The Polestar 2 arrives in Spain and will be cheaper than the Tesla Model 3

The Polestar 2 has arrived in Spain. After many months of waiting, the alternative and most direct rival to the Tesla Model 3 has landed in our country. The Polestar 2 is a fully electric saloon developed by Polestar, the sub-brand of Volvo. This can be seen in its design, as it shares elements with the Swedish brand.

The Polestar 2 is also cheaper than the Tesla Model 3. It has a starting price of 46,900 euros, which makes it a real alternative to Elon Musk’s affordable model. The arrival of the Polestar 2 in Spain is great news, as we have been waiting for it since its launch. If you are looking for an electric saloon, you have found it. It features all the technology and experience of Volvo, one of the safest brands on the market.

We cannot forget that the Polestar 2 is a model with a great deal of personality. Its interiors are spacious and of very high quality. Its level of equipment is outstanding, and its infotainment system stands out and, of course, its driver assistance systems.
