Optimize Your Driving Pleasure with Polestar
Our optimization for Drive-E engines is the result of careful development work in five key areas. Together they form a complete solution that takes your driving to a new level.
Knowledge is power. With more than 20 years on the track, Polestar is at the leading edge of performance. Our team uses everything we learnt on the racing circuit to engineer products tha enhance your driving experience.
Six Optimizations, One Powerful Package
Throttle Response: The throttle response has been recalibarated to provide improved feedback and accelerator reaction - ideal for overtaking or during active driving on a twisty road.
Off-Throttle Response: the engine and gearbox have been calibrated to provide faster responses when the driver suddenly lifts off the throttle, providing improved predictability and control.
Gearshift Speed: The gearshift speed has been increased, allowing the car to accelerate faster and react more directly to driver input.
Gearshift Precision: the gearshift has been optimized to provide a more precise driving experience with faster acceleration. Gearshift points have been alibrated to utilize the optimized mid-range engine performance, while the gear hold funcation maintains the same gear (wherever possible) when cornering with high lateral g-force.
Engine Performance: All Drive-E optimizations are made to provide greater performance in the engine's mid-range power band - perfect for the sporty driver when overtaking, entering a highway or existing a corner.
Torque for AWD: The dynamic driving mode has been calibrated to provide the rear wheels with more power on acceleration.
Our Polestar Optimization is installed by our trained technicians at Valentine Volvo and does not affect your original warranty or service intervals.
