What is the difference between L and S gears in a car?
1 Answers
The main differences between L and S gears in a car are: 1. Different nature: L gear is the low gear; S gear is the sport gear. 2. Different characteristics: In S gear (sport mode), the transmission delays upshifting, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time, allowing the car to move at low gear and high RPM for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. In L gear, the car will not upshift and will continue to move forward at high RPM and low gear, which is better for towing loads. 3. Different functions: L gear can be used to control speed, climb slopes with heavy loads, and increase traction on muddy roads. S gear can be used for overtaking and accelerating, fully unleashing the engine's power.
