Power
•
The car has sportier characteristics and
faster response to accelerating.
The drive mode adapts the combined power
from the internal combustion engine and elec-
tric motor by means of the car being driven by
both front and rear wheels. The gear changes
become faster and more distinct, and the
gearbox prioritises a gear with greater trac-
tion. Steering response is faster and shock
absorption is harder.
Both the internal combustion engine and elec-
tric motor are engaged in order to drive all four
wheels, which results in increased fuel con-
sumption.
The drive mode is adapted for maximum per-
formance and response on acceleration. It
changes the internal combustion engine's
accelerator pedal response, gear shift pattern
and boost pressure system. Chassis settings,
steering and brake response are also as good
as possible.
Power drive mode is always avail-
able regardless of the battery's state of
charge.
The
Power mode is also available in the
Polestar Engineered version*.

Using the electric motor or internal
combustion engine
An advanced control system determines the
extent to which the car is driven on internal
combustion engine, electric motor or both in
parallel.
The primary function is to use the engine or
motor and the available energy in the hybrid
battery as efficiently as possible, with regard
to the characteristics of the different drive
modes as well as the driver's request for
power via the accelerator pedal.
There are also cases where temporary limita-
tions in the system, or functions governed by
