How to Turn Off Hyundai's ECO Mode?

Methods to turn off Hyundai's ECO mode: 1. Press the vehicle's one-touch start button; 2. Next to the vehicle's center console armrest, on the right side of the steering wheel, there is a DRIVEMODE button that can switch the vehicle's driving mode and also serves as the ECO switch; 3. After pressing the DRIVEMODE button, the vehicle's dashboard turns blue, indicating that the ECO mode is turned off. The Hyundai Verna has a body length, width, and height of 4300mm, 1705mm, and 1460mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. It is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This engine has a maximum power output of 70kW and a maximum torque of 132.4Nm.

Hey, I also experienced the issue with the ECO mode when driving a Hyundai Sonata before. It helped save fuel but felt too sluggish, especially when climbing hills—the car lacked power. The way to turn it off is simple: just press the green leaf icon button on the center console. If you can't find the button, go to the "Drive Mode" menu on the infotainment screen and select "Normal" or "Sport." After turning it off, the throttle response becomes much sharper, making overtaking easier. But don’t forget, ECO mode is great for stop-and-go traffic—it helps reduce fuel waste. I commute 50 km daily, and switching modes flexibly makes driving more comfortable and safer. Give it a try—finding the driving style that suits you best is what matters most.

I usually drive a Hyundai Elantra for commuting and picking up the kids, and the ECO mode really saves fuel and money. Once when I was in a hurry and found overtaking too slow, I learned to turn it off: there's a small leaf button on the center console, just press it lightly to deactivate. After turning it off, the air conditioning works faster, and the car cools down more quickly. If you're on the highway or in a hurry, it might be safer to turn it off for stronger throttle response. But I recommend keeping ECO on during smooth commutes for better cost-efficiency. After using it for several years, I've developed a habit of checking the mode, which helps with vehicle maintenance.

I value fuel efficiency when driving a Hyundai, and the ECO mode helps save fuel and is environmentally friendly. But a friend asked how to turn it off: press the central control button or go to the screen and select Driving Mode OFF. Turning it off makes acceleration faster but increases fuel consumption, so think twice before disabling it. Considering the environment is more important.

I've driven Hyundai cars for over a decade. To turn off ECO mode depends on the model: older models like Elantra have a physical button; newer models like Tucson require turning it off in the central control screen settings. It's simple to operate with just a press, and the throttle response improves, making it suitable for long-distance driving. After turning it off, adjusting your driving style can help balance safety.
