Hi.

Just want to give my thoughts on the upgrade I've just had on the car (2021 July).

I had a new key coded aswell as I only had one proper key with a guest key delivered with the car

it's a fair few quid for the Polestar upgrade (£595) but the car does feel even more sporty. The sport mode is replaced with the Polestar Engineered setting....and a new badge on the tailgate

The car is more responsive, gear changes are quicker, pulls better and feels more planted.....

It's still early days but I'm very pleased with it, and would recommend it.

I have had mine done too. The most significant observed change is that the engine seems smoother.

The applicable UK model list is now expanded quite a bit:-

If you are considering it, don't forget that there is a difference in total effect between FWD & AWD transmission options and of course between Manual & Auto.
