Now that I own it, what should I know about it?

2017 V60 T5, fwd. Has tech & cold weather packages, but no sport. Has the 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder, seems like 2016 was the last year of the whiteblocks. 

Looking for resources: turbobricks is aimed at much older models, swedespeed seems like the best bet so far. Looks like a polestar tune isn't available for this particular year, and most of the aftermarket tunes are $1000+

 I'm getting the sense I may have bought an oddball orphan model year...

Nice grab!  I like them.  What trim level?

We have a 2017 S60 T5 AWD, equipped that way.  Have had no issues with the new engine (although it has low miles) and it's a great driver.  I actually like the steering feel in the 2017 better that in my 2019.

There should be a Polestar tune available for your car.  Go here: https://engineered.polestar.com/us/ and enter V60 / 2017 / T5 Drive-E - looks like it adds 11% midrange hp and 14% torque.

There isn't much in the way of super active forums, but https://volvoforums.com/forum/ seems to be the best all-rounder for the newer cars.

IPD has to have stuff for that model. They are one of the biggest Volvo performance manufacturers out there.

In reply to Duke :

I saw that polestar tune, is it ONLY for the drive-e? This one is a Premier. 

Also not sure how much that polestar tune is...might be worth it if it remaps the transmission as well

 

 

In reply to kevinatfms :

Checked IPD as well, they have no tunes listed for 2017 cars

In reply to calteg :

"Drive-E" is basically just Volvo's name for the post-whiteblock 2.0.

The Polestar tunes are usually around $1100 installed.  Not sure if you can do it yourself or if they require dealer-level electronics to do it.   I suspect they do.
