The Polestar 2 now includes a premium audio experience
26 Mar 2021|1,282 views
The Polestar 2 presents a new take on various audio functions that contribute to its premium package, working with high quality components and the latest technology to design and integrate advanced audio.
With the Polestar 2, digital sound engineers were presented with the opportunity to create a new sound scape for the car. Warning, notification and functional sounds have a robotic, digital feel while remaining clean and clear - and they are unique to Polestar.
Premium audio is part of the Plus Pack in the Polestar 2 offer. A 13-speaker, 600W Harman Kardon sound system elevates the audio experience and features unique technology. A ventilated subwoofer in the rear body cavity provides high-quality bass, and a second, air-powered subwoofer placed ahead of the dashboard changes the way the audio experience could be engineered as well.
Not only notable for its exceptional audio quality, the Harman Kardon system also presented Polestar's interior designers with an opportunity to do things differently. Speakers are hidden in strategic locations in the cabin.
For example, front door speakers, which usually take up valuable space that could otherwise be utilised for storage, are positioned higher up on the door panels and behind premium textile covers. This frees up space in the lower door pocket and contributes to the overall design theme inside Polestar 2.
Each front door features a polished metal button, inspired by high-end fashion and embossed with the Harman Kardon '60°' motif. This motif is repeated on the speaker grille atop the dashboard, where the Harman Kardon logo subtly indicates its system's origins.


Audio development extends further than the sounds created inside Polestar 2 - it also encompasses the sounds that make their way into the cabin from outside. With the lack of engine noise, the ability to create a peaceful soundscape is easier than ever before - but the silent running presents other audio challenges.
In order to reduce intrusive road noise, the battery pack itself has been integrated into the Noise, Vibration and Harshness solution. Interior noise levels are lower by 3.7dB compared to an equivalent combustion engine vehicle, further allowing sound engineers to create a specific experience for Polestar 2 occupants.
