The throttle response has been recalibrated to provide improved feedback and accelerator reaction - ideal for overtaking or during active driving on a twisty road.
The engine and gearbox have been calibrated to provide faster responses when the driver suddenly lifts off the throttle, providing improved predictability and control. *Automatic gearbox only.
The gearshift speed has been increased, allowing the car to accelerate faster and react more directly to driver input. *Automatic gearbox only.
The gearshift has been optimised to provide a more precise driving experience with faster acceleration. Gearshift points have been calibrated to utilise the optimised mid-range engine performance, while the gear hold function maintains the same gear (wherever possible) when cornering with high lateral g-force. *Automatic gearbox only.
All Drive-E optimisations are made to provide a much greater performance in the engine's mid-range power band - perfect for the sporty driver when overtaking, entering a motorway or exiting a corner. *Automatic gearbox only.
