What is Alfa Romeo DNA Drive Mode Selector?

The Alfa Romeo DNA drive mode system, which stands for Dynamic, Natural and Advanced, allows you to adapt the steering, throttle, shift-mapping, and fuel efficiency of your luxury vehicle with the turn of a dial.

Dynamic Mode

Sharpen the responsiveness and handling of your Alfa Romeo vehicle by selecting Dynamic mode — “d” on the selector dial. This mode sharpens the throttle response and steering, and delivers a thrilling driving experience with unique shift-mapping.

Natural Mode

The default mode, Natural drive mode — “n” on your DNA selector dial — provides a relaxed driving experience with balanced throttle response and fuel efficiency, composed dynamics, and a pristinely comfortable riding experience.

Advanced Efficiency Mode

Whether you need to maximize your fuel efficiency or you’re facing low-traction driving situations, Advanced Efficiency mode — “a” on the selector dial — has the custom performance you need.

Race Mode

Exclusive to the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models, Race mode is part of the Alfa DNA Pro system. Best used in track driving situations, it increases engine torque, activates overboost for more engine power, and puts you in nearly complete control of the vehicle by shutting off the ESC stability control.

DNA Drive Mode Selector Models Available

The Alfa Romeo DNA drive mode selector is standard on every new Alfa Romeo vehicle, while you’ll find the Alfa DNA Pro system that adds Race mode on the Quadrifoglio trims of the Stelvio and Giulia.
