A look at Volvo Eco Drive Mode and how it helps preserve fuel

Volvo has been a pioneer and industry leader in safety technology development. Now, Volvo is turning towards green technologies and has once again found itself in a position where it is leading the industry in fuel-efficient vehicles and performance.  Volvo offers a wide range of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles in its 2022 Recharge lineup, but Volvo also offers a range of technologies within its vehicles that maximize fuel economy.


One very simple technology that has a major impact on the fuel consumption of your Volvo is the Eco Drive mode. This driving mode is designed to optimize various parameters and make it easier to drive in a fuel-efficient manner. When you select Eco Drive mode, everything is put in place to lower fuel consumption without sacrificing comfort, driving pleasure, or performance.


The Eco Drive mode adjusts the gearbox, engine output, pedal response, cruise control system, and climate controls to ensure that you see better fuel economy from your Volvo vehicle.


The gearbox and transmission have different shifting points in Eco driving mode and the engine response is different in order to facilitate more linear driving. You will also feel the accelerator pedal respond differently. The climate controls are adjusted to ensure better efficiency and the cruise control system is designed to react in a more linear fashion as well.


You will also appreciate the Volvo Coasting function, particularly in the all-new Volvo XC90. The coasting function allows the transmission to disengage from the engine in situations where the vehicle is able to coast. In doing so, no fuel is used, and the driver enjoys incremental improvements in fuel efficiency.


Driving a Volvo Recharge model is the best way to save on fuel in a luxury vehicle. But, even in Volvo vehicles with a traditional combustion engine, functions like the Eco Drive mode allow you to get the best possible efficiency. Give us a call today to learn more.
