When you're exploring used Polestar vehicles, you'll want to get the best deal possible. Here at Volvo Cars Mission Viejo, we have a wide selection of used and certified preowned (CPO) Polestar models available at all times.
Why Choose a Used Polestar?
By choosing a used Polestar model, you can experience a premium electric vehicle (EV) performance at a discounted price. All Polestar models are built with high-quality materials and advanced engineering to ensure longevity and reliability. The high-tech interiors and minimalist design make them an attractive choice for EV enthusiasts who want a modern driving experience.
CPO Polestar Program Explained
CPO vehicles are used models that meet certain eligibility requirements. In order for a used Polestar model to become certified, it must pass a rigorous inspection process. All certified models are inspected and serviced by Polestar technicians, who use genuine Polestar parts to address any issues. All certified models have under 80,000 miles and are less than six years from service to ensure they're in great shape. We even include a CARFAX history report so that you can learn more about the vehicle for yourself.
With a Polestar CPO vehicle, you also get a few other benefits. After the new vehicle warranty expires, all CPO models come with an additional two years and unlimited miles of coverage. Scheduled factory maintenance is also covered while you have an active Certified by Polestar limited warranty. All CPO models also come with a SiriusXM Satellite Radio three-month platinum plan and complimentary roadside assistance. Additionally, you may qualify for used EV rebates & incentives.
Benefits of Buying CPO vs. Regular Used Polestar
There are some clear benefits of buying a CPO over a regular used vehicle. There's peace of mind in knowing your CPO model went through a strict eligibility and inspection process, along with perks such as complimentary maintenance and roadside assistance. However, CPO models are typically more expensive than their regular counterparts. Therefore, you'll have to decide if the extra costs are worth the numerous benefits.
Key Considerations When Buying a Used Polestar
When you decide to get a used Polestar model, there are a few things you'll want to consider.
Year and Model Variations: What You Need To Know
Different model years may have variations in terms of range, available features, and software capabilities. The Polestar 1 was only produced in limited numbers and ceased production in 2021, while the Polestar 2 has seen continuous updates in range and technology over the years. Be sure to research specific model years to determine which version is best for your needs.
Vehicle Condition: Factors To Check
As with any used vehicle, you'll want to evaluate the car's condition before buying. One of the most critical aspects to check is the battery's health and how much time remains on the battery's warranty. You should check the amount of tread on the tires, damage to the interior or exterior, and the vehicle's performance during a test drive. You must also ask for a history report to learn about how well the vehicle was maintained by previous owners.
Mileage Concerns: What's Acceptable?
Mileage is an important concern with used vehicles. While EV models typically undergo less wear on mechanical components, battery degradation is a concern. Most batteries are designed to last over 100,000 miles, but it's a good idea to check the remaining battery capacity. If you can, look for a used Polestar with under 50,000 miles for the safest bet.
Comparing Polestar Models: A Look at Different Years and Trims
Below is a brief overview of the used Polestar models you may come across.
Polestar 1
The Polestar 1 is a plug-in hybrid luxury coupe. It delivers high performance and an electric range of about 52 miles before switching to its gasoline engine. Features of the Polestar 1 include all-wheel drive, a carbon-fiber construction, a large, vertically-oriented touch-screen infotainment system, and a premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 is Polestar's first all-electric model. It's a practical sedan that comes in various configurations, such as single and dual-motor versions. The more recent the Polestar 2 model, the better range you can expect, with the latest versions able to reach up to 320 miles per charge.
Polestar 3
If you're looking for a larger vehicle, the Polestar 3 is an all-electric SUV that combines luxury, technology, and electric power. It has a range of about 300 miles and uses premium materials throughout the cabin. Used Polestar 3 models are limited, as this model was released in 2023.
Polestar 4
The coupe-style SUV Polestar 4 is like a mix between the Polestar 2 and 3. The Polestar 4 includes innovative features, such as a rearview camera-based mirror and advanced driver-assistance systems, all inside a spacious and sporty interior. As with the Polestar 3, used Polestar 4 models may be limited, as production began in late 2023.
Ownership Benefits and Maintenance of Used Polestar Vehicles
Choosing a used Polestar vehicle allows you to get a luxury EV at a more affordable price. Polestar models are known for their long electric range, fast charging capabilities, and over-the-air software updates that improve the driving experience. If the Polestar's performance isn't enough of a selling point, the modern and comfortable interior will convince you.
Once you've purchased your used Polestar, taking care of it is easier than gas-powered vehicles. EVs typically need less maintenance, but there are still some things you should regularly check, including your brake fluid, tires, and cooling systems. It's also important to regularly update the Polestar's software, as it can play a critical role in vehicle performance.
