Drive modes
The drive modes change the driving dynamics of your car and which settings are available.
The different drive modes available in your car 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.
Your selected drive mode is shown above the selected gear in the driver display.
The car has five drive modes:
| Hybrid | This is the default mode and is recommended for everyday use. It's also selected automatically every time you start the car. When driving in the hybrid mode, the car prioritises using the motor over the 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 car prioritises using the motor as much as possible. This mode is only available when the battery level is high. If the battery level gets too low, the car automatically switches to the hybrid mode. |
| Power | In power mode, performance is prioritised over range or low fuel consumption. Both the motor and the engine are used to maximise your power and performance output. |
| All-wheel drive1 | The all-wheel drive mode improves traction and is recommended for use in slippery conditions or if you're towing. |
| Off-road | The off-road mode is suitable for when you're driving on rough terrain or on roads with limited accessibility. It's only available at speeds up to 40 km/h (25 mph) and your fuel consumption may increase when driving with this mode selected. |
Note
The off-road mode is not suitable for driving on public roads.
