The Polestar 2 arrived in 2020 as the Swedish brand's first fully electric production model, a fastback sedan built on the Volvo/Geely CMA platform and positioned squarely against the Tesla Model 3. For 2024, it received its most substantial mid-cycle revision to date — revised front fascia, new headlight graphics, updated Google built-in infotainment, and suspension recalibration. Norev now renders that updated car in die-cast metal at 1:43, in one of the more eye-catching colours in the 2024 range.
A Meaningful Mid-Cycle Revision
Launched in 2020 and refreshed for MY2024, the Polestar 2 is a four-door fastback measuring 4606 mm in length with a 2735 mm wheelbase. The powertrain lineup spans a single-motor rear-wheel-drive variant producing 272 hp to a dual-motor all-wheel-drive version rated at 421 hp, with battery choices of 69 kWh or 78 kWh. The 2024 facelift is visually distinct from the 2021–2023 cars: the front end was redesigned, making year identification straightforward even at 1:43.
Jupiter: The Colour That Sets This Apart
Jupiter is a pale gold champagne metallic introduced as part of the refreshed 2024 Polestar 2 colour palette, listed on the official Polestar configurator. Among collectors, colour variants carry real weight: the majority of Polestar 2 die-cast releases appear in black or grey, which makes Jupiter a less common option. The finish reads differently under varying light — closer to warm silver in shade, more distinctly gold in direct light — a quality that rewards display in a well-lit cabinet.
The 1:43 Scale Model by Norev
Norev is a French die-cast manufacturer with a long-standing catalogue of European road cars, and this 1:43 model is built in die-cast metal. The piece reproduces the facelifted 2024 front-end treatment, distinguishing it clearly from earlier pre-facelift Polestar 2 releases. For collectors focused on contemporary electric vehicles, this is the first die-cast representation of the updated MY2024 car at this scale, making it a logical reference point for the generation.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:43, this Norev Polestar 2 slots naturally alongside platform siblings such as the Volvo C40 Recharge, or pairs well with the pre-facelift Polestar 2 in contrasting colours to document the model's evolution from 2021–2023 to 2024. Collectors building an EV-focused shelf will find it complements Polestar 3 die-cast releases and contemporary competitors. The Jupiter finish stands out visually against darker models, making it a useful accent piece within a predominantly monochrome electric-car collection.
