-
The V60 Polestar is powered by a 345bhp turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six engine
-
The 20in rims cover uprated discs and pads from Brembo. The calipers are six-piston items up front
-
Extended front valance has been developed in the Volvo wind tunnel and reduces front axle lift considerably
-
Parking sensors come as standard, but the transceivers themselves are hidden in darker bumper mouldings so you don't notice them
-
Gloss black surround for the rear window makes the glazed area look bigger
-
High-rise tail-lights have long been a Volvo estate hallmark. They're easier to see from behind and look great
-
A standard-fit reversing camera aids parking
-
Twin tailpipes sound more purposeful than they look
-
The roof spoiler is a functioning aerodynamic part, as is the diffuser
-
Leather, nubuck suede and blue stitching add just enough performance flavour to the Polestar's cabin
-
The seating position is high but otherwise ergonomically excellent
-
Standard features include a partly digital dashboard, adaptive cruise control and a DAB radio
-
All of the controls feel like they'll last, and they're also easy to find
-
The second row has enough room for three medium-sized adults, but it will be a squeeze for larger ones
-
Boot space is 430 litres, rising to 1241 litres up to the roof with the rear seats folded. A tyre repair kit is standard
-
The Polestar's six-clinder engine is mounted transversely
-
Polestar's chassis mods over the regular V60 include stiffer springs, new dampers, a carbonfibre strut brace and new bushings
-
The Polestar offers lots of grip, massive traction and capable – if not agile – handling
-
Braking power is solid and with a good pedal feel. They last well too, for an 1800kg estate
-
More appealing than its outright performance and abilities suggest
