Is the steering wheel of Audi A7 round or flat?
2 Answers
The new generation Audi A7 offers two types of steering wheels, both round and flat. Introduction to Audi A7 steering wheel: The Audi A7 has two steering wheel options: one is a three-spoke flat-bottom (flat) design, and the other is a four-spoke round-bottom (round) design. The four-spoke steering wheel is slightly larger in size but provides an excellent grip. It comes fully equipped with multifunction buttons and paddle shifters, and the steering wheel also supports manual 4-way adjustment. Functions of the Audi A7 steering wheel: The left side of the steering wheel is the driving computer control area, with buttons for switching driving computer pages, left and right page turning, up and down page turning with a press to confirm, return, and switch interfaces. The right side of the steering wheel is the multimedia control area, with buttons for Bluetooth phone, customizable buttons, voice control, song switching, and scroll volume adjustment with a press to mute.
I've driven the Audi A7 many times, and the steering wheel is circular without any flat sections, featuring a very traditional design that feels comfortable in hand. The advantage of a round steering wheel is smooth steering, providing more stability during turns or high-speed driving, unlike flat-bottom steering wheels which might cause hand slippage or be harder to control. From the 2018 to the 2023 model, the standard versions all have round steering wheels, and even with the seat lowered, it doesn't feel cramped. The interior of the Audi A7 emphasizes practicality, and the steering wheel complements this elegant style with its soft and durable material. If you're commuting daily or going on long drives, a round steering wheel will be more hassle-free, helping to avoid fatigue. I recommend test driving it to experience it firsthand, as there might be subtle changes across different years, but overall, the round design is safe and classic.
