When I swapped my XC90 at the end of last month for a B5 I enquired about Polestar. The dealer said there was no news and no ETA. So it’s still a wait and see unfortunately. Pity as I was going to push the button on Polestar this time.

Likewise, I picked up my XC60 B5 inscription pro petrol this morning and the dealer has no information regarding Polestar at this time...

Perhaps there is no neeed for Polestaring the B range as the engine gets a boost from the electric boost motor.

There won't be a Polestar optimisation for the B5 or any other engine combos besides the T8. Forget it.

perhaps they cannot improve the B5 performance without endangering the engine.
or the
B5 is only going to be in production for a very short while and so demand for the Polestar modification would be too low.

According to my dealer, it was due to be released Sept/Oct 20, but he thinks the ‘coof’ may delayed it. Stand-by to stand-by!
