What is the difference between the Eco mode and Standard mode of the Tayron?
3 Answers
The differences between the Eco mode and Standard mode of the Tayron are: 1. Different engine speeds: In Eco mode, the engine speed is relatively low; in Standard mode, the engine speed is relatively high. 2. Different throttle response: In Eco mode, the throttle response is relatively sluggish; in Standard mode, the throttle response is more sensitive. In Eco mode, fuel efficiency is achieved by adjusting the shift logic and limiting fuel injection, which suppresses the vehicle's power output. Even if the accelerator is pressed deeply, the vehicle will not accelerate too quickly but will gradually increase speed. In Standard mode, the engine responds more actively to the driver's throttle input, with earlier downshifts to provide high torque output during the initial acceleration phase and delayed upshifts to keep the vehicle in a very aggressive state.
As an ordinary owner of a Tayron, I often switch between the standard and eco modes, with the most noticeable differences being fuel consumption and driving feel. In standard mode, the car feels powerful, with the vehicle surging forward at the slightest press of the accelerator, making it especially handy for overtaking on highways or mountain roads, but the fuel gauge drops faster. Eco mode, on the other hand, is different—the throttle response is slower, acceleration is gentler, and gear shifts occur earlier. I use it during my daily commute in traffic jams, where it can reduce average fuel consumption by one or two points, saving a significant amount on fuel over time. In city driving with frequent traffic lights, switching to eco mode makes the car start smoothly without worrying about jerking, though it feels a bit sluggish. For long trips, switching back to standard mode is more enjoyable. Just remember not to use eco mode during heavy rain, as the reduced starting power might lead to slipping—safety first.
I've test-driven the Tayron multiple times and found that the Eco mode saves fuel by limiting engine power and shifting up earlier. Compared to the lively and responsive feel of the Standard mode, it makes driving more 'gentle.' In Standard mode, the transmission reacts quickly, delivering strong power output with noticeable acceleration when pressing the throttle. Switching to Eco mode, the car feels noticeably lazier—for example, acceleration is slower when overtaking—but this approach genuinely saves fuel, with real-world tests showing up to a 15% fuel economy improvement in city driving. The engine management system is also adjusted: Eco mode reduces high-RPM operation, minimizing carbon buildup, which benefits the engine in the long run. I recommend beginners use Standard mode to practice handling, while experienced drivers can try Eco mode for fuel savings.
