The Polestar 2 made the top ten list of most popular vehicles in Germany in 2022. The vehicle is taking the auto industry storm. Also, the vehicle top list of the most popular car last year.
In 2022, the largest fleet management service company, LeasePlan, reported that the Polestar 2 emerged as the most favored company car in Germany. This first-ever fully electric vehicle from Polestar outperformed its competitors, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range and Model Y Long Range, claiming the first and second positions with their different versions. The Polestar 2 AWD long-range variant emerged as the most preferred choice, followed by the FWD version, which has now been upgraded to RWD. Impressively, the Polestar 2 secured a position among the top ten most popular company cars in Germany, posing a potential challenge to Volkswagen and Ford’s dominant spots.
Christopher Schmidt, commercial director at LeasePlan Germany, said, “In the future, stronger incentives for electric cars must be created so that more and more drivers in companies can switch to electric drive and we can make the entire top 10 list greener.” Meanwhile, even without more incentives, the Polestar 2 continues gaining ground in a competitive region. Polestar first revealed the Polestar 2 in February 2019, a premium fully electric performance fastback destined to compete with the Tesla Model 3. The EV was initially launched in mid-2020 in Polestar’s original markets, including Norway, Sweden, Germany, UK, and Belgium, growing to become one of the most popular EVs in many of those regions since then.

The new model also features more powerful motors, which provide a smoother and more responsive driving experience. Additionally, the introduction of rear-wheel drive provides improved traction and handling, making the Polestar 2 even more enjoyable to drive.
Perhaps one of the most exciting upgrades is the introduction of the Polestar SmartZone.
