If I understand you correctly, for normal every day driving "eco" mode is the way to go, but if on a 400 series highway select "smart" mode to provide greater immediate response should it be needed?

I got kia telluride couple of weeks ago and have been driving in ECO mode and the MPG it was giving me was around 18 then I changed the drive mode to comfort and the MPG bumped to 24-25. I Agree it depends on how you drive

Yes

[@lavavava]

Just bought a KIA Sorento 2023 (GL Spec in Brunei Darussalam). Thank you for the information on Fuel Saving. I will definitely be using Smart Mode from now on.😄

[@mkanyuh]

I cannot recommend smart/ECO mode period ...on my Tucson if I pull out onto a road...the throttle is sooo unresponsive I have to floor it to keep from getting rear ended because the car crawls ....and this is leaving a normally safe margin for the approaching cars....normal mode works great and I get 34mpg in mixed driving....if traffic is super tight and I need to get out and going rapidly...I use sport mode and it is very nicely responsive without high revs....each car is different of course...so test yours out so you don't get caught short.

[@davidthompson3434]

Excellent video! I would be interested to know how your advice sits with the regular dpf regeneration I experience every 1000 miles or so which has been a feature of my diesel Optima since circa 12000 miles. I have been tending to drive in sport mode for higher revs to assist this process.

[@BrantfordKia]

We don't have diesel Kia vehicles here in Canada. So I could give my thoughts, but they wouldn't be based on material that I've studied. I'm not sure that I'm comfortable giving on opinion in writing on this public space.

[@Target135]

Can you make a video that explains in great detail how the sorento PHEV drives in the various drive modes. A reviewer I was watching complained that in no mode (even EV) could you ensure that it wouldn’t use the gas engine. But they were flooring the gas, so I’m guessing it can’t floor in EV mode no matter what. I would also like some info on how much HP and torque is available in various drive modes for example if you’re driving on only EV and not flooring it, how much power is available to the EV motor without the gas engine

[@gurpreettoor713]

Hello Guys, Is there any way I can set smart mode as my sorento's default mode setting. So everytime I turn my car on and I don't have to manually change it to smart mode. Thank you

Hello I have a late 2019 Kia Sorento and it seems that I do not have the "wireless" version of Carplay (for iOS). Q1 Do I have to plug in to the USB? Q2 Will an update to Firmware and Software via SD Card add this wireless facility which appears to be there on 2020/21 version. Strangely my old 2014 Sorento connected automatically so that I could use Voice Control button to make phone calls to my contacts. On both cars Bluetooth is working correctly.

[@BrantfordKia]

The 2019 Kia Sorento does not have wireless Apple CarPlay, the newer cars with the 8 inch screens do have that. I haven't heard of any software update that will allow the feature to work on previous model year vehicles, so I wouldn't expect it.

[@Mikeyp1054]

That's the whole point of eco mode if you drive properly and stick to the legal speed limits etc which it'll be suited for, so no offence... You're talking nonsense though you're entitled to your opinion but you're contradicting every mode saying if you do this and if you do that. Eco mode IS the most economical driving mode fact

[@moboy4779]

Which drive mode saves the most fuel? ECO, Sport or Smart? Hmmmmmmmm, let me think about that. LOL

[@randyscott1496]

I have been driving in smart mode on my Seltos for awhile now. When I want to save fuel I just keep it in the green

[@BrantfordKia]

Yes. How you drive determines how much fuel you use, but the Smart mode will work with an efficient driver to save fuel.

[@BeeRumblin13]

2021 sorento fwd S owner here. Question. Why when im in sport and try pulling onto the road from a stop with some speed does it rev so high it seems like something is gunna explode? I like the sport mode but it seems like its not meant for a 4 cylinder from dead stop to go.

[@BrantfordKia]

Sport mode is designed to keep the revs up in order to keep the vehicle in its powerband. In general, I don't recommend that people drive all the time in sport mode in the more mainstream cars. It usually uses more fuel then people want, and the overall driveability isn't as smooth.

[@d.supreme8592]

I have a 2021 K5 GT line. My car wasn’t equipped with UVO technology or a nav integration, is that something that can be implemented at the dealership with a software upgrade or it’s just out of the question for me at this point

Yeah, if the car doesn't come with UVO Intelligence or Navigation, those can't be added in the future.

[@BrantfordKia]

If you drive economically anyways, then yes, Eco will work best with you to save fuel. Thanks for sharing!

[@dgattenb]

[@BrantfordKia]

In Canada, we don't have paddle shifting regeneration on our Niro Hybrid, it's only on our Niro EV.

[@russellwalden7442]

So if smart mode saves you on fuel, why do they put Eco mode in a car like mine a 2020 Sedona LX if it doesn’t help your fuel mileage?

