Heated steering wheel
1 - 13 of 13 Posts
I think it only on the AWD and the cars available in Canada. I have it on my car and I have to say I love it. It heats up in about 20 seconds and makes you want to drive with both hands completely wrapped around the steering wheel. I think it is a better application of direct heating than the heated seats!
Now if only infiniti would offer cooled seats, then I would be in heaven!

If you have a RWD Q-50, I'm gonna have to say you're mistaken. Heated steering wheels only come with AWD models.

Wrong again. Im pretty sure my hands aremt crazy. I will take a picture tomorrow and show you guys. Under the climate section I have 3 buttons to operate main hvac controls. One of which is a steering wheel heater. Im in canada so my car could ne specced differently from the american Q50 but my Q50S RWD is fully loaded. Only thing that wasnt an option on my car was the safety gadgest such as blind spot lane departure ect. The checklist of the option included when i ordered the car also highlights the heated wheel option.

Ok, sorry. Didn't catch you were in Canada. I guess that Infiniti specs Canadian Q-50's differently than US models. But at the same time, that really pisses me off. Why not make that an option on American RWD Q-50's as well? Why wouldn't a Q-50 owner in Montana or Michigan or upstate New York not desire a heated steering wheel on a RWD Q-50 just like the ones a few miles up over the border who can get that option?? I would have paid a little extra to have that on my RWD model! I just didn't want AWD with the extra weight/lower MPG. Just because it hardly ever snows way down here in Texas, doesn't mean I wouldn't like a warm steering wheel on cold mornings! Come on Infiniti marketing, pull your heads-out and think about how you configure your cars!!!

Bothers me too. Correct me if im wrong but I believe canadian Q50s dont even have packages called deluxe touring, tech package, nav package. When purchasing the rwd q50s it was either fully loaded or base. However I know theres more variations in the awd section
RWD without steering heater !
Had a loaner for 2 days on which that heater became one of the coolest feature for me. Now as my new Q50 arrived at the dealer and I picked it up, that cool heater went missing ! It's silly logic, heated seats are available but they couldn't add the steering.
