How to Switch Driving Modes in the Elantra?
2 Answers
The method to switch driving modes in the Elantra is: the "drivemode" button next to the gear shift is the driving mode switch button, simply press it. Taking the Elantra 2021 1.5L CVT GLS Leading Edition as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan under Beijing Hyundai, equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, with a top speed of 190 km/h. The Elantra 2021 1.5L CVT GLS Leading Edition has a length, width, and height of 4680mm, 1810mm, and 1415mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The engine's maximum torque is 143.9 Nm, with the maximum torque speed at 4500 rpm, and it uses front-wheel drive.
As an owner of a Hyundai Elantra, I'm quite familiar with switching driving modes. The mode switching in the Elantra is usually straightforward: there's a Drive Mode button near the gear shift or steering wheel, labeled with 'Drive Mode.' Press it, and the current mode, such as Eco, Normal, or Sport, will be displayed on the dashboard. Normally, I use Normal mode for a balanced and fuel-efficient drive; in traffic jams, I switch to Eco mode for softer throttle response to reduce fuel consumption; on highways, I occasionally use Sport mode for quicker acceleration and a more dynamic feel. Remember not to switch modes during sharp turns or in hazardous areas to avoid distraction and ensure safety. Mode changes affect the vehicle's overall dynamic performance, including transmission shift logic and engine output, so experimenting with different settings helps find what works best for you. Prolonged use of Sport mode may slightly increase fuel consumption, but overall, it's a practical feature.
