I got the polestar optimisation on my XC90 from 2015 but there is hardly any different in performance. It might just be a placebo effect and no improvement in power. Does anyone know why?
My car doesn’t have the drive mode selector and I can’t choose the polestar mode. I’ve read other posts and everyone seems to have a drive mode option where they select the polestar drive mode and feel a big difference in power. Am I meant to have a button on the Sensus screen where I can select the polestar mode? Last edited by DenB123; Jun 27th, 2024 at 23:43. |

2015/16 the drive mode wheel was an optional extra, not sure if they add a polestar icon in sensus when it is downloaded, try swiping the screen to the left and scrolling the screen up incase it is hidden at the bottom of the screen.

I had Polestar put on my 2018 V90CC D4, power increase is only 5%, not really noticeable in general driving.
Pulling off from standstill out of a junction is sharper, polestar has made the gearbox revs more before changing, only when in Polestar mode. Summing it up, it has greatly improved the autobox should you want to drive it more sporty. Engine performance little improvement. Regarding insurance its increased the premium nearly £200. I personally wouldn't bother with it again. |

Sadly I can't give you any quotes with evidence as I've read that quite a while ago.
