Steering wheels are not the same as they were even a decade ago. Automakers like Audi continue to innovate on this front, culminating in the new steering wheel that will appear in the 2022 Q4 e-tron and 2022 Q4 Sportback e-tron.
Pictured below alongside its predecessors from 1986 and 1996, the Q4's new steering wheel is Audi's most advanced yet, with gloss-black backlit touchscreens. Much like the wheel on the Volkswagen ID.4 or Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Q4's wheel features small bumps to divide the controls, while a combination of haptic feedback with a mechanical click give drivers an improved sense of feel.
"Despite the wide variety of functions, we need to ensure that we don't clutter up the steering wheel. Instead, drivers need to be able to operate it intuitively so that they can fully focus on the road," said Audi steering engineer Marcel Bruch. "A steering wheel's operating and convenience functions are defined specifically for each model. The steering wheel in the new Q4 e-tron, for example, can be used to control 18 different features. That's a major challenge."
