How to switch to the sport mode in the Elantra?
2 Answers
To switch to the sport mode in the Elantra: There is a DriveMode button located at the left rear position of the gear shift area. Press the sport button on the dashboard to activate the sport mode. The Elantra's body dimensions are 4610mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Despite its fastback design, the rear space performance remains excellent, and the rear air conditioning vents and armrest cup holders add to the car's user-friendly features. The Elantra is equipped with three engine options: the naturally aspirated G4FL, the turbocharged G4LC, and the naturally aspirated G4LD.
I've been driving the Elantra for a few years, and switching to Sport mode is actually quite simple. After starting the car, there's usually a button near the gear shift or on the steering wheel labeled SPORT or MODE. Press it, and the dashboard will display that SPORT mode is activated. At this point, the throttle response becomes more sensitive, acceleration is quicker, and the driving experience is more exhilarating. However, I never use it in rainy or slippery conditions as it can easily cause skidding. I've also tried not activating it in city traffic jams to avoid excessive fuel consumption. Some newer Elantra models even support setting driving mode options through the central control screen, but the basic button operation is sufficient. Overall, Sport mode is suitable for highways or mountain roads, not for everyday casual use.
