Which mode is more fuel-efficient for the Fista?

[AdrianaFitz]

Fista's Eco (ECO) mode is relatively more fuel-efficient. Below are the specific introductions to the driving modes: 1. NORMAL mode: Achieves the best balance between fuel economy and power performance. Suitable for urban driving. 2. SPORT mode: Controls the transmission and engine for quick and powerful acceleration. This mode also alters the steering feel, making it suitable for situations requiring agile driving responses, such as driving on winding roads. When Sport mode is selected, the "SPORT" indicator on the multi-information display will light up. 3. ECO mode: Helps drivers accelerate in an environmentally friendly manner and improves fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics and control of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling). When Eco mode is selected, the "ECO-MODE" indicator on the multi-information display will light up. When the air conditioning is in use, the system automatically switches to the air conditioning Eco mode for better fuel economy.

I've been driving my Fista for over a year now, and the Eco mode is definitely the most fuel-efficient. As a daily commuter car, I often use ECO mode for my work commute, switching it on by pressing the button on the left side of the steering wheel—the light indicates activation. Once activated, the throttle response becomes smoother, acceleration isn't too aggressive, but fuel consumption noticeably drops. When driving in congested city traffic, my average fuel consumption decreased from 7L to just over 6L per 100km. It's even more economical on highway cruises, reaching around 5.5L. This saves me over 100 yuan per month on fuel costs, keeping more money in my pocket. Plus, the system is intelligently optimized—less hard braking and sudden acceleration reduces engine load, protecting components and extending their lifespan. I recommend new car owners give it a try; once you develop the habit, the car drives even smoother.

The Fiesta's ECO mode saves fuel by optimizing engine and transmission operations. It restricts throttle response delay, allows the computer to control rapid upshifts, and maintains low RPM ranges to avoid high energy consumption. For example, urban driving at 40km/h achieves peak efficiency, reducing fuel consumption by approximately 15%. Air conditioning output is also optimized to minimize unnecessary idling, significantly aiding long-term fuel savings. Operation is simple—just press the central ECO button after startup. However, remember to deactivate it during steep climbs or heavy loads, switching to normal mode to prevent insufficient power. Tests show that proper usage can save over 500 yuan annually in fuel costs, making it highly recommended.

As a Fista owner, the Eco mode is super fuel-efficient and cost-saving. Driving in the city with ECO activated reduces my fuel consumption from 7.5L to just over 6L per 100km, allowing me to travel dozens of extra kilometers on a full tank. This saves me hundreds in monthly fuel costs, and over time, the savings can even cover maintenance expenses. The mode switch button is on the center console—just press it, and the light turns on to activate. Acceleration becomes gentler without needing extra attention. Remember, it works best in traffic jams, and driving unloaded on flat roads maximizes savings. New drivers can start with this mode to develop fuel-efficient habits, making the car more durable in the long run.
