The different drive modes available in your vehicle are all suitable for different scenarios and types of driving. Depending on what drive mode you select, certain driving dynamics may be affected, such as steering, suspension, braking and acceleration. Your fuel consumption and your estimated range are also affected. Different drive modes allow for different adjustable settings, related to both driving and climate.
| Hybrid | This is the default mode and is recommended for everyday use. When driving in the hybrid mode, the vehicle prioritizes using the electric motor over the gasoline engine. In certain situations or if the battery level gets too low, the engine kicks in to make sure the performance or comfort is as expected. |
| Pure | In pure mode, your vehicle prioritizes using the electric motor as much as possible. This mode is only available when the battery level is high. If the battery level gets too low, the vehicle automatically switches to the hybrid mode. If pure mode is selected when you turn the vehicle off, it's also selected the next time you start the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle starts in hybrid mode. |
| Power | In power mode, performance is prioritized over range or low fuel consumption. The power mode also alters the steering and suspension, and makes gear shifts more distinct. Both the motor and the engine are used to maximize your power and performance output, allowing for an enhanced road handling experience. |
| All-wheel drive1 | All-wheel drive mode improves traction and is recommended for use in slippery conditions or if you're towing. |
| Off-road | Off-road mode is suitable for when you're driving on rough terrain or on roads with limited accessibility. Your vehicle's suspension is raised, giving it a higher ground clearance. The off-road mode also activates hill descent control, allowing your vehicle to brake in a more controlled and active way when driving downhill. |
Note
Off-road
The off-road mode has limitations and is only available below certain driving speeds. Driving with the suspension raised is only available at speeds below 25 km/h (15 mph). By default, your vehicle's suspension automatically returns to its previous height when that speed limit is exceeded. However, hill descent control is available until you reach 40 km/h (25 mph). Driving at higher speeds automatically disables the off-road mode in full. If this happens while driving on a steep downhill gradient, the automatic braking effect from hill descent control will gradually decrease.
Your fuel consumption may increase when driving with the off-road mode selected.
The off-road mode is not designed to be used on public roads.
