I haven't seen this mentioned on the Polestar blurb I've been able to find. Is this perhaps a newer innovation on the current models, or does this happen with older AWD models too? Mine is a 2017MY (66 plate) V60 Cross Country AWD and if the Polestar optimisation does the power/torque thing, the geartronic remap, and also rebalances drive a bit more to the rear bias, that'd probably make this pretty much my ideal Volvo! So I'm sorely tempted, but not sure if it delivers all these things for my car. Anybody know?
