Damping
The shock absorbers control the car's body movements as required while also isolating uneven parts of the road. The aim of this is to provide as much comfort and function as possible while driving.
Manually adjustable shock absorbers
The Polestar 1 is fitted with Öhlins adjustable shock absorbers. There are three recommended positions for front and rear shock absorber settings. Besides the factory setting Performance, there is a harder setting, Performance +, and a softer setting, Dynamic.
Performance +
Performance + mode makes the car's damping feel harder. This mode is suitable for driving on smooth roads and works well together with the Power mode.
Performance
The Performance mode is suitable for daily driving on public roads. The mode is the car's factory setting.
Dynamic
The Dynamic mode provides softer damping that minimises road disruption while maintaining control.
