WE VALUE WHAT WE OWN
2022 Polestar 2 From the frameless mirrors to the LED headlights and panoramic glass roof, the Polestar 2 is a vehicle that makes a clean break from bland tradition. Polestar is raising the bar of newness up a notch. With dual electric motors, a better battery and heightened handling, the Polestar 2 delivers 408 electric horses of powerful, precise performance on an unprecedented scale. Whether for daily duties or daring daytrips, the Polestar 2’s unique battery is prepared to get you there — charged at home, it’s ready to start every day with 233 miles of “go” power. The Polestar 2 is ethics meets innovation: fully vegan interior options, reconstructed wood and a battery design
that’s as cool as it is conscious. This electric vehicle is equipped with a suite of safety features inside and out, including AI Pilot Assist, effectively making it an on-the-go co-pilot that graduates at the top of its class. The Polestar 2 is a stand-alone operating system on wheels. Smart capabilities like voice control and phone integration keep the driver focused on the road for an entertaining, immersive and personal driving experience. Through a phone app, the system recognizes the car’s owner and unlocks on approach. With driver profiles, the moment the driver touches the door, the seat, mirror, steering wheel and temperature settings are returned to the driver’s personal position. The built-in Android Automotive OS brings full integration to the driver’s favorite Google apps and beyond. Polestar is a leading-edge brand addition to the Courtesy Automotive Group, exclusively bringing the brand to Arizona. Its bold and storied heritage that already embodies EV tech of the future needs to be showcased at one of the highest foottrafficked locations in the Valley — Scottsdale Fashion Square, where the temporary popup will be replaced with a permanent showroom opening in October 2021. —Mike Hunter
