Which mode should the ix35 normally use for driving?
2 Answers
ix35 normally uses Comfort mode for driving. The relevant introduction about ix35 driving modes is as follows: 1. Standard Mode: Vehicle performance tends to be balanced, adapting to most road conditions, with a good driving experience. Throttle response is reasonable, and comfort is good. 2. Sport Mode: Power response is very active. The transmission shifts gears only when the engine reaches higher RPMs, providing excellent power performance. Dynamic mode has the advantage of clearing engine carbon deposits. 3. Comfort Mode: The suspension performance is softer and more linear, steering response is improved, and body stability is further enhanced. When passing over speed bumps or applying brakes and throttle, it offers better smoothness and comfort, with more prominent cushioning ability. Power delivery is gentle, without any noticeable jerking sensation.
I usually drive the ix35 for commuting or weekend trips, and I use the Eco mode for normal driving. The throttle response is gentler, the engine isn't too aggressive, and the fuel-saving effect is noticeable—I can get dozens of extra kilometers per tank in city traffic. Combined with light acceleration and early throttle release, the fuel consumption drops quickly. It also performs well on highways, with lower wind resistance for better efficiency. Unless I encounter mountain roads or want some excitement while overtaking, I switch to Sport mode, but for daily driving, Eco is the most practical—it saves my wallet. Over time, I've developed the habit of driving smoothly and economically, and even the mechanics praise this mode for being engine-friendly and extending its lifespan. In short, it's suitable for both city commuting and long-distance trips—safe and economical.
