Polestar 2 keeps an estimated 34% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #505 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Polestar 2 retains an estimated 34% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #505 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 40% five-year average for EV in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Polestar 2 sheds about 24% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $49,900 it falls to around $17,115 by year five — a five-year loss near $32,785, about $17.96 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Polestar 2 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
