目前Polestar已经被所完全拥有沃尔沃，该厂近日将推出全新2017款V90 Cross Country动力升级版，涵盖搭载D4/D5和T6引擎的车型。目前动力最弱柴油引擎的功率和扭矩分别为190马力和295牛米。但Polestar工程师将功率和扭矩分别提升至200马力和325牛米。而D5引擎功率和扭矩将从原来的235马力和354牛米提升至240马力和369牛米。至于T6汽油引擎，标准版功率和扭矩分别为320马力和295牛米，Polestar将提升至334马力和325牛米。动力提升并不明显，而Polestar表示，还将对变速箱进行调整以提升换挡速度。改装厂还将提升车辆中段加速性能，而在日常行驶中，中段加速性是最经常涉及的方面。此外，油门反应也将获得提升，这些升级将使车辆获得更具动态的驾驶感受。

Volvo V90 Cross Country by Polestar brings more power, faster gear shifts
Now a wholly-owned Volvo subsidiary, Polestar is ready to infuse more power in the all-new 2017 V90 Cross Country fitted with the D4, D5, and T6 engines. The weakest diesel is rated in its standard configuration at 190 hp and 295 Nm, but Polestar’s engineers can dial the output to 200 hp and 325 Nm. Should you want more oomph, the beefier D5 can be upgraded from the series 235 hp and 354 Nm to 240 hp and 369 Nm. If you would rather have a gasoline engine, the T6 with its 320 hp and 295 Nm can be massaged to push out 334 hp and 325 Nm.

The power gains are minor, but Polestar mentions it will also tweak the gearbox in order to enable faster shifts. Volvo’s performance arm goes on to specify focus was on optimizing the rugged wagon’s mid-range capabilities since that’s what matters the most during regular daily driving. Throttle response has also been improved, while upgrades in other areas have been implemented as well to enable what Polestar describes as being “a more dynamic driving experience.”
