After the Volvo S90 and V90, Polestar has now diverted its attention to the other 90 Series model by the Swedish carmaker – the XC90 T8 Twin Engine. The SUV now gets the Polestar Performance Optimisation, which introduces upgrades to the drivetrain.
Starting with the power upgrades, the XC90’s T8 Twin Engine now provides 421 hp and 680 Nm, an increase of 14 hp and 40 Nm. Polestar say that this has resulted in a lower 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 5.5 seconds, a tenth of a second quicker than before.
Fuel consumption surprisingly, remains unchanged here at 2.1 l/100 km, as is the pure electric range of 43 km. Both figures are based on the European NEDC cycle. The tuning company also stated that the XC90 T8 “reaches a new level of driving pleasure” with an improved throttle response, gearshift hold, speed and precision, as well as overall engine performance.
”Just a week after the introduction of the S90 and V90 optimisation, we move forward by launching our optimisation for the exciting and technically advanced XC90 T8 Twin Engine. This gives customers who want a new level of driving pleasure with their XC90 an easily accessible and attractive performance increase,” said Niels Möller, CEO of Polestar.

Finally not proton…
Finally lame comment
Proton should write to Polestar to tune the new Perdana up. After all, Minister already said Proton is BETTER than BMW and Volvo.
MITI should write to Polestar and Alpina and ask them to tune our Perdana up.
Tongsan to the rescue, and look at those real exhaust vs painted fake exhaust on banana hewhewhew
Here’s another trivia to burn bijan n cronies: this XC90 sold its first 1927 units online and sold out in 47 hours. This tongsan is the true game changer, raking rave reviews praising it better than Germans, even Land Rover Discovery. Banana? Hewhewhew
Banana only got 900 bookings, not sale, over how many months booking was open, of which most surely came from govt agencies and DRB subsi. Good luck, look forward to massive year end discount!
Teaser after teaser and only 900 booked????
Huh? Since when p1 can be bought all over the world?
p1, pls rebadge volvo and sell 30% cheaper…
finally an article that isnt about the stupid perdana
If cannot afford just tell straight lor
Anti-P1 = anti-Tun M = support Najib
Finally something civilized and modern. At least the based model for this has ESC for sure.
Not worth it. Pay 4-figure for tuning just to get century sprint 0.1 sec quicker??
Better buy Hilux, got RV compared to this.
421 hp is common for tuned VR4.
