As others have done, Skoda swells the drive modes page

Drive modes

We just added another five brand new entries to our drive mode page. That page now holds 85 entries.

Mind you, not a single one of the five is an actual new driving mode. There’s normal and sport and ECO, etc. Which means of course that a symbol, or multiples of them, were already available in the lexicon!

But no, Skoda had to make new ones. We honestly don’t know what we will ultimately do with the page, because surely the next updates will include yet more drive modes.

And by the way, my Kia had three drive modes. My screen simply puts up a single word or acronym for the mode: ECO, Normal or Sport. Simple…

Here are Skoda’s. All in black and white and a few that would likely require looking up!

The first is Normal mode, just lanes curved, instead of straight used by others. Then comes Comfort mode, indicated by a cloud! We have a cloud symbol already, used to a software update has been downloaded.

Individual mode — with gears? How does that describe an Individual? Eco mode is the familiar leaf, but a first in black and white. And finally Sport mode featuring a flag and a tight curve.

All of these exist in other variations already, but we have not been able to convince anyone to stop making new indicators and have no idea if anyone else even cares…

The Skoda dashboard symbols page is here.
