Driving characteristics

The driving characteristics, including steering, acceleration and braking, vary depending on the drive mode being used.

Drive mode

A drive mode can be selected based on personal needs such as comfort, performance, or economy. To change drive mode, navigate to Settings> Quick settings. You can also toggle between drive modes with the MODE button below the center display.

Drive modeDescription
ComfortThis is the standard mode, which provides the most comfortable experience.
EcoThis mode is the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
SportThis mode favors high performance. The car will accelerate faster and the brakes will be more sensitive.
Individual1This mode can be edited by the user to their own preferences by pressing the Customize individual drive mode icon icon in the drive modes menu.
SnowThis mode gives a better driving experience in snowy conditions.
Off road2This mode gives a better driving experience in rough terrain and poor road conditions. This mode is not available when driving over 40 km/h.

1Certain settings are unavailable while towing a trailer.

2Electronic stability control is deactivated when off road is selected.

Note
Adaptive cruise control is unavailable in the snow and off road modes.
Note
Snow and off road modes should only be used in the appropriate conditions.

If the car is in inactive power mode, the car reverts to comfort drive mode if the doors are closed with all seats unoccupied and nothing detected inside the car.

Regenerative braking

Regenerative braking turns the braking energy into electric current and stores it in the high voltage battery, which charges the battery level. This is achieved in two ways: by braking or by releasing the accelerator pedal. Information on energy recovery during regenerative braking is displayed in the driver display.

To change the energy regeneration level, navigate to Settings Driving.

Regenerative braking limitations

Several factors may limit the energy recovered through regenerative braking. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The electric motor has limited torque.
  • The high voltage battery is fully charged.
  • Driving at low speeds.
  • ESC or ABS are triggered.

Braking assist

The braking assist setting determines the feel of the brake pedal. It can be adjusted between Comfort, Standard, and Sport. Comfort provides a smoother braking feel, ideal for city driving. Sport provides more responsive braking for an enhanced braking experience. Standard provides a balance between comfort and responsiveness, making it suitable for everyday driving.

To change the braking assist level, navigate to Settings Driving.
