07 XC70 to 16MY XC60
Hi all, trading my 2007 118k XC70 for a new XC60. Went to the dealership about 4 weeks ago with the D4 190 SE Geartronic 2WD in my head, left after ordering the D5 220 AWD R-Design Lux Nav Geartronic Must say, pleased with deal and pick up the new XC60 in 2 weeks.
Couple of silly questions..... This Polestar thingy, on an already 220 hp car what would it offer? Is there a fuel consumption benefit as well? On my XC70 I have the swing down dog guard but can't find that as an option on the XC60, anyone have one and is it an option? Thanks guys James |

Thanks, found the info. Polestar give an extra 10hp and 25lb/ft so not really worth it for the D5 220
Dog guard, great, will order it tomorrow (and a bumper protector) |

Hi, the XC70 is very sound, its my wife's car and its an SE LUX 118K, MOT till around Aug 16 I think. Some good recent work done to it and its got a nearly new set of Pirelli all weather tyres fitted. Geartronic, full leather etc.... If you are interested please message me with your email address and I can send you some pics and more info etc.
Sorry, can't message you as I don't have 30 posts |

Polestar is more than just the bhp and lb/ft increase........it improves the driveability of the car massively, as it extends the rev range over which the increased torque is available. They also adjust the gearbox to the Polestar map making changes much smoother. Personally, irrespective of the model, if I continue with Volvo cars for many years to come I will Polestar every single one of them. J
