Polestar is a super efficient tuning software that optimizes the output of Volvo's T5 and T6 engines. For the T5, it increases horsepower from 227 to 250 hp, and torque from 238 to 273 lb. ft. For the T6, horsepower goes from 300 to 325 hp, and torque from 325 to 354 lb. ft. Polestar provides the kind of enhanced performance that kicks in when it's needed most. Polestar will not impact the certified fuel economy or emissions.
Improved performance and higher safety in the hands of a driver with good judgment result in better engine performance and increased active safety in traffic. Better acceleration allows faster overtaking of slow-moving vehicles such as trucks, trailers and RVs. Quite simply, it reduces the time required to complete the pass. We give your Volvo higher power output and better torque in the range the engine most often works in.
Your Volvo factory warranty is not affected by this upgrade provided it is installed by Volvo of Burlingame.
