AWD
•
Improve the car's roadholding and traction
with enhanced all-wheel drive.
The drive mode locks the car in all-wheel drive.
An optimal distribution between the front and
rear axle torque gives the best traction, stability
and roadholding, for example on slippery roads,
when driving with a heavy trailer, or when towing.
AWD drive mode is always available regardless of
the battery's state of charge.
Both the internal combustion engine and electric
motor are engaged in order to drive all four
wheels, which results in increased fuel consump-
tion.
In the car's other drive modes, the car automati-
cally adapts the need for all-wheel drive to the
road surface, and can engage the electric motor
or start the internal combustion engine when
necessary.
POWER
•
Power mode means that the car has sportier
characteristics and faster response to accel-
erating.
The drive mode maximises the combined power
from the internal combustion engine and electric
motor by means of the car being driven by both
front and rear wheels. The gear changes become
faster and more distinct, and the gearbox prioriti-
ses a gear with greater traction. Steering
response is faster and shock absorption is
harder.
Both the internal combustion engine and electric
motor are engaged in order to drive all four
wheels, which results in increased fuel consump-
tion.
The drive mode is optimised for maximum per-
formance and response during acceleration. It
changes the internal combustion engine's accel-
erator pedal response, gear shift pattern and
boost pressure system. Chassis settings, steering
and brake response are also optimised. Power
drive mode is always available regardless of the
battery's state of charge.
INDIVIDUAL
•
Adapting a drive mode according to individ-
ual preferences.
Select a drive mode to start from, and then adjust
the settings according to the desired driving cha-
racteristics. These settings are saved in an indi-
vidual driver profile.
An individual drive mode is only available if it is
first activated in the centre display.
