the question seems to come up quite frequently, and the responses are often varied and erroneous.
1. does the sport button change the engine map?

No, it only changes the responsiveness of the electronic throttles, so that less input with your foot on the accelerator pedal yields more output from the throttles than when in normal mode.

2. does it add power when the sport button is pressed?

No, although the car seems to feel invigorated, again you are only getting more fuel into the engine with less effort from your foot.

3. my petrol mileage seems lower when i drive in sport mode?

Yes, yes it does.
actual mileage may vary, it is likely that you will consume fuel at a faster rate with sport mode on.
