ES1- Polestar 2 78kW - or similar

A premium Swedish-designed electric vehicle

Today, electric vehicles (EV) come in all shapes and sizes. The Polestar 2 is a standard-sized family hatchback. Yet it’s far from standard in any other respect.

Polestar is a brand of Volvo, the Swedish car manufacturer. As such, the Polestar 2 is a sleekly designed, premium-feeling EV that’s a real pleasure to drive. It’s also superbly spacious and comfortable inside.

Plus, the Polestar comes with a battery range of about 400 miles (650 km). In Iceland, that means it can take you around the Ring Road in little more than two full charges. That makes it a really reliable hire car, as well as a stylish and practical one too.

One thing to note is that, as it’s an EV, you won’t be able to drive the Polestar 2 in the highlands. For that, you’ll need a 4x4 SUV.

What features can you expect from a Polestar 2?

The Polestar 2 is a five-door, five-seater family hatchback. There’s plenty of room in the back for luggage too.

Like any EV, it’s an automatic, and it doesn’t require petrol or diesel. Instead, it’s entirely emissions-free, as it runs on electric power.

Alongside the standard features, the Polestar 2 has the following:

• A Bluetooth connection
• Heated front seats
• Air conditioning
• Power windows
• Adjustable power steering
• Remote locking
• Anti-lock brakes.

Who can hire a Polestar 2 ?

With its five seats and ample storage space, the Polestar 2 is designed for families. However, there’s nothing stopping solo travellers and couples from benefiting from its smooth ride and long battery range too.

To hire a Polestar 2, you need to be at least 20 years old. You will also need:

• A valid driving licence, which you’ve had for at least a year.
• A passport, to prove your ID.
• A credit card that’s valid for at least the period of rental.

We recommend that you secure your rental vehicle in advance. During peak seasons such as the summer, cars can all be booked up. Book now to avoid disappointment.
