Which is faster, M mode or S mode?
1 Answers
S mode is faster, but the comfort is slightly compromised. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. D mode: It is the most widely used forward gear in automatic transmission vehicles. Its main purpose is to enable the transmission to automatically select the appropriate gear in real-time through the cooperation of the transmission computer and mechanical structure while the vehicle is moving forward, thereby eliminating the need for manual shifting and greatly freeing the driver's hands and feet, improving driving convenience, ease, and comfort. 2. S mode: In sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time, instantly delivering high torque and increasing the vehicle's power. Generally, ordinary automatic or CVT vehicles maintain the RPM around 2000, while in S mode, the shifting timing is delayed until the engine operates at its best. Vehicles with paddle shifters can even push the RPM into the red zone.
