Difference Between Sport and SE

[Ujw]

Hi, I bought a B9 Audi A4 Sport 1.4 TFSI

The SE trim was also the same price but the sport sounded nicer lol.

Heard it has lower springs etc, how does that affect the ride? Anything else that's different compared to the SE? I think the seats are also different, but are they generally more comfortable?
I've also noticed my car has a piano black trim running across the dash under the ac vents. But literally every other A4 I look at online has the silver trim?

Sports seats, lowered suspension by 30mm which will be firmer. Larger wheels? 

Slightly different body styling

I believe both the SE and Sport (I have the latter) have the same Comfort Dynamic Suspension and it is the S-Line model that has a lower suspension which is also firmer.  Seat trims are different and standard equipment was more generous with the Sport model (such as the LED interior lighting pack.  The 2017 model year brochure lists these additional features for Sport models compared with SE models:

 

Wheels
► 17” ‘5-spoke Y’ design alloy wheels
► ultra TDI models come with low
rolling resistance tyres
Exterior
► Radiator grille in Twilight grey matt
with chrome inlays
► Air inlets in Titan black with two
horizontal inlays in chrome
► Rear diffuser in Twilight grey matt
Seats
► Front Sport seats in System cloth
Interior equipment
► 3-spoke leather multi-function Sport
steering wheel
► LED Interior Lighting Pack
Audio and
communication
► MMI Navigation with 7” colour
MMI screen
• 3D map display
• MMI search
• Two SDXC card reader
► Audi Sound System with
10 loudspeakers
► Audi Connect (three-month trial)^

Haven’t picked up the car yet, but I noticed that my cup holders were illuminated on the test drive. Does that mean my car has the LED interior lighting package? Is that standard on sport? Does this mean the door panel is illuminated too?

Hi Ujw

Yes, on the Sport model the cup holders are lit, as are the air vent controls, strips on all 4 door panels, behind the door handles and the outside of the door handles light up when the car is unlocked.

Yup ty, aw thought I could change the colour lol. But settings only has the option to change the brightness. I think that's another option

[TheITGuy]

The standard interior LED lighting is just white, there was an optional Extended LED lighting pack that gave a choice of colours:

Interesting set of post-purchase questions 😕
