For now, the aptly named Launch Edition is the only trim available. It’s luxurious enough to fit the price, with tasteful wood trim integrated into sleek Scandinavian design. Vegan fabric is the default upholster, but real leather is available.
A panoramic roof, LED lighting, and 19-inch alloy wheels come standard. Frameless side mirrors are another nice touch. In addition to the impressive infotainment and audio systems, the Launch Edition gets wireless charging and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
To dial up performance even further, check out the Performance Package ($5,000). Included are upgraded dampers, Brembo brakes, 20-inch wheels, and gold seatbelts. Aside from interior and exterior colors, that’s the only choice for buyers to make. Unfortunately, any paint color other than black costs an extra $1,200.

CarsDirect Tip
The Performance Package is tempting for enthusiasts, but the 2021 Polestar 2 is exciting enough in base form. If you can live with the range, it’s a compelling alternative to a Tesla.
