Construction and materials

The steering wheel construction was developed by the vehicle manufacturer, which guarantees a perfect fit for the steering column and other cockpit elements. The rim is covered in black leather, which provides a secure grip, good vehicle control, and visual consistency with the factory interior finish of Mercedes E-Class W213 and C238 generations.

The rim profiling promotes ergonomics – the shape is adapted to the natural position of the hands, which improves comfort during longer drives and precision when maneuvering in city traffic and on the road.

Functionality and paddle shifters

An integral element of this steering wheel are the paddle shifters, which allow for manual gear control in an automatic transmission. The placement of the paddles has been optimized for quick access by the thumbs and index fingers, facilitating dynamic driving without the need to take your hands off the rim.

The layout of the buttons on the steering wheel spokes (within the Steering wheels and horn buttons category) is consistent with the factory Mercedes operating logic, which allows for intuitive control of vehicle functions and minimizes adaptation time after replacing the component.

Condition, remanufacturing process, and preparation for installation

The item is offered in remanufactured condition, which means it has undergone a professional regeneration process in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. This includes inspection of the load-bearing structure, refreshing of the working surfaces, and verification of the correct operation of the paddles and buttons within the steering wheel.

A steering wheel prepared in this way is ready for installation as a replacement for the factory component, which allows for the restoration of full functionality of the vehicle's steering system or an aesthetic and technical refresh of the interior without interfering with the vehicle's structure.

Application and benefits of installation

Using this steering wheel in a Mercedes E-Class W213 or C238 generation allows for maintaining stylistic consistency with other cockpit elements, while simultaneously ensuring a comfortable and precise grip. The black leather blends well with most interior color configurations, from classic dark upholstery to lighter combinations.

Replacing the steering wheel with a model featuring paddle shifters is particularly beneficial for drivers who expect more direct control over the automatic transmission's operation, while maintaining full integration with the vehicle's factory electronics.
