The HSE Dynamic trim in addition to the HSE standard features gets added with stainless steel pedals, a bright finish for the twin tailpipes, gloss black grille and vents, 21 - inch alloys, illuminated treadplates, twin speed transfer box, torque vectoring and the more sophisticated Terrain Response 2 Auto system.

Both braking and steering response are exceptional, though one tester thought the brake pedal needed more assistance.

Shift response when you're hammering it is nearly instant and I will admit not having a clutch pedal and shifter to worry about lets you put more focus on keeping the car on track, hitting your points and ultimately being quicker.

Eco pro not only reduces how much power is delivered in response to pedal travel but it also upshifts more quickly and reduces the amount of power sent to the auxiliary systems, such as air conditioning.

Another addition for the LX cars was electronic throttle control («drive by wire»), which allowed more consistent speeds on rolling grades with cruise control; it interacted with the transmission control system to cut gear hunting, and tailored throttle response to pedal movement based on operating conditions.

The accelerator pedal's response behaviour, too, has been electronically optimised in order to make sure that the engine will release its performance more spontaneously.

The ELR's Sport driving mode also contributes to its responsive driving experience, automatically reconfiguring the accelerator pedal response to provide quicker torque application and more sensitive feedback to driver inputs through altered suspension and steering settings.

Also, we experienced unusual brake behavior in the hybrid including poor pedal response, and found it required far more pedal stroke and pressure to maintain a full stop at a stop light than the non-hybrid Pathfinder did.

Sport: Provides more aggressive pedal mapping for improved off - the - line feel and a stiffer steering response.

It also modifies the ESC's yaw response for more dynamic handling, while seamlessly adjusting the Pentastar V - 6 engine's pedal map for livelier performance feel.

This means that at higher speeds it will give a consistently sharp, confidence - inspiring response, while at low car park type speeds the system will provide a more comfort - biased pedal feel.

Sport: More aggressive pedal mapping for improved off - the - line feel and a stiffer steering response.

As expected, this prop shaft is significantly lighter than the one found under the M3 Coupe — 40 percent lighter to be precise — but it is also more rigid, which results in less power loss through the drivetrain and quicker response times when you romp on the gas pedal.

The spontaneous response of the engine can now be felt even more intensely due to an optimised accelerator pedal set - up.

The driving sensation is also characterised by the set - up of the accelerator pedal: the more the driver changes the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT settings from «Eco» towards «Sport Plus», the more spontaneous and dynamic is the throttle response of the twin - turbo V6 engine.

The brake pedal communicates a softer response than the others on test, and required more input when achieving similar stops.

Normal pressure exerted on the pedal produces a gradual and even braking effect, while more energetic pressure (as in sports driving) yields a keener braking response, delivering at a specific instant a distinct increase in braking power.

The 2016 CLA is also equipped with Adaptive braking, which sets the brake pads closer to the discs when you quickly lay off the gas pedal, providing more immediate response if you need to quickly hit the brakes.

In fact, one of the more troublesome aspects of our week with the Pathfinder was its tetchy throttle response: the slightest tweak of the gas pedal will send the 5,000 - pound mass lurching forward, which is good news for the (very) few that will be racing GMC Yukons off the lights but a hindrance when trying to park in tight spots.
