This system gives drivers an ECON mode to optimize fuel efficiency36, a Sport mode for sharpened response and heightened enjoyment, and an EV mode for electric-only propulsion.
The Feature:
Drivers can press either ECON, SPORT or EV by the shift controls, depending upon the job at hand; a display in the instrument panel indicates the mode engaged.
The three-mode drive system has an effect on several functions:
Press the ECON button, and both the climate control and the Drive-By-Wire throttle system take a more relaxed route to enhance fuel efficiency.
In Sport mode, the Drive-by-Wire throttle response is powerful and direct.
In EV mode, the Insight can travel short distances powered only by the battery and electric drive motor.
