Polestar 2, the main model of Polestar Korea, is making a splash. The main character is a new trim that starts at 43.9 million won. When the government failed to meet the standards for government subsidies, it paid 4 million won in subsidies on its own, attracting attention with an exceptional amount of 39.9 million won in actual purchases, and once the purchase-related website was down.

The topical trim is a new standard range single motor introduced through a 25-year-old model. LG Energy Solution's 69kWh lithium-ion battery is applied. Although the battery capacity decreased by 11 percent compared to the long range, the tolerance weight, which became 5 percent lighter, certified 409 kilometers of driving distance when charging outside of the vehicle, which exceeded 400 kilometers.

Motor output is also improved, with a maximum output of 272 horsepower and a maximum torque of 59 kg.m. Due to the lighter tolerance weight, the zero-back is 6.4 seconds, which is only 0.2 seconds apart from the long-range single-motor model.




Important mileage in electric vehicles is not much different from long-range single motors, and acceleration performance is also observed The price was 11 million won, which attracted great attention.

For your information, the Polestar 2 Standard Range is not subsidized by the government for electric vehicles. It was subject to non-payment of subsidies because it did not submit a commitment to development of SOC technology to slow chargers (ACs). In response, Polestar Korea is conducting promotional marketing that provides 4 million won in self-subsidized subsidies. It is necessary to confirm that no additional government subsidies for electric vehicles are paid.

Moreover, the actual purchase price is 39.9 million won due to the payment of 4 million won in self-subsidies. This price range is similar to or rather cheaper than the domestic electric compact SUV Hyundai Kona and Kia EV3. If you put some options in these vehicles, the actual purchase price will exceed 40 million won. I actually visited the Polestar website to see if it could be purchased at this price.




Polstar, like Tesla, can only be purchased online through its website. In the case of the standard range single motor model, it provides a low price for yarn and adds a condition of limiting 300 units to induce a quick psychological choice. However, when I conducted 'buy' on the website, I saw a difference from the promotion.

Polestar 2 comes in a variety of options. Option prices are also tied up in a package, and the price range is high. The 25-year Polestar 2 can only be purchased through the quick release menu.

In other words, only vehicles imported by Polestar Korea by combining options can be purchased. As of the first day of visiting the website, only models that selected the option composition of 52.1 million won were available. Even if you receive your own subsidy of 4 million won, the actual purchase price is 48.1 million won.




In the end, a simulation of purchasing Polestar 2 was conducted, driven by the purchase price of 39.9 million won, but the actual purchase price was 48.1 million won, which was 8.2 million won higher. Of course, it is not a big problem because the options are added accordingly.

If you were planning to choose pilot packs, Napa leather seats with ventilation seats, etc. in the first place, that's not a problem at all. However, the problem is that as the price range increases, other competing vehicles will also come into view. This is because Tesla Model 3 and Model Y can also be selected in the late 40 million won and early 50 million won prices.

After visiting the Polestar website several times, the basic trim of 43.9 million won was not available. The 48.1 million won composition was the cheapest model to purchase. In the end, the minimum purchase price of the yarn is 44.1 million won.

If you consider the option composition, it seems good to choose a pilot pack of 1.2 million won and a plus package of 3 million won. This is because the plus package includes a number of preferred options such as electric seats and electric trunks.

However, it is regrettable that Polestar 2, whose purchase price was 39.9 million won reported through various media, was ultimately intended for bait.Since Polestar 2 itself has good marketability, satisfaction will be high even if it is purchased at a price in the mid-40 million won range.

In addition, the 43.9 million won price marketing was enough to arouse the interest of many consumers.If you are interested in purchasing an electric vehicle, Polestar 2 Standard Range recommends an option configuration in the mid-40 million won range. In addition, if the composition is around 50 million won, it is recommended to carefully compare it with a competitive model in a similar price range.
