Experience Volvo
With Polestar Engineered optimisation you will get more out of your Volvo car. Enhanced response, more precise, sharper, and intense reactions from the car. A more personal car that suits you and your way of driving.
An improved experience, developed by Polestar together with Volvo Cars - and installed by Volvo Cars. That means your warranty and service intervals are unaffected, as are fuel consumption and emission levels.
Polestar Engineered Optimisation is now available at £559 (RRP £695). For more information on Polestar Engineered Optimisation or to arrange a 14-day trial*, contact our team at Agnew Belfast (Volvo) on 02890097181.
With more than 20 years' racing experience, Polestar is at the forefront when it comes to performance optimisation. What has been learnt from motorsport is taken into the development of new products. The goal is always the same - to offer all Volvo owners an even greater driving experience.
Click below to find out if your vehicle can be optimised and how much Polestar Engineered Optimisation improves the performance of the car.
The engine and gearbox have been calibrated to respond more quickly when the driver releases the accelerator. This makes the car more balanced and predictable when cornering for example.
Throttle response has been calibrated to respond more quickly to driver commands - something that gives higher precision and better feel.
The automatic gearbox changes gears more quickly to both improve acceleration and to better respond to the driver's commands, e.g. downshifts before overtaking.
The gears have also been calibrated to exploit the engine's improved midrange performance. The gearbox also avoids changes when cornering at high g-forces (where possible) for better stability.
Your Volvo was created to make you feel connected, secure and comfortable. And now you can experience the excitement of enhanced performance. Our Polestar Optimisation software upgrade will unlock your new drive mode, bringing heightened engine power, faster, more precise gear capability and fine-tuned throttle response.
We have concentrated the power where it is needed most - in the midrange; perfect for overtaking or when on a busy motorway. Combined with faster throttle response and gear changes this makes the car significantly more dynamic to drive.
This feature is included in all new optimisations for AWD vehicles. The feature can retrospectively be added to vehicles which currently have the optimisation via the Service Promise, Total Upgrade or Volvo Selekt Software. The upgrade increases torque distribution to the rear wheels of Volvo cars equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD), for more dynamic driving.
The Polestar Optimisation software for the D5 (68) engine offers an exciting enhancement. Polestar have introduced an “Over boost” function that provides an additional +20nm Torque and +15hp power for up to 20 seconds once the peak power of the engine has been reached. The standard D5 (68) engine produces 235hp and 480nm torque. When this engine is Optimised and is in Over boost mode, the figures are increased to 255hp and 520nm torque.
