I've recently joined the Kia EV6 GT family and am really enjoying it! Especially enjoying the thrill of Sport mode - this car is extremely fast! However, I've noticed an issue with the Drive Mode selection. When I switch modes to experiment with the car's different personalities, it appears to default back to Normal mode. Is this normal behavior, or is there a way to make the selected mode permanent?
 
I think that is one of the additional safety features of Kia EV6 GT, it should return back to normal drive once

you restart the engine. I understand that it is such a hassle if this happens while you are driving.

Mine did this, too. I messed around with it until I got it set the way I wanted, and now it seems "stuck" there. I think it’s just a quirky interface. Just pay attention when you set it up, and you should be good to go.
 
Sooo I asked my dealer about it, and they said it was normal. Now I understand how it works. In AWD vehicles, Sport mode, like I-pedal, keeps the front motor running continuously. This consumes more energy and most likely made the range tests worse. So Hyundai/Kia designed it so that you can't use sport or I-pedal all the time, just like level 0 regen :)
