        To drive how you want to drive

        Switch between different vehicle characteristics to suit driving conditions or even the driver. Only the “SI-DRIVE” advanced driving control system makes this possible. The engine and transmission* are both controlled with a computer, and a single switch can be used to select one of three driving profiles, ranging from gentle power delivery to a sporty mode with super sharp response.

        Intelligent Mode

        Gentle power delivery. Ideal for cruising around town and local streets, covering long distances, or for driving with fuel efficiency in mind. Provides outstanding control in the rain or on snowy roads.

        Sport Mode

        Highly responsive and direct acceleration. In addition to being suited to all-round conditions, this mode puts the enjoyment back in to high-speed driving on motorways, or on winding roads.

        Sport Sharp Mode

        The mode with the most powerful engine characteristics, offering quick acceleration and sharp response. Ideal for merging or overtaking on motorways, or for enjoying sporty driving anytime, this mode unleashes the maximum potential of the vehicle.
