What Does S Gear Mean?
1 Answers
Car S gear is the sport mode of a car. Many automatic transmission cars are equipped with an S gear, and some high-end models of A-class cars also feature an S gear design. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, allowing the car to maintain high RPM at lower gears for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. While driving, simply push the gear lever into the S gear position, which is typically used for climbing slopes and quick overtaking. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer duration with increased fuel injection. As a result, fuel consumption in S gear mode is higher than in normal mode.
