I assume this is actually pretty simple: The difference between the two modes is how much power you have available. It all depends on you as the driver whether you use that power or not.

[lucabraglia]

You might see a difference driving at speed higher than 80 km/h switching from Comfort mode to Efficiency mode.
Driving in efficiency mode the car will be lowered to max level already at speed over 80 km/h, consequently lowering the consumption.
Driving in comfort mode the suspension goes to the lower level only above 140km/h.

[BülentNL]

Switch from comfort to efficiency mode you will see the difference and select it on the menu drive select so you can activate E drive mode 😬

[Germinatorlph]

Been driving an etron for 2 years now. Real life usage: no difference unless you on the German autobahn constantly overtaking. S-mode only unlocks the higher boost range available to you.

You should have tested the „efficiency mode“ you can activate via the drive select buttons below the left seat heater button. There you should have noticed a difference. But the car feels like castrated then ;)

224wh/km with 80 km/h speedo... damn... that's ridiculous

[ronaldlife]

This video has settled a thought of mine for a while. So glad the car can now be enjoyed in S mode! haha

[seb.]

_Ho Bjørn you used the S_

mode 🤣
2:51

S mode, change accelerator pedal response ;)

[ericvetb]

Will that be the same at higher speeds, like 120km/h? Or if at the speed still not needing all the power, I guess still no difference?
Maybe slight difference if needing to do a lot more overtakes, or faster speed? 🤷‍♂️

[JJordy]

I assume S mode will be less efficient in city driving, since it's noticeably quicker from a line

[MatthewLloyd]

It only make a difference if you use that extra 20% at the top of the power band

[MichaelDoran]

I'll take it that people complained so you posted this video 😂

[ChristofferLund]

From the comments on the 1000km video i see a lot if modes referenced. Which modes are avaliable?

Here you test D and S. Is it for dynamic and sport? Where does the comfort vs effeciency mode that people mentioned factor in in relation to the D and S modes?

Probably easy to separate for people who have driven the car, but it seems confusing from the outside.

[asteppy]

It's so inefficient that it does not really matter whether you're in S or D.

[lasses]

New invention….that will be safer for all….try using the the rightmost lane when you go slow!

[MatthewLloyd]

My average range is like 1.5miles per KWH 😂

[MrTechfreak]

Could you test the difference with effciency mode. :D

[balazsschweighoffer]

The consumption is too damn high of this car! 😀

[rare_wubbox]

Great video👍
This Fat Audi looks kind of dated… bet sales will drop..👍🇳🇴
