Switch to rear-drive hardly transformational - but MY24 car is noticeably improved regardless.
Polestar makes for an interesting bellwether when it comes to electric car sales in the UK. If you’re a clued-up business user, you’ll probably be well aware of its burgeoning presence in this country, not to mention the pros and cons of the single model it currently sells. If you’re not, you might have a tough time picking it out of a crowd.
Underneath though, it’s much changed. Not only has Polestar fitted the MY24 car with a combination of next-generation electric motors and inverters, it has also opted to transition from front- to rear-wheel drive in the case of the more affordable single-motor derivatives. If that sounds vaguely familiar it’s because the same switch-up has already occurred in, a model that shares the CMA platform.
Being rear-wheel drive is a much more subtle improvement. The previous model didn’t have the sort of output that would seriously impair the steering - and while it’s now free of any corrupting influence, it’s not the liveliest rack in any case. The sense of balance isn’t significantly different either because while there must’ve been some shift away from the nose, the rear-mounted motor weighs a whole heap less than the floor-spanning battery.
