Introducing the Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 is widely regarded as one of the most complete electric cars on the market. Its slick, minimalist design is like something from the future. Its ability to deliver powerful performance while remaining true to the companies roots in sustainability – makes it unique.
It’s for these reasons and more, that as recently as April 2022, Hertz committed to buying 65,000 Polestar EVs between 2022 and 2027.
We’ve taken a deep dive into the distinctive features that this car offers, so you can discover exactly what you’re getting when you hire a Polestar 2 from us.
CONVENIENCE AND COMFORT
Packed with innovative features, the Polestar 2 has everything you need for a smooth ride.
When there’s more than one driver, constantly having to adjust your seat, mirrors and other settings can become a chore. The Polestar 2 remembers your preferences on your personal profile and makes those adjustments for you.
Several types of adjustable lighting are equipped in the Polestar passenger compartments for the comfort of the driver and passengers. These include reading lights, programmable courtesy lights and footwell lighting.
The power-operated boot lid on the Polestar 2 has hands-free opening for those times when your hands are full. Just wave your foot under the back bumper with the key in range to open or close the boot.
Clever tech at your fingertips
The Polestar 2’s 255-watt, eight-speaker audio system can be adjusted from the right-hand steering wheel keypad, or via Google Assistant using voice command.
There are four USB-C ports in the Polestar 2 – two in the front and two in the back. With the optional Plus Pack, you can also add a wireless charging pad under the centre display.
Controlling your journey while on the road with Polestar is simple. The steering wheel and dual stalks have a wide range of functions within easy reach, from cruise control and windscreen wipers to the volume of your music.
Energy-efficient LED lights, designed in a unique light-blade and origami-inspired design, are instantly recognisable as Polestar. These smart lights, using a sensor hidden in the windscreen to detect other cars’ headlights or rear lights, automatically adjust their brightness between high or low beam to avoid dazzling other drivers.
Practical features for stress-free trips
The Polestar 2 has 405 litres of rear luggage space, growing up to 1,095 litres with the seats down and shelf removed. But the best bit? It has to be the extra 35 litres you get under the hood in the front boot. You’ll also find tire-sealing equipment and tools stored here.
Move the headlight stalk – to the left of the steering wheel – forward and release to activate the Home Safe Lighting feature – it’ll keep the external lights on to help you find your way to your door. You can set the duration with the centre display.

The Polestar 2 uses frameless mirrors for maximum visibility and improved aerodynamics. Smart adjustment features mean you can dim bright reflections at night, tilt your mirrors or fold them in at the touch of a button. They also look smart.
