The Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron - The future in your hands - the steering wheels with touch operation

The steering wheels in the Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron are also setting course for the future of mobility. With their double-spoke design, they belong to a new generation. The four rings on the baffle are in a flat design, and in the S line interior an S emblem adorns the lower spoke. The upper spokes have touch surfaces in a black panel look, whose functional areas are also backlit to show which buttons are active at any given time. Slight elevations separate them from each other and make them easier to use, and there is gentle haptic feedback when the keys are pressed. As with the smartphone, there are also swipe gestures in addition to touch gestures, for example for scrolling through lists. The steering wheels are available in different versions. On the top version, they wear steering-wheel-mounted paddles for thrust recuperation and a two-piece trim on the spokes. The heated rim here is flattened at both the top and bottom - a solution that strikingly underscores the futuristic character of the interior. Whether in terms of appearance, function or feel - the new steering wheel clearly expresses the progressive character of the Q4 e-tron.
