Which mode should be used for Haval Big Dog on the highway?
2 Answers
Haval Big Dog uses Sport mode on the highway. Below is the relevant introduction of Haval Big Dog: 1. Design: Full of vitality, the Big Dog adopts a more personalized and rugged design language, featuring a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a D-shaped large touchscreen for human-machine interaction, a co-pilot grab handle identical to that of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and a more refined rotary electronic gear lever with retro-style air vents. Although it is a light off-road vehicle, it excels in terms of technological sophistication. It offers six driving modes: Economy/Standard/Sport/Sand/Mud/Snow, and may also be equipped with the new-generation L2.9 intelligent driving assistance system. 2. Engine: According to official information, the Big Dog is built on an all-new platform and will be powered by the same 2.0T or 1.5T engines and transmissions as current Haval models. Surprisingly, the 2.0T version will offer a four-wheel-drive model (with an optional rear differential lock configuration).
When driving my Haval Big Dog on the highway, I often use the fuel-saving mode, which helps me save a lot on gas money and makes the ride smoother. In city traffic, I occasionally switch to sport mode for some fun, but on the highway where the speed is consistent, the economy mode is the best choice. The engine output is smoother, reducing the abruptness of sudden acceleration, and it also helps extend the fuel efficiency. Once on a long trip, I used the economy mode the entire way and got an extra 20 kilometers out of a full tank—definitely worth it. Remember to regularly check if the tire pressure is optimal to maximize the mode's effectiveness. Highway safety is the top priority, so stay in your lane and avoid distractions.
