When upgrading your vehicle, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing between a flat bottom steering wheel and a traditional round steering wheel.
Both styles offer unique advantages, but the right choice depends on your driving style, comfort preferences and the overall look you want to achieve.
What Is a Flat Bottom Steering Wheel?
A flat bottom steering wheel features a flattened lower section, giving it a sportier appearance inspired by high-performance and racing vehicles.
It’s a popular upgrade for BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Audi RS, Porsche and many other performance cars.
Benefits of a Flat Bottom Steering Wheel
- Modern, aggressive appearance
- More legroom when entering and exiting the vehicle
- Sportier driving position
- Performance-inspired interior
- Popular on high-performance vehicles
If you’re looking for a contemporary, motorsport-inspired cabin, a flat bottom steering wheel is an excellent choice.
What Is a Round Steering Wheel?
A round steering wheel retains the classic circular design found in most factory vehicles.
Many drivers prefer this style because it offers a traditional feel while maintaining excellent comfort for everyday driving.
Benefits of a Round Steering Wheel
- Classic factory appearance
- Comfortable for long journeys
- Familiar steering feel
- Ideal for daily driving
- Timeless design
For those who appreciate an OEM-style interior with premium materials, a round steering wheel remains a fantastic option.
Which Steering Wheel Is Better?
Neither design is objectively better—it depends on your preferences.
Choose a flat bottom steering wheel if you want:
- A more aggressive look
- A performance-inspired interior
- Extra legroom
- A modern custom appearance
Choose a round steering wheel if you prefer:
- Traditional comfort
- A classic OEM look
- Everyday practicality
- Familiar steering feel
