Can some one give me some clarification on the 2018 drive modes?
my vehicle SEL Plus all wheel drive has : Comfort, Sport and Smart - Thanks in advance
PS - I have tried both the Comfort and Smart mode and don't feel much difference,
Any information would be appreciated :
Not sure why no replies to your query. I have a 2019 Limited AWD 2.4L so suspect (other than winter when AWD kicks in) our mode controls are the same in your SEL. Refer to your owners manual section 5-51 for more in depth words but the summary is:
In NORMAL mode the engine and transmission control logic work together to provide regular daily driving performance with some fuel efficiency. [NORMAL and COMFORT mode are the same.]
SPORT mode manages the driving dynamics by automatically adjusting the steering effort, and the engine and transmission control logic for enhanced driving performance.
SMART mode selects the proper driving mode between NORMAL and SPORT by judging the driver's driving habits (i.e. Economical or Aggressive) from the brake pedal depression or the steering wheel operation.
I leave mine in Smart most of the time unless I'm in rush hour urban freeway I'll switch it to SPORT. Amazing change in performance & handling, but gas mileage is affected big time.
