Specifically, we have a Genesis that has 5 selectable driving modes. One is "ECO" that allows the car to coast when the accelerator is released. "Coasting" appears on the dash when coasting is active. Most newer cars have high gearing and smaller engines that makes engine braking barely detectable anyway.
