-pound machine after all, so it’s wise to keep those expectations in check.

Toss in a wealth of new active features for the dual-motor plus faster 205 kW DC charging for the single-motor, and the Polestar 2, which , now merits even further consideration. The extended Volvo family’s been good at .
