I have a MY2009 D5 Auto with official Volvo Heico chip tune.
Is it worth it?
No idea.
I've never driven a D5 Auto without the tune, so cannot say if it is "better" or "worse".
I actually have no idea if my car is "under powered", or "over powered".
It just is what it is.
I suggest Polestar is the same.
Unless you have knowledge of what standard performance is like, you will have no ability to assess whether the Polestar change makes any difference to your vehicle and driving style whatsoever.
Apart from the badge on the back of the car.
And the paperwork in the vehicle manual.
And the hole in the bank account.
