MY2021 is getting a new style steering wheel?

Post by so_audi » Sun Nov 22, 2020 4:54 am

I just saw this on Audi Japan configurator. Obviously MY2021 is getting the same steering wheel as RS6s?

I'm looking at it and wondering (aside from not being flat bottomed) what the difference is from the current RSQ3 - nice wheel.

OMG people on this forum would rather die a violent death than drive a car with a round steering wheel. (Except me who likes warm fingers and also thinks wheels should be round anyway)

I thought cars in Japan were RHD?

RS5 Owner - maybe the Austin Allegro Quartic steering wheel wasn't such a bad idea after all???

for some reason, the configurator shows LHD instead of RHD.

On the JP 2021MY simulation, if the 'RS Design Package' (Interior) is selected, the description detail notes that it includes 'Flat Bottom Steering Wheel (no Heater)'.
Separately noted, the standard package does define '3 Spoke SteeringWheel ...with Heater'. This was not an option on JP 2018MY.
Current :Sonoma Green. Ext Black Pack, Carbon 'Ext/Eng Cover/Int trim', Sports Exhaust, RS Sports Int., Pana Sunroof, Matrix Lights, Park & Drive Assist pkg., Speed limiter removed, Titanium-Anthracite 20".
Previous : B8.5 RS4 Daytona Gray
Previous : B8 S4 Ibis White
