This family hatchback EV packs a 78kWh battery and dual electric motors, good for over 400hp and 660Nm of torque, but is it also fun to drive this Tesla Model 3 competitor?

In this review, I discuss both the exterior and interior of the Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor with Performance Package (+ every other option package available). I also cover Google Android Automotive OS, Google Home, Google Assistant, Google Maps and what is possible with the Google integration of this car in detail.
