Different Driving Modes In Kia and Their Working

Kia’s constant focus on delivering the best driving experience goes a step ahead with introducing different drive modes. However, if you’re not sure how these drive modes work, then it’s time to understand what they represent and how you can use them to your benefit.

 

Kia Driving Modes Table/Chart

 

Driving Mode Top Feature
Eco Mode Advanced fuel efficiency
Sport Mode Maximum power and performance
Comfort Mode Smoother ride, acceleration and easier steering
Smart Mode Automatic switching between modes
Snow Mode Better traction and grip

 

Eco Mode

Eco Mode

 

As the name suggests, the Eco Mode helps you save on fuel costs. This mode is accessible by shifting your transmission to achieve a lower RPM. Of course, higher performance will require a higher RPM which will burn more fuel, but the Eco Mode helps save fuel smartly by turning off the engine when idle and starting when the car begins to go in motion.

 

Sport Mode

Sport Mode

 

If you enjoy speed (as long as you’re careful), the Sport Mode is something you’ll enjoy. It boosts performance by shifting the car to a higher RPM. While this mode is not the most fuel-efficient, it will give you the thrills of fast travel.

 

Comfort Mode

 

If you know the difference between a soft and hard suspension and what a stiff suspension feels like on bumpy roads, you will enjoy driving in Comfort Mode. This mode comforts and softens the suspension to absorb the pressure. This helps provide smoother acceleration and comfortable travel.

 

Smart Mode

Smart Mode

 

While this mode isn’t available will all Kia models, it’s something you might want to consider with your next Kia purchase. First, the mode identifies your driving style and road conditions. Then, it automatically optimizes various systems in the car, including your suspension and speed, to switch from any of the other modes for a more efficient drive. 

 

Snow Mode

Snow Mode

 

If you’re in Canada, you know how important a Snow Mode can be. When that blanket of snow covers the road, it can get challenging to get a good grip, and that’s where the Snow Mode optimizes the traction control, along with the power distribution, to deliver a better grip.

 

Kia Driving Modes in Each Model

 

The Kia Sportage, Sorento, K5, Seltos, and Soul come with the Eco and Sport Mode. The Kia Telluride has Sport, Comfort, Eco, and Snow Mode. The Kia Stringer is the only car with all modes and an additional custom mode, which you can use to create your drive mode based on your preferences.
