S90 D5 Polestar, quick question - is it a dedicated mode?

Polestar drops my air suspension by 2" when selected. and the off-road setting jacks it up by 2". But it takes time. No air suspension= No movement
Best check for what polestar does is to boot it in comfort mode. you will then find the auto box will not change up till you hit over 3500RPM (T5) and steering and brakes sharpen up considerably.

Interesting - are you sure it's Polestar doing that?
Did your car have Polestar when you bought it, or did you have it installed?
If the latter, did the suspension drop previously when Dynamic mode was selected?
I've not seen any reference to P* altering suspensions settings - it changes throttle, gearshift timings, bhp, torque - but no specific mention of suspension.
The P* setting could be appearing to do that on an SUV with Air/4C, but only because that adjustment is still present as it used to be part of the Dynamic setting, before being changed to 'Polestar Engineered'.
Happy to be proved wrong as I have no experience of 4C on XC60/90. I have a V90CC T6 AWD which does not have the height-adjustment feature as part of its Air/4C set-up.
If I want better handling through the twisty stuff, I select the Individual mode (in which I have already pre-selected the sportier settings) which changes instantly. (Can't remember exactly what they're called as I set it up 18 months ago and haven't looked at it since!)
