What Does the 'S' Mode Mean in the Kia Rio?

I noticed that my Kia Rio has a gear labeled 'S' instead of 'D'. What does this mode do and when should I use it?

The 'S' mode in the Kia Rio stands for 'Sport Mode'. It allows for more responsive acceleration by shifting gears at higher RPMs. This mode is great for quick acceleration, merging onto highways, or driving in hilly areas.

Using the 'S' mode too often can decrease fuel efficiency and put more strain on your engine. It's best to use this mode sparingly and primarily when you need that extra boost of power.

I personally use the 'S' mode when I want a more engaging driving experience. It's perfect for when I'm feeling a bit more energetic during my daily commute.
