In general, sport mode makes driving adjustments to several key areas such as steering, suspension and handling. For example, when sport mode is activated, the stiffness of the continuously controlled damper is increased to enhance the car's responsiveness while cornering. It also delivers a different electric power-assisted steering tuning for a more intuitive driving feel. Engine output is also affected with electronic throttle programming engineered for a more responsive feel.
