As for any functional difference, it's unclear. Some believe the SAT package shifts quicker (would probably just be a software tweak). It's unclear if this is real or not, and if it is real, if this is quicker in some functionally better way, or just quicker to intentionally be more abruptly-sportier vs smoother.
Yeah, I know about the paddles and the different shifters.

The question is, are the other differences still there with the new Driving Experience Control that includes a Sport/ECO PRO button even with the Sport auto. But I don't know if this is only a Europe.
