I drive the Sport version myself. There's a 10,000 yuan difference between these two trims with significant upgrades. The Sport trim adds a full sports kit over the Active trim - most noticeably with black door handles, side mirrors and 17-inch alloy wheels, plus the center-exit exhaust that gives it instant recognition. The steering wheel and gear knob get genuine leather wrapping for premium tactile feedback. The side camera automatically activates during reversing, and the wipers feature speed-sensing functionality. However, it loses the LED headlights from the Active trim - halogens offer better wet-weather penetration though less premium looks. If budget allows, I'd recommend the Sport trim - the exterior kit alone would cost more for aftermarket installation, plus you get factory-quality assurance. Another perk is the paddle shifters that make spirited driving much more engaging when desired.
