Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Polestar 2.
The 2024 Polestar 2 is an electric vehicle in Polestar's lineup, and while the model's complaint history spans 2021 through 2025, this particular year sits in a relatively calm stretch with just 23 owner complaints against it — a far cry from the 302 logged against the 2022 model year. Its top complaint area centers on Back Over Prevention, and the five recalls attached to this year suggest that while the worst of the model's early-life troubles have largely passed, the 2024 still carries a meaningful share of safety-related scrutiny. With the 2025 model down to a single complaint, the trajectory appears to be improving, though the 2024's recall count indicates the platform's maturation was still very much a work in progress at this point in the cycle.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The Polestar 2's federal record illustrates a clear maturation arc, with complaints spiking at 302 in 2022 before sharply declining to 114 in 2023 and just 23 in the 2024 target year. Positioned at the nadir of this downward complaint trend—excluding the nascent 2025 model year with only 1 complaint—the 2024 model suggests earlier generation issues have been largely resolved, though it still matches the generation's highest recall count of 5 alongside 2021. The 23 complaints for 2024 are primarily concentrated in Back Over Prevention (9) and Tires (3), alongside minor Visibility concerns, with only 1 crash complaint and zero fire complaints; however, the data does not specify the root causes for these issues. Given the dramatic drop in complaint volume and technical service bulletins (down to 82 from 180 in 2021), the 2024 Polestar 2 represents a statistically improved late-generation iteration and stands as a solid, well-sorted year to buy used.
