Polestar 2 review:.

Are you somebody who does not like to follow the crowd? Do you zig when others zag? If that sounds like you, do not click away since THIS might be the contrast test for you. If you're looking for a family-size electrical saloon or hatchback, there's one really apparent prospect, isn't there? It begins with a T, ends in a 3 and has 'eslamodel' in the middle.

If you do not want to follow the crowd and desire something that's a bit more … private, what should you pick? Well, that's precisely what we're going to find out in this video, since we have three fantastic alternatives to the that will combat it out for supremacy.

Contender one is the most recent kid on the block – the Volkswagen ID.7. It starts from simply over ₤ 50,000 for entry-level 77kWh design and VW states will have a 383 mile range. Cars and truck two is the BYD Seal. It got here late in 2015 and wowed us all here at Electrifying. It proved more than a match for the when we checked them back to back and for sheer value for cash it's hard to beat. We tested the four-wheel drive Quality model that costs ₤ 48,695 and includes every you can possibly imagine additional.

Lastly, we have the Polestar 2. Yes, it's technically the old woman of the group, but it was dealt with to a significant revamp last year and stays a terrific plan. Here we check the single motor, long range variation which will set you back ₤ 48,950.

Join Ginny, Nicola and Nicki as they pitch our three competitors head to head for the first time. Does the ID.7 deliver the efficiency that Volkswagen has promised? Can the BYD keep its crown as the best all-rounder in the sector?

    Do wonder what that Polestar is doing there in the lineup? Don’t really see any valid reason? Why not an Ioniq6 BMW I4 or a Kia EV6?

    I get the design point of view, but the interior space in the Polestar is really two sizes smaller. Complicated comparison .

      The ioniq 6 should have been in this test but the polestar can stay. The EV is a suv/estate hybrid and the i4 is a lot more expensive

    The Volkswagen ID.7 is like the perfect mix of great EV values. If you consider that a bigger 86kWh net battery is upcoming, which also increases the charging power to 200kW, then you have the best mid-size sedan on the market, better specs than a BMW i5. And it will also be available as a station wagon/estate car.

    Love our PS2 LRSM 82kw. Well built. Handles superbly. Does an average 3-3.3 kw/mile so not the best but most of our trips are inside the overall range. Google interface is brilliant. Did not like the Tesla or the VW. Would consider a BYD Seal. Let’s see how they perform and don’t fall apart in next 5 years. I expect the Chinese will have got the quality sorted….

    The ID7 isn’t the most expensive anymore, VW have seen the error of their ways and added equipment and brought the price down.

      VW group is in panic mode, they cannot compete with Chinese and American native EV makers. The debt legacy, workforce skills changes and manufacturing lines reshuffles, which costs a lot of money, especially when you have debts up to the ceiling. VW is a car company that uses software, the others are software companies that make cars, can you guess who will struggle to survive?

    Great and informativ video Lady’s. Thank you so much.
    Help me …. which electric car should an old man of 58 years with two artificial hips, and thus not as mobile as others choose? I myself will probably look in the direction of an SUV, as it is probably a little easier to get in and out of. Give me some good suggestions, because if anyone can, it must be someone from this amazing YouTube channel. Many greetings from “old man in Denmark”.

    The BYD Han would be a more suitable competitor, although not sure if it will come to the UK?!

    I love my Polestar 2 RWD refresh very very much – it’s a roadtrip machine and built for sheer driving pleasure, plus it has the best mapping and infotainment. I love the design and quality. It’s well suited a single bloke and his dog looking to conquer the long roads of Australia! Both the other cars are excellent though, and I’d take any other EV over a Model T.

    I do love the look of the Polestar but it’s too cramped and they appear to have missed my home city out of their dealer network. The pilot pack should be standard I can’t warm to the BYD, it is over styled and the boot is too small. The ID7 is enormous and bland. No heat pump and those haptic buttons in the steering wheel that made no sense on the Golf and still annoy. Would is ride so well on normal dampers. I would take a Model 3 Standard range. At £39,995 it is more efficient than any of these and is all I would need. It has a glass roof, heat pump and adaptive cruise.

    Appreciate the mention of ID7’s prominent placement of efficiency on HUD. 2.8 miles/kWh isn’t great.
    If you’re getting 2.8 in that car, and I’m averaging 4.0 (lifetime) with our BMW i4, I’m seeing a massive disparity.

    Put another way, if an ICE VW sedan got 28 mph, and a BMW got 40 mpg, you’d be really surprised and would rave about it. I feel like most people are lazy about exchanging fake WLTP range specs (Tesla) or large batteries for actual real efficiency.

    Id.7 fastest at adding miles per minute charging, BYD significantly slower, P:olestar 2 the slowest. It’s a function of efficiency and charging kwh

    With these new car companies, even the pole Starr, I think it would be worth doing a review of presale, post sale, and maintenance to see how well they do.

    Some folks have said that BYD does well in Australia as far as maintenance and customer service, they apparently do have locations in that country. But I’m not just talking about that, as an example, here in the states, if you have a problem with the Tesla, the likelihood is you’re spending $10,000 or more to repair it. Now we understand that electric cars are far less likely to break down than gas cars, which is a great benefit. But if you watch a channel like Rich rebuilds or Louis Rossman, you’ll know that very small problems in a Tesla can cause very large replacement costs for repair. A single cable can end up requiring replacement of the entire battery pack as an example. And heaven forbid you get into an accident.

    Now a lot of modern cars of every drive train are expensive to repair because of the lack of standardize headlights and parts. And the integration of batteries into the frame can also make it more difficult to repair such cars. But it’s one thing to have that problem with Tesla, is it the same, better, or worse with a company that’s based in China?

    I don’t want to put it all on China, because as I say, Tesla is not doing very well in this respect. But I think that part of long-term ownership is an important aspect of the actual cost of all his cars.

    I drive a 2016 Fiat 500 E, I was in a fender bender accident, and the repair was listed at US$14,000. The value of the car was only $16,000, so it was considered totaled. I had to keep the car with salvage title even though it’s working perfectly well. the Fiat dealership tested the battery and confirmed that there’s nothing wrong with it. It is just superficial damage. That is not because it’s an electric car, the gas would’ve had the same problem, and in fact I suspect that the battery helped keep the car intact because of the additional weight. but I did have an unrelated issue with the charge cable of that car, and not even the Fiat dealership was able to confidently tell me what was wrong with it. They did end up replacing that cable which seems to have the issue, that cost $1400 plus several weeks being without the car during which I had to rent a car which cost me about $800. And so,That kind of thing is important to know as well. If you have a problem, how much is it going to cost you to take care of it? And how likely are you to have a knowledgeable technician who can diagnose the problem confidently, and then tell you what is needed?

    The BYD Seal does actually have wireless Android Auto, but Car Play is wired. That’s what the dealer said when I went for a test drive in one.
