Volvo introduces Polestar performance optimisation for Drive-E models

The new generation Polestar Performance Optimisation for Volvo models with Drive-E engines is here, introducing a new concept where the drivetrain is optimised together with the engine.

The new generation, available for the majority of Volvo models with Drive-E engines, includes optimised engine performance, throttle response, gearshift speed, gearshift precision and off-throttle response. All changes are made with certified emissions, fuel consumption, service intervals and Volvo warranty unchanged.

The expansion to optimising the drivetrain is a result of the intense cooperation with Volvo Research & Development and Aisin Warner for the Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar. A number of improvements were found during that development period which are utilised in the new generation Polestar Performance Optimisations. The optimisations have been focused on mid-range performance, improving the driving experience and drivability in a broad range of situations, fully utilising the expertise of the Polestar and Volvo engineers and test drivers.

The first optimisations will be released in the last week of June 2015, starting with the T6, T5, D5 and D4 engines. Over 140 different variations of optimisations will continue to be released over the coming months so interested owners can sign up for Polestar's newsletter here to receive information about their models.
