Interesting thread. I’ve just bought a (new to me) ‘2024’ (registered July 2023) V90 B5 Petrol. There are no driving modes to choose from (Android OS). I’m seeking clarification as to whether the Polestar Software Optimisation will help with the driveability (cure gearchange laziness especially) in the standard/default mode as well. I’m concerned that mostly I won’t be choosing Polestar mode – from looking at the information sheet, max torque comes in at 3,900 as opposed to 1,800 rpm and the mode forces the car into lower gears (akin to Sport mode in other cars) allowing the increased mid range performance. In other words, I don’t want to lose refinement during day-to-day driving (where the car is mostly between 1,500 and 2,250 rpm). Does anyone have any direct experience please? The dealer tells me it does help in the standard mode (apparently 80% of 'Polestar' being available), and is ‘night and day’ in Polestar mode itself. Interested to hear your comments. Many thanks. PS This is my first post (thank you for allowing me to join!).
