What kind of fuel savings would one we driving in Evo vs comfort or vs sport plus
how much does the auto start stop safe!

I know these will vary based on driving style just curious if we are taking 1 or 2 percent or like 8 or 10

I don't know about an exact percentage estimate.. but I'm going to guess (assuming you're driving exactly the same, all factors being equal except the driving mode itself) the difference is minuscule. A couple percent, if that. The auto start stop I don't think actually saves a ton on gas, maybe some on emissions. Naturally if you're in the other modes you're going to drive harder, but assuming you don't, and assuming it's letting the rpms average a bit higher because of the sportier modes to prep for quicker acceleration... I doubt it's a drastic difference. I've yet to drive a car that has a significant difference in fuel economy between driving modes provided the driving style is consistent.

On the same topic of Dynamic select/Drive Modes in non-AMG non-Airmatic equipped GLCs.

Is there any difference between the sports engine and sports steering of SPORTS vs SPORTS+

Or the only difference between both is just the start/stop engine toggle?

Sport+ holds the transmission in lower gears for much longer compared to Sport.

So in the *Individual settings. If we are to chose the following:
- sports engine
- sports steering
- start stop off
- aircon comfort

The transmission behaviour will mimic that of sports or sports+?

I'm going to guess towards the larger end of the % difference.
When I cruise on the highway in ECO, its gets to 9th gear ASAP. In sport, it cruises in 7th gear.
