A Volvo with the Polestar Performance package has the same certified fuel consumption as the standard version. This is possible thanks to our efficient tuning of the engine, which only increases the power output when it is needed, i.e. for overtaking, long uphill gradients or driving with heavy trailers. This also means that the car's environmental impact remains unchanged, it is maintained within the limits for the certified emissions that are permitted. In practice it is fully possible to use Polestar's power optimization to reduce fuel consumption slightly, if you drive in an environmentally sound manner with rapid acceleration and maintain an even speed with low engine load.

Improved performance and higher safety in the hands of a driver with good judgement result in better engine performance and increased passive safety in traffic. Better acceleration allows faster overtaking of slow moving vehicles such as trucks, trailers and caravans. Quite simply it reduces the time required to complete the overtaking. Volvo's original speed inhibitor is unchanged. We give your Volvo higher power output and better torque in the range the engine most often works in. Our racing drivers call this improving the car's driveability. They want the car to be optimised for racing, you want the car optimised for driving on streets and roads.
