in manual mode , i lower the gear , press the gas , accelerate , get the engine
up to 4k

then i lift the pedal and expect the car to slow down , but no, it stay coasting as if
small amount of throttle was still applied.

the car takes its sweet time to decelerate slowly.

i can understand the car would do this in auto or comfort mode to
mimic automatic transmission , but in manual mode, shouldn't it behave
like a manual transmission?

My understanding is that because it's a turbo engine, it doesn't behave the same as a straight 6 engine for example, so the engine breaking is much much more gradual. May be wrong though.

navigate your car settings, there's a coasting assist which can be turned off - if i recall correctly.

no, i have 3 turbo car before this, it has tons of engine braking.
but all of them were manual...
this is my first auto car in 15 yrs....

i couldn't find the coasting asist setting....

but i play around more this morning, if i use Dynamic mode, the engine braking is more, but still not like a manual transmission.

i guess they program it this way to make the ride more luxury and less jerky...

I neither could find teh coasting assist setting. Tried for about 10 minutes lol.

I went into Driver Assistance, and mine doesn't have Intelligent Coasting. Must be limited to Prestige models.
