Does the New Bora require holding the button to shift from D to S gear?

New Bora requires holding the button to shift from D to S gear. The S gear is the vehicle's sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed to achieve greater torque output and acceleration. Other gear positions include: P for parking, where the gear lever must be shifted into P when the car is parked; R for reverse; N for neutral. Taking the Bora 2021 1.5L Manual Comfort Smart Link Edition as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan under FAW-Volkswagen, with a top speed of 190 km/h, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and uses front-wheel drive.

I've been driving the new Bora for quite a while now, and when you want to shift from D to S gear, you don't need to press that button at all—just push the gear lever directly to the S position. The S gear is the sport mode, which raises the engine RPM for more aggressive acceleration, making overtaking especially thrilling. Just remember to ensure the car is stationary or moving at low speed when shifting gears; avoid shifting at high speeds—safety first. I've tried it a few times, and the operation is simple and smooth. The new model is designed very user-friendly, eliminating extra steps for convenient daily driving. If you often drive on mountain roads or highways, shifting to S gear boosts performance but also consumes more fuel, so use it appropriately. In short, just push the lever confidently—it's nothing complicated.

As a new driver, I was always afraid of pressing the wrong buttons when learning the New Bora. But my instructor said shifting from D to S gear doesn't require pressing any buttons - just push the gear lever over. S stands for Sport mode, which makes the car run more powerfully, and the operation is super simple, so no need to worry about forgetting steps. Remember to slow down or stop before shifting gears, and don't get distracted while driving. The car's design is very user-friendly, with buttons mainly used for reverse gear and similar functions. I relied on this technique when I first started, and found it easy to learn and use. With a bit more practice, you'll get used to it quickly.

After years of car enthusiasm, I've found that with the new Bora, you can directly shift to S mode by pushing the gear lever without pressing any buttons. The S mode switches smoothly and responds immediately, enhancing the driving pleasure. However, always prioritize safety—ensure the speed is low before shifting and avoid doing so in congested areas. This design stems from a simplified transmission system, making it hassle-free and efficient.
