Polestar 2 owners can now look forward to easy web surfing in their cars, thanks to the addition of a new Vivaldi web browser.

The inclusion of a full-scale web browser in the Polestar 2 will allow users to browse the web as they might on their mobile devices. It is the first browser available for Android Automotive OS.

Developed for the Polestar 2 by the Vivaldi team in Norway, the app brings extensive browser functionality to the 11-inch centre display with Android Automotive OS in the car, offering tabbed browsing, streaming ability, online shopping and top security measures. The browser even features a built-in ad blocker, privacy-friendly translation tool, notes function, tracking protection and encrypted sync functionality. The Vivaldi browser for the Polestar 2 is now available in all European, North American and certain Asia Pacific markets.

"It's great that we could answer our owner community's desire for a browser with Vivaldi as a Christmas present," comments Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO. "Now there is a whole new world of web content you can explore in Polestar 2 - even some of your favourite streaming platforms."
