The newly developed steering wheel adopts a compact, stylish shape similar to that of an airplane yoke. It was made feasible since multiple rotations of the steering wheel, such as when making U-turns or parking, are not needed with steer-by-wire systems that control tire angle via electronic signals. In achieving this new design, Toyoda Gosei adopted the technology it has cultivated in ergonomics-based design for steering wheel structure and grip shape, and in production processes including wrapping the wheel with real or synthetic leather.
