Orders have officially opened for the highly-anticipated Polestar 2 sedan that has been priced from $59,900 before on-roads in Australia.

Buyers can place orders for the Polestar 2 on the brand’s official website, with deliveries expected to begin in February 2022.

Customers will need to pay $500 to reserve a priority allocation of their chosen Polestar 2, with the fee fully refundable if they decide to pull out.

With a line-up of more affordable grades available alongside more premium, AWD-equipped grades the Polestar 2 will go head to head with the Tesla Model 3 sedan and Hyundai Ioniq 5 midsize SUV in Australia.

Test drives available

Polestar, a sibling company of the Swedish Volvo brand, has been offering test drives of its new sedan to customers in Australia at a series of temporary locations.

The pop-up test drive events began in Sydney from mid-November and will soon make an appearance in Melbourne and the Gold Coast in December 2021 and Brisbane in February 2022.

Permanent test drive locations will be established in 2022.
