I have been trying for some time now to figure out the difference between regular mode and dynamic mode on my 2013 XFR. I cannot tell the difference in ride quality or shift points. I’m not sure if something is wrong with it or if the difference is only apparent on a race track. Would appreciate your opinions.

ITRacer98 - Try this.
Yesterday I pulled away from a red light and held the accelerator pedal about a quarter of the way. As it was accelerating smoothly I pushed the Dynamic button and immediately felt a surge in the acceleration when it activated. It is apparent that throttle response is heightened in this mode. As for suspension differences I don't think so for my vehicle, unable to notice any changes. It may be just the XFR and the XFR-S that have that. First time XF owner here (7 months) so I am still learning about this automobile. Not my daily driver but so far no issues at all, everything functioning perfect.

 

I will give this a try, I’m not sure if my car has the active suspension because I just can’t tell any difference there. Thanks for the reply!

 

I notice little on the street but on the track yes.... it modulates shifting quite noticeably at speed during braking and cornering. It'll keep engine speeds up during these conditions.
Try running a "figure 8" pattern on a parking lot someday and run it with dyn on and off see if you can notice it then

 

You have an XFR so you have the active/adaptive/dynamic suspension, 100% guaranteed.
