Stinger Drive Modes Resource

[Paladin611]

Because its never a bad thing to acquire information explaining the different Stinger drive modes. This has always been one of those elusive subject matters that is oddly an important aspect of the car. It is not a good service (Kia) to get more info from a website, than on what is to be found in the owners manual- even though this info should be known by most.

Here also, is the official AWD back/front ratios from Biermann’s team that are changed depending on driving mode. Nice to see official specs.

Mode	Static torque split (F:R)	Notes
Comfort	40:60	Transmission auto upshifts at redline, reverts to automatic shifting after a few moments without manual input
Sport	20:80	Will not revert to automatic shifting, but still upshifts automatically at redline
Sport Plus	13:87	More rear bias and looser stability control allows experienced drivers easier midcorner rotation
Drift	7:93	Nearly full rear-drive with minimal stability control allows controlled slides, will not upshift even at the rev limiter

My car is 0:100. You forgot the RWD mode.
Good info for all of the AWD models though.

I did see that but the article never mentioned drift mode and I thought it might sport mode with traction control turned off.
