Following this thread as Ive debated getting the actual Polestar tune vs just enabling the transmission adjustments through Orbit.

So what are the results of this mode?

I have air suspension on my 2023 xc60 t8 recharge, and I just enabled this setting. I will report back on whether I feel anything different suspension or engine wise.

Can you share what your experience was?

Do you have any update?

After the release of version AAOS 3.3.16 of the China version of Volvo, a previously non-existent performance mode could be activated via voice control, and there was a noticeable change in the transmission logic once activated. However, after an unperceived OTA update (which I believe was an OTA for voice control, not a system update), Volvo re-disabled this capability. Therefore, I think the performance mode is just a switch, and the logic for the performance mode had already been added to the vehicle during the system update.

Hi,

I have now tried and activated the performance mode in my 16 D5 FE. Only difference I can feel is the steering is stiffer and nothing else. When the upload was comolete it even gave me shortly a warning for power steering in the dashboard which disappeared after 10sec.
The activation of Polestar engineered is a different option and not the 057 I believe and that is a bit different. 
Originally I had Eco, Comfort, Dynamic, Offroad and Individual under the roll button and after activating the Polestar Engineered now instead of Dynamic it states the Polestar. I must admit between those 2 I dont feel so much difference as they both lower the car and keep the revs higher + the throttle is a bit more responsive.
The Power Mode does not seem to do anything else except as I mentioned makes the power steering more heavy. And I can feel it changes to light when I put the individual mode where I have set it to light.

So I placed it back to Without Power Mode.
