If you thought that the 400 horsepower XC60 T8 was Volvo's answer to the Audi SQ5, you're apparently wrong, that's what the new XC60 Polestar Engineered is for. Using the same basic PHEV system, the XC60 PE dials the power up to 415 ponies, adds Öhlins adjustable dampers, fender flares for bigger tires and general aesthetic tweaks. Does the combination of upgrades make this the successor to the now-defunct R brand? Not quite.
