What is the purpose of the Sport mode in the Kia Sportage?

I recently purchased a Kia Sportage and noticed it has a Sport mode. What is the purpose of this mode and when should I use it?

The Sport mode in the Kia Sportage is designed to enhance the performance and handling of the vehicle. It adjusts the throttle response, transmission shift points, and steering to provide a more dynamic driving experience.

I recommend using the Sport mode when you want to have a more spirited and sporty driving experience. It can also be useful when driving on curvy roads or when trying to merge onto the highway quickly.

Keep in mind that using the Sport mode may decrease fuel efficiency, so it's best to use it sparingly and switch back to the normal driving mode for everyday driving.
