Xingyue offers three driving modes: Eco mode, Comfort mode, and Sport mode. Among these three driving modes, there is a significant difference in throttle sensitivity. For daily urban driving, Eco mode is naturally the best choice to improve fuel economy, while Sport mode is the first choice for highway driving or when overtaking is needed. Additional information is as follows: Body dimensions: The Geely Xingyue is a coupe SUV based on the CMA architecture. In terms of body dimensions, the Geely Xingyue measures 4605/1878/1643mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Powertrain: In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with the JLH-3G15TD 1.5T engine and Volvo's 2.0TD engine, with maximum power outputs of 177 horsepower (130 kW) and 238 horsepower (175 kW), respectively.

That day during the test drive of the Xingyue, I finally understood the three driving modes: ECO Economy mode accelerates smoothly with light throttle input, and the dashboard turns green, which is quite fuel-efficient; COMFORT mode is the most commonly used, with lighter steering and quieter engine noise, making it effortless to drive in traffic jams; SPORT mode revs up quickly, downshifts aggressively with noticeable acceleration, making highway overtaking exhilarating. I usually use Comfort mode in the city, switch to Sport mode on expressways, and turn on ECO when I want to save fuel—just a twist of the center console knob to switch. The dashboard color also changes with the mode, so red, blue, or green instantly tells you the current status.

After two years with the Xingyue, I've mastered its three driving modes. In Eco mode, the throttle feels sluggish, but the fuel efficiency is genuinely impressive – a full tank can take you an extra 50-60 kilometers. Comfort mode offers light and responsive steering, with minimal bumpiness over speed bumps, earning praise from my wife for its smooth ride. Sport mode transforms the car entirely – the engine roar is clearly audible through the glass, and overtaking in a hurry feels exceptionally decisive. To switch modes, you must stop and shift to P gear, then turn the silver ring on the center console; the instrument panel's background color changes noticeably as a result. Note: Avoid using Sport mode in rainy conditions as the tires are prone to slipping.

After studying the Xingyue's driving system, the three modes are essentially power response gradations. The Eco mode limits power output and even reduces air conditioning power automatically. Comfort mode balances performance and energy consumption, with the lightest steering assist. Sport mode delays upshifts to maintain higher RPMs, and the suspension stiffens for better support. On mountain roads, switching to Sport mode noticeably improves cornering stability, but fuel consumption soars to 13L/100km. It's recommended for beginners to use Comfort mode more often, while experienced drivers can freely switch according to road conditions. Remember, the manual reminds that switching modes should be done when the vehicle is completely stationary.

The three driving modes of the Xingyue differ significantly: in Eco mode, the throttle response is slightly delayed, but it shifts up at just 1500 rpm, making it particularly fuel-efficient; Comfort mode feels like a regular family car, with adequate power and agile steering; Sport mode is the most exhilarating, with a deep press of the throttle directly dropping two gears and revs soaring to 4000 rpm for a strong push-back sensation. Tried Sport mode on the highway, and overtaking was crisp and decisive. To switch modes, you need to long-press the central control driving mode button until the dashboard displays a red 'S' for it to take effect. However, frequent use of Sport mode makes the fuel gauge visibly drop faster.

My colleague's Xingyue often lends me to drive. In Eco mode, the throttle feels like stepping into cotton, suitable for laid-back drivers. Comfort mode offers just the right power response, with excellent vibration filtering by the chassis, making family trips comfortable. Sport mode is quite aggressive, maintaining the RPM in the power band without even needing paddle shifters, making it very responsive for mountain roads and sharp turns. Switching modes requires stopping the car and turning the knob all the way until you hear a beep. It's recommended to use Comfort mode during urban rush hours, Sport mode on highways with less traffic, and Eco mode for fuel-efficient long-distance drives.
