My Volvo isn't set to arrive until September but I'd love to get the Polestar upgrade at a discount. Do these offers come back around?

Buy now at discounted price, have it installed later.

Dan does the premium remain the same with this upgrade or likely to cost a bit extra?

I was with Hastings insurance when i had my polestar put on my V70, when i called them before having it done they outright refused to contonue insurinbg the car, even though I stressed it was a genuine volvo 'part' they said it changed how it came out of the factory.

Switched to Volvo insurance and they added £6 to the premium for it..

I too am considering Polestar on my 2018 V60 D4 whilst its on offer for 650 pounds at my local dealer

One question

Does the upgrade provide a new map to just the Dynamic setting of the car - or does it affect the other settings too (Comfort/Individual/etc) - or does it provide a new Polestar option in addition to the existing options

Many thanks

Chris Knott charged me an extra £57 because of the increase in HP after another adviser told me I’d just pay an admin fee because it was an official Volvo upgrade. I should have got the advisers name, lesson learned.

That's a bit harsh. I've been with Admiral the last few years as I had tuned my Focus but limited it to under 25% BHP gain. It saved me going to the 'specialist insurers as they always cost more.
I'm picking up a D4 V60 Momentum Pro and getting Polestar on it. Admiral are charging £33 for changing the car inc £19.50 admin fee. When i mention Polestar as it's less than 10% BHP gain, no additional charge.

The main trick is to let them know its less than 10% gain.

Where I take my money next is the outcome, I’ll be shopping around at the next renewal.
