So I have just brought this
 
V90 T5 R Design Pro with Polestar.

https://volvocars-gerrardscross.sele...packs-u7b4sehe

Just a quick question does anyone on here have a T5 R Design with the 20" wheels and Lowered Sports Chassis, I wondered what it was like to live with in the real world.

Obviously a test drive doesn't give the full picture - Im coming from a 2017 D4 Momentum.

Are you sure it's got Polestar only my XC60 with Polestar has 260bhp.

Afternoon,

No it's not advertised with Polestar but as part of the deal I had them add it.

That explains that one.
You obviously won't notice the difference, as you are having it done from the start of your ownership. But believe me there is a difference.
Enjoy your new car.

What is the lowered sport chassis? I thought v90 comes with air option on the back and that’s it. No different for r design - just cosmetics and paddles instead of heated steering wheel. Cc has raised chassis.

Polestar does nothing with the chassis - it replaces dynamic mode with polestar own but it only affects gearbox, steering weight and engine. Dynamic mode only modifies suspension on air suspension cars.

‘Lower and firmer sports chassis’ according to the brochure..

Including ‘adjusted anti-roll bars and stiffer springs’

Mine’ is super soft and comfy (18” wheels)

Must admit - I have no idea what a Lowered Sport Chassis is, but it is listed as being a factory spec item.

I actually made enquiries was I was concerned that the 20" wheels and sports chassis might all be a bit to much on UK Roads.

But it definitely listed as a factory spec

Just found this

"Sport chassis. With a Sport chassis that lowers the ride height by 20mm and stiffer springs and dampers, the V90 R-Design is built to give you a sharper driving experience."
