Geely-backed Polestar has announced on Thursday that the pricing for the refreshed version of its Polestar 2 sedan in Australia will remain the same as the previous iteration.
The entry-level version of the model — standard range, single motor — is priced at AU$62,400, equivalent to $40,500.
The 2026 version will feature a 70 kWh battery pack from the world’s largest battery maker CATL. The 2025 model year was equipeed with a 69 kWh battery from LG.
It can reach up to 554 km of WLTP range (up from 546 km) and reaches faster charging, at 180 kW DC (up from 135 kW DC). It can charge from 10 yo 80% in 26 minutes, according to the brand.
Customers can also opt for Long Range variants, starting at AU$66,400 with a single motor, or AU$71,400 with a dual motor. A Performance version is also available from AU$85,080.
The Polestar 2 is built at Geely’s Luqiao factory in Zhejiang since 2020 and then shipped to the country, while the Polestar 3, the company’s most expensive model, is produced both in Chengdu, China, and in Volvo’s South Carolina plant in the US.
In Australia, the SUV is priced from AU$118,420, equivalent to $76,880.
The Polestar 4, assembled in Hangzhou Bay, China, is priced from AU$78,500.
The brand is offering a $5,000 contribution toward the purchased of any inventory unit of the SUV, purchased until September 30 and delivered by October 31.
According to the brand’s website, if you order a customized the vehicle, the estimated delivery time is in December 2025—January 2026.
In June, Polestar said that production for the model was planned to start in Busan, South Korea “this summer, with first customer deliveries expected in the Fall of 2025.”
However, the brand only specifically mentioned the North American market in that statement — as it was re-opening orders for the model in the US.
Last week, the Sweden-headquartered carmaker opened a new test drive and delivery centre in Canberra, Australia, as part of the strategy shift announced earlier this year to sell through local dealerships.
“Five new locations have been added to the Polestar Australia network since January 2025, expanding the brand’s reach into South Australia, regional Victoria, and western Sydney,” the company stated.
Polestar also has “an expanded network of 19 Polestar Service Points to manage maintenance and accessories” in the island.
The company stated it is “on track” to increase the number of its retail spaces by 75% before the end of 2026.
