As suggested, the mode gets this compact crossover into a lot more zesty form. The ECU allows the engine to be revved right up to its redline (6500 rpm) before it slams it into the next cog all the way to 6th.You can’t drive in the sport mode always since it won’t upshift anything under the redline which is not necessary all the times. While the drive mode feels sluggish in comparison to the sport mode, the best way to extract optimum performance is to stay in the sport mode and shift manually as required (still beats the hassle of manual transmission).
What could have been better is the option of a paddle shifter or the `+` and `-` function accommodated with the drive selector lever instead of a button which somehow does not feel as intuitive to use. While acceleration figures may not make much sense considering this is a compact SUV, for the records, the Ecosport manages the 0-100 dash in 13 seconds. Its light steering (as in TDCi and Ecoboost) along with its short overall length makes it a nimble handler by compact SUV standards. We found the steering to be surprisingly light even in the TDCi version and the TiVCT is not different. It remains a joy to use within city and weighs up enough as speeds built, nothing much to complain about here.
