What does 'sport' mean in Chinese for cars?
1 Answers
It refers to the sport mode of a car, the sport gear, which is essentially a performance-prioritized shifting mode set for automatic transmissions. In sport mode: The transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to travel at low gear and high RPM for an extended time, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. Disadvantages of sport mode: Although the advantages of sport mode provide exciting performance enhancements, it masks the downsides brought by the increased engine power: potential reduction in gasoline mileage.
