The entry level for Polestar 2 Fastback lease deals is the single motor, standard range. But don't let that put you off.

Deciding if leasing a Polestar 2 or Polestar 3 really comes down to the suitability and budget you have for an electric vehicle lease. Choosing a car can be tiresome, with so many car brands and models to choose from, where do you even start? The first thing you should consider is how long you want to keep the vehicle for. Most lease deals have a minimum term of 24 months, right up to 60 months and the longer you have the lease the generally cheaper it becomes on a monthly basis. For many people the need to change vehicle often is very low, with modern vehicles being able to handle much higher mileages without mechancial fault. All new leases come with a 3 year warranty as standard which helps to alleviate the concern of your vehicle breaking down and having costly repairs.
You should also consider how much mileage you are likely to do on a short term and a long term basis. Polestar electric cars mostly have a range of 300 miles (depending on driving style and conditions) and as such if you regularly take round trips far in excess of this, have you got access to charging points when you arrive at your destination.
