Comparison between Sports steering wheel and normal

Dilinger · Oct 22nd, 2019, 13:33

Does anyone know the differences between the Standard steering wheel and the Sports steering wheel?

Diameter and thickness?
Also, if anyone has it in the inscription do you know whether it comes with white stitching or not?

"Sports" wheel is only available on RD, as far as I know.. I'd say the diameter/thickness is the same- the difference is in the leather trim (used to be perforated nappa on RD wheel with white cross stitching - but now it's just normal black leather..) + the hollow bottom spoke with an RD emblem. To my knowledge it was never available in two tone- that's reserved for inscription only.

No Haldex its available as an add on Inscription as well.
It does not have paddles and the R-Design logo below though. Its does not also have White stitching, but it features the perforated leather part.

I stand corrected

Thanks Dilinger!

But no two tone, I suppose?

No two tone, the Sports was never compatible with heated or two tone...

Not quite correct? I have a heated sports wheel with paddles. R-design Pro 18 model.

Really? I stand corrected then!
Can i see a picture please, very curious.
Mind you there are 3 aesthetics versions of black steering wheel.

Regular
Regular with the “ring” that seems to be the heated one - same construction with the bi-color and
Sports wheel.

So virtually all combinations are possible it seems

Isn't perforated leather now gone though? I don't think they offer it any more on any trim.. Which seems like a cost cutting decision..

Does anyone know if a dealer can "program" a car delivered without Paddles to accept/use a wheel with Paddles.
The reason for asking is that the latest XC60 Inscription Pro's do not have an option for a wheel with Paddles as Volvo UK for marketing purposes have decided that only R-Design drivers are worthy enough to be allowed to order a wheel with Paddles......
