What is the purpose of the Civic's S gear?
1 Answers
Civic's S gear is the sport mode, which is suitable for aggressive driving or overtaking. After engaging the S gear, the operating modes of both the engine and transmission will change. When the S gear is engaged, the transmission will remain in lower gears without upshifting, and will only upshift when the RPM reaches the redline zone. Engaging the S gear will increase the engine's RPM, providing quicker power response. However, fuel consumption will also increase because the engine will spend more time in the high RPM range. The Civic is a compact sedan under Honda, featuring a stylish and sleek exterior design with significant changes compared to the previous model, including a hatchback-style appearance. The interior of the Civic is finely crafted, with a fashionable and layered design, rich functional configurations, and comfortable seating.
