And yes it now says Polestar instead of dynamic, the software was last updated last November the dealer tells me. The power change is noticeable and the mid-range torque makes a lot of difference.
I am quite disillusioned with Volvo though. When they sorted out the the drive train issues they should have simply included them with the next software update. When I change my car next it will not necessarily be a Volvo, this and the whole attitude of the Company (blocking updates etc) has put me right off.
I give my XC90 10 years or if it dismantles itself for the 3rd time, then change to highend Merz.
Btw imo all Covid and Post-Covid cars are an electronical and mechanical waste up to day. The problems and the careless designs multiplied all the actual problems of the newly manufactured cars by tenfold in the past 5 years. And not only cars, 10% of the electronics sold are plain garbage, and up to 40-50% there are major flaws appearing within months or in 1-2 years.
If I hated my MY 2019 for any reasons, I still wouldn't want to buy any new cars at the moment. I would just buy a completely new D5 engine and replace it.
