Author: Gary WhiteIt can be said that the Polestar 2 is a powerful electric vehicle which meets the highest technical standards. The Polestar 2 is characterized by its driver-oriented design and ergonomic focus. For the newly created performance brand in the Volvo family, Polestar means more than just pure engine power, it is above all about ensuring that the vehicle fits seamlessly into the modern lifestyle. This philosophy was taken into account from the start, which is also reflected in the practical trailer load and easy access to the rear cargo area.
For many the Polestar 2 leads the compact electric vehicle class. It is able to cope with a braked trailer load of up to 1,500 kg. The additional option of an electric folding trailer coupling offers the Polestar 2 driver unparalleled flexibility. As of today, only the Tesla Model X with a maximum trailer load of 2,250 kg and the Audi e-tron with 1,800 kg perform better.

The hatchback design with a wide-opening tailgate makes the rear boot space particularly easy to access. An optional roof rack offers an additional load of 75kg. With all of these upgrades, the Polestar 2 will truly become a load donkey among e-cars.

Is the Polestar 2 a Good Tow Car?
It can be said that the Polestar 2 is a high-performance hatchback electric vehicle that meets the highest technical standards; it is also characterized by its driver-oriented focus. For the newly created performance brand , Polestar means more than just engine performance, it is also about the vehicle fitting seamlessly into modern lifestyles. This philosophy was taken into account from the start, which is also reflected in the practical towing capacity and easy access to the rear cargo area."The Polestar 2 is a high-performance electric hatchback that is ideal for an active lifestyle. It adapts to individual needs and is very flexible. We know our customers appreciate this flexibility - and what is particularly relevant for tomorrow's electric car buyers is a vehicle that clearly does not need to be compromised." – Thomas Ingenlath, Chief Executive Officer of Polestar.
It was only a few years ago that finding a electric car with a trailer hitch was extremely rare. However it has always been know that e-cars would definitely be great tow cars. All the manufacturers needed to do was meet the relevant requirements: sufficient power, a chassis designed for it and the right, powerful drive system. The Polestar 2 meets these challenges.
As a result, the Polestar 2 can tow a braked trailer load of 1500 kg and positions itself as a leader in the class of compact electric vehicles. The additional option of a folding electric towbar offers the Polestar 2 driver unparalleled flexibility. As of today, only the Tesla Model X with a maximum trailer load of 2250kg and the Audi e-tron with 1800kg can tow more.
The al-electric vehicle offers a total cargo space of 440 liters, consisting of a rear trunk of 405 litres and an additional front cargo area of ​​35 liters. The hatchback design with a wide-opening tailgate makes the rear cargo area particularly easy to access. An optional roof rack offers an additional load capacity of 75 kg. With all these upgrades, the Polestar 2 truly becomes the pack donkey among e-cars.
