Does Using Sport Mode on Highways Damage the Car?
1 Answers
Using sport mode on highways can damage the car. In sport mode, the speed drops quickly when you release the throttle, whereas in normal mode, the car continues to coast much farther. Sport mode is equivalent to driving in a lower gear with higher throttle input, which increases fuel consumption, and aggressive driving can harm the engine. Differences between sport mode and eco mode: 1. Sport mode: Its main function is to increase engine RPM and delay gear shifts. 2. Eco mode: Its biggest advantage is fuel efficiency. However, it has two drawbacks: first, the throttle response is sluggish—stepping on the accelerator results in a slow RPM increase, making the car feel sluggish. Second, it tends to produce more carbon buildup.
