Volvo V90 Cross Country by Polestar
The Swedish
automaker's performance division has announced a range of enhancements for the
flagship V90 Cross Country.
This is not a full-on Polestar performance model, but rather a Polestar
Performance Optimisation package similar to those already introduced for the
S90, V90 and XC90.
The upgrades are now available to the V90 Cross
Country in T6, D5, and D4 versions. Rather than try to produce substantial
gains in straight-line performance, Polestar focused on enhancing the vehicle's
response. So the engine is recalibrated for more mid-range punch, the gearbox
shifts faster and throttle response is crisper, all of which are meant to
encourage more spirited driving.
Now if only Volvo would give us a full-on Polestar
Cross Country like the road-focused S60 and V60, we would have a real
snow-pounding, gravel-spraying all-terrain machine on our hands.
