C300 Sport Steering Weight/Assist heavier than Luxury?

Another "Sport" vs "Luxury" question...

In general, at low speeds, does the steering of the "Sport" trim tend to be heavier than the Luxury trim? I was exploring the suspension/ride quality in another thread, but I was wondering if the "weight" or assist of the Sport trim is substantially heavier than the Luxury. Not a direct comparison, but I was driving my father's 2018 GLE in comfort mode and was shocked how much easier it was to maneuver.

Doesn't feel like anything's wrong, but maybe its a power steering, front end suspension thing.

Thanks!

Doesn't the 2018 GLE have electric steering rather than hydraulic? That might explain the difference.
