I just bought a 2023 HEV Niro SX in the U.S. It comes with a heated steering wheel. Unfortunately, only the top half of the steering wheel heats. The dealer is telling me that is by design. Does anyone know anything about this? thanks!
Perhaps true but not really responsive to my question.A good driver should only be holding the top half of the wheel unless negotiating a sharp turn
My reply is responsive since it's pointless wasting energy to heat parts of the wheel where your hands should not be placedPerhaps true but not really responsive to my question.
My 2023 Niro EV heats on top portion. The lower portion is not cold but not real warm. I am ok with this as the top gets hot after a bit. I can put my hands on lower portion if needed. I turn off as it gets hot quick. Wish it had different levels.I just bought a 2023 HEV Niro SX in the U.S. It comes with a heated steering wheel.

I find being so rigidly dogmatic about something as fun as driving to be, politely, counterproductive.A good driver should only be holding the top half of the wheel unless negotiating a sharp turn
Ours gets warm (Hot really) all around, but ours is a 2019 EV.I just bought a 2023 HEV Niro SX in the U.S. It comes with a heated steering wheel. Unfortunately, only the top half of the steering wheel heats. The dealer is telling me that is by design. Does anyone know anything about this? thanks!
Way back when before airbags, we were taught the 10 and 2 oclock position. Then with wrist injuries occurring with airbags, new drivers were taught to use the 9 and 3 oclock hand positions. My last offspring was taught to use the 8 and 4 oclock hand position (that was about 10 or so years ago). 9 and 3 really didn't make much sense, I find the 8 and 4 oclock position to be very useful and comfortable. I have no idea what the steering wheel temperature is at 8 and 4!A good driver should only be holding the top half of the wheel unless negotiating a sharp turn
I use the 9:15 and 2:45 hand position as I'm using my regen paddles all the time. Though I do find myself occasionally at 10 and 2 when I have no traffic in front of me. At stop lights I'm at 5 and 7.Way back when before airbags, we were taught the 10 and 2 oclock position.
