Pure progressive performance

Polestar is continuously developing the systems in the cars and the services offered to you. Software updates in your car can give you access to many new functions and improvements. The car's software can be updated to the latest version via Over-the-Air (OTA) or in connection with service at an authorised Polestar workshop. You will be informed in the centre display when new software is available via Over-the-Air (OTA). Go to the app view, then "Settings" (icon), "System" and "Software update" to see the current software version.
