Steering system

Electromechanical progressive-rate steering

The Audi A8 uses the electromechanical steering system 
used previously in the 2017 Audi Q7. Progressive steering is 
standard. An electrically adjustable steering column is 
basic equipment. A heated steering wheel is available as an 
option.

Dynamic all-wheel-drive steering

As a logical development of the all-wheel-drive steering 
system, offered for the first time in the 2017 Audi Q7, a 
new system - dynamic all-wheel-drive steering - is optional 
in the Audi A8. A new feature is the combination of rear 
axle steering and dynamic steering. This allows the front 
and rear axles to implement defined steering angles inde-
pendent of the driver.

This improves key subjective and objective dynamic steering 
characteristics, such as:

 

›

Smaller turning radius.

 

›

Reduced steering effort.

 

›

Much better agility, particularly at low and medium 
speeds.

 

›

Improved driving stability, specifically during lane-
changing and evasive maneuvers.

 

›

Improved response and faster vehicle reaction times.
