Points to note
Operation runs largely via the central screen; physical buttons for climate are absent. The rear bench has limited headroom for tall passengers (recurring owner point). The boot is fastback-style, the rear window is part of the tailgate. The Polestar 2 is built in China; check import duty rules for your market.
