Welcome to the forum
I’m guessing it refers to the steering ?
And in my humble opinion it does really do anything, other than provide a “marketing tool”

Welcome to this forum. Where is it in Settings?
I couldn't find anything for "Sports mode" However for "Sport Mode" the 2020 manual (but curiously not the 2019 manual) relates for an actual switch not a setting:
SPORT MODE SWITCH (if so equipped)
The SPORT mode switch adjusts the engine and transmission points to enhance performance. Push the SPORT mode switch on the instrument panel to activate the SPORT mode. The SPORT mode indicator (drive mode indicator) appears in the vehicle information display.
NOTE:
In the SPORT mode, fuel economy may be reduced.
Alternatively the 2019 manual relates:
SETTINGS ... [Steering Effort]
This can be set to [Normal] or [Sport].
and the 2020 manual relates:
The mode of the Power Steering can be
changed to:
. NORMAL
. SPORT
