Active steering doesn't make it more agile, the active damping (adaptive drive) does. Active steering tightens up the steering feel (amount of effort required) when cornering and loosens for low speed driving (parking lots etc).

The active damping refers to the actual suspension. When in sport, stiffens up the suspension for better handling and softens when in comfort for better ride quality. There is more to the active damping though, it is constantly evaluating the road to give the best balance between ride quality and handling.