[@BrantfordKia]

No, eco mode will definitely save you fuel, but you need to drive economically to get the benefit of that mode. If you drive aggressively, eco mode will resist the downshift as long as is reasonable, and then as the driver searches for more power by pressing the throttle further, the car will downshift aggressively and rev, potentially up to redline. Smart mode can help you maximize efficiency by helping you stay in eco mode, but if you need power it will avoid that high revving by sensing what you're trying to do. For many people, smart mode will get you the best real world fuel efficiency. Eco mode is great if you drive efficiently at all times. Smart mode is often better for the rest of us. Re-watch the video, to see what I'm saying, hopefully it will make more sense with this context.

[@BrantfordKia]

It's all about how it feels to you. The Smart mode is going to put it into an ECO mode, unless you really get into the pedal. It's the mode that I recommend on that car for economy. Some people find the throttle to be a little lazy in any version of an eco mode, so if you feel that, then Normal mode would be better suited to you, and of course Sport mode makes the car a little more... immediate. Quicker reactions etc.

Right you are. I finally realized the cluster color scheme on startup was that of the Smart mode.

I believe that the PHEV's start in Eco mode, but to be fair, it doesn't have the same affect from the driver's seat as it would in a gasoline car. In a gasoline car, the car can resist downshifting in ECO mode, but in the PHEV you have that torque available, so driveability in that mode should still be fine.

I always disable this feature. It's a waste of time. For the little bit of fuel it may save, and I doubt it saves any fuel at all, it's not worth the aggravation of having the engine stop/start every time you come to a stop. This feature just makes the tree huggers feel better.

Hi there. What are your thoughts on driving mode on the 2021 Elantra Preferred? It does not have smart mode. Just normal, sport and eco

[@BrantfordKia]

Those modes are simply designed to work with you. I usually drive in the ECO or Normal modes, the Sport is usually best just for more aggressive driving as it can lead to worse fuel economy. I would see which one works best for you. Eco works great if you drive relatively economically, but if you're a lead-foot, you may find that it doesn't shift when you want it to, and it fights what you're trying to do. Normal mode is great for most drivers, and Sport is good to make the car feel a little more peppy.

I can't notice much difference between Comfort and Sport. In Sport it revs higher, but doesn't use any more fuel. So it must be smart enough to inject less fuel when it's cruising at constant speed.

If it's revving higher, it's using more fuel, so I think over the long haul, you'll notice the difference. The Sport mode keeps things in the powerband more so than the other modes.

Best for fuel for the 2021 Kia Sportage ex premium S? Thank you

Same principal applies. If you drive efficiently, the ECO mode will work with you to get the best fuel economy. In that vehicle, if you're driving aggressively and you notice that the car resists downshifts but then revs excessively, you may find that the comfort (or normal) mode is the one that will return the best real world fuel efficiency.

That's true. In the Niro, the Eco mode is the default and you can switch to sport mode. In that case, it's pretty obvious which mode will work with you the best to get exceptional fuel economy. What we find is some people think they can drive with a lead-foot and expect the eco mode to save them fuel. It doesn't work like that, and the Smart mode can actually help coach people into better habits.

[@BrantfordKia]

If your tires are properly inflated, this usually occurs because you don't have tire pressure monitors in your set of winter tires. If the car can't read the monitors, it will tell you that you have an issue. You can solve this by having monitors installed in your tires, but if you don't do that, you'll see the light on. When you return to your all season tires, the light will go off, and you will, once again, be able to see the exact pressure in each individual tire.

We don't have that model here in Canada yet. With hybrid vehicles, I find that most of my driving can be done in ECO and because of the electric torque, the eco mode provides the driving experience that I want, while still giving me the best mileage.

do exterior mirrors retract when stopping a Tucson 2022 luxery plug in

[@BrantfordKia]

The Tucson mirrors do not power fold to the best of my knowledge.

Great videos. I have a 2020 kia sportage sport. Can I change the headlight bulbs to leds for better visibility? Thanks

[@BrantfordKia]

I think you could... but I'm not the one to advise you on that. There are some aftermarket LED packages that are not very good, so I wouldn't want to advise you on how, or what to do.

[@ipilot642]

I have the same car. I asked the service manager where I bought mine at and he said you could but he doesn't recommend it. Something about the electrical system wasn't made for leds and they will just be trouble.

Eco for traffic Smart mode for regular driving 😊 While Sport mode when u haven't had your coffee yet And Comfort when u see cop cars with radar gun ... 😅 Or at school & residential zones ✌✌❤

Haha! Sounds like you've got a system!

How about for a 2015 KIA Soul Plus edition?

[@BrantfordKia]

I'm not sure what you're asking me about?

[@georgewhiplemyerjr.9165]

@@BrantfordKia sorry. I was wondering if I should keep my 2015 soul plus in eco mode? Of sport, comfort or normal. That is the options for that year. The salesman when I bought it said keep it in eco and normal mode unless I need power. Then just turn off eco mode he said.

[@BrantfordKia]

@@georgewhiplemyerjr.9165 With those cars, I always tell people to drive where they feel comfortable. Some people drive in ECO mode all the time and find it to be perfect. Some people don't like the way that mode dulls the throttles. Others don't like the way that the Power mode is jumpy on the throttle, and uses more fuel. It really just depends on what you prefer.
