yes. and in my specific case/situation, eco mode lowers the car so it doesn't make so much wind attrition. This helps saving fuel. But then again... I have pneumatic air suspension on my XC60.

Hybrid

D gear on motorways and A roads

B gear in towns

That’s about it.

Doesn’t the hybrid (comfort) mode lower the suspension at high speeds as well? Is it lower in Pure/eco mode?
Thanks
