Currently reading: Subs exclusive: Polestar customers not deterred by price hike
Firm's UK head says price increase hasn't turned buyers away from the Polestar 2 electric fastback

Orders for the Polestar 2 haven't so far been affected by a price hike that took effect at the beginning of July, Polestar UK head Jonathan Goodman said.

The entry price of the 2 rose to £43,150 for the Standard Range Single Motor model, up from £41,900. The same car cost £39,900 when the full 2 line-up was launched in 2021, representing an 8% increase in a year.

“We’re still seeing a very, very strong order take since the start of July, and those people are paying the new price, so there's no reason to see demand declining,” Goodman told Autocar.

Car makers across the spectrum are pushing up prices as they pass on a rise in the cost of raw materials to customers.
