Which mode does the Patrol usually use?
2 Answers
For daily use, the Patrol can be set to AUTO automatic mode. When driving on city roads, the automatic mode meets the requirements. When the driver turns the knob to AUTO automatic mode, the vehicle's four-wheel drive and chassis suspension system are handed over to the onboard computer, which automatically selects the driving mode based on real-time vehicle conditions, belonging to the normal four-wheel drive mode. The Patrol has a length, width, and height of 5165mm, 1995mm, and 1955mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3075mm. Its maximum power is 205kw, and maximum torque is 394nm. In terms of power, the Patrol is equipped with a 5.6L V8 engine, featuring an intelligent all-mode four-wheel drive system.
I usually drive the Patrol in standard mode, which is perfect for city commuting or weekend drives. The throttle response is neither sluggish nor aggressive, making it easy and safe to handle. On long trips, I switch to Eco mode, which lowers the RPM and saves about 15% on fuel consumption. It also makes traffic jams less frustrating, and the best part is not having to deal with a bunch of data on the small screen—just press the button on the center console. Just remember not to use off-road mode on regular roads, as it wastes fuel and accelerates wear. You can try Snow mode for better traction in rain or snow, but there's no need to overcomplicate things for daily driving.
