Obnews Automobile Desk: If you are planning to go to Himachal Pradesh or Uttarakhand to celebrate the New Year 2025, then definitely watch the video of cars slipping on icy roads. In such a situation, the drive modes found in modern cars can help you. But do you know which drive mode is most helpful in snow?
Drive Modes and their Uses
Most cars these days come with a variety of drive modes, designed to suit specific driving conditions. In these modes, the car's engine power, torque, braking system and tire traction are controlled in different ways.
- Normal Mode: Designed for normal city roads. It provides comfortable driving and better handling.
- Sport Mode: There is a delay in gear shifting, which improves power and acceleration. This mode is useful for high speed driving.
- Eco Mode: Mode designed to increase mileage, which reduces fuel consumption.
- Smart Mode: It automatically switches between Normal and Sport modes.
Correct mode for driving a car in snow
If you are thinking of driving in snowy areas, then first choose a 4×4 wheel drive car. It is important to use snow chains on tires and control hand brake, steering and acceleration.

Importance of snow mode
Winter or snow mode is provided in many modern cars. This mode properly shifts the car's torque to the front and rear wheels. If one wheel fails in snow, Snow Mode shifts torque to the other wheels, allowing the car to move smoothly.
Terrain management facility
Cars like Mahindra Scorpio N come with Terrain Management feature, which makes driving easier in mud, snow and sandy areas. Premium cars from Hyundai and sports cars like Lamborghini Urus are also capable of running at high speeds in snowy areas.
