The Japanese have also taken advantage of this update to introduce new features in the hybrid versions “e-Boxer”, now available with a special driving mode selector that can be used with the “Intelligent” and “Sport”. Notably, the tuning of the latter that now uses the engine braking torque to improve acceleration out of corners.
These versions can also be combined with the “SI-Drive” all-wheel-drive system, an option not available until now in the electrified car, but which is accompanied by a new option: the “X-Mode” all-wheel-drive assistant. The system features a new traction mode, ‘snow/ dirt’ and ‘deep snow/mud’, which improves grip on more difficult terrain. New front springs and shock absorbers have been fitted, increasing passenger comfort.
