Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages across the 15 EU/EEA countries that registered the Polestar 2 in 2025 (9,947 cars). Source: EEA COβ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).

Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.
