Technically wrong, there’s not much the S60 and V60 with Polestar label, but the same was true (in each case in the Netherlands) unfortunately, not for the price. However, Volvo’s huistuner the step wagon and the new XC90 is the turbosmurf-treatment, though there are some hooks and eyes to the story.

Polestar has the green light from Volvo got the fresh XC90 further point to convert, so claims to AutoExpress. This will include both the T6 (320 hp, 400 Nm) and the D5 (225 hp, 470 Nm), a mild badassification going to receive. Mild, because the upper limit in terms of outputcijfers is determined by the T8, the version in the Netherlands is already a major success thanks to a high power, and low tax liability.

Volvo has indicated that Polestar versions of the previously mentioned T6 and D5, the rangetopper not exceed, more than 400 hp and 650 Nm, the XC90’s with a blue badge do not get. On the one hand a pity, on the other hand, distinguish Polestars especially with their advanced suspension (Öhlins damping, Brembo stoppers). Oh yes, and with their quite big price tags.

The Swedish brand doesn’t want the T8 is over is gone before his brethren without the electric motor, may of course also mean that Volvo something special in store for hybrid Polestars. Previous posts hintten is already in that direction. We (Ibracadabra included) are going to probably next year sometime, of course after the regular XC90 this summer, his debut with the dealer.
