Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Volvo V60 Polestar

Transmission:

Like everything else in the V60 Polestar, the transmission has been revised to deliver a sportier and more engaging feel on the road. The folks at Polestar re-calibrated the software that controls it to speed up shifts and hold gears longer along with adding launch control.

Furthermore, Polestar recalibrated the all-wheel drive system for more rear torque distribution when stability control is turned off. The end result is a wagon that feels like a sports car.
