Land Rover vehicles are known for their capability away from pavement, but advanced chassis technology can also make everyday driving easier. Land Rover All-Wheel Steering can turn the rear wheels along with the front wheels to improve maneuverability and stability in different driving situations. Land Rover Bellevue explains how the system works and what it can mean for your daily drive.
What Is All-Wheel Steering?
All-Wheel Steering allows the rear wheels to turn slightly based on vehicle speed and steering input. At lower speeds, they can turn in the opposite direction from the front wheels. At higher speeds, they can turn in the same direction.
On equipped models, the rear wheels can turn by as much as 7.3 degrees. Although the movement may be relatively small, it can make a noticeable difference in how a larger luxury SUV responds to steering inputs.
Low-Speed Driving
At lower speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction from the front wheels. This effectively reduces the vehicle's turning circle, helping it feel more maneuverable in confined spaces.
That can be particularly useful when navigating crowded parking lots, pulling into tight parking spaces, maneuvering through narrow streets, or making a U-turn. It allows an equipped vehicle to combine the passenger and cargo space of a larger SUV with easier low-speed maneuverability.
High-Speed Driving
As speeds increase, the rear wheels can turn in the same direction as the front wheels. Instead of tightening the turning circle, this helps the vehicle respond more smoothly and remain composed during maneuvers such as changing lanes or navigating curves.
The system operates automatically, so there's no separate rear-steering control for the driver to manage. It continuously adjusts rear-wheel steering based on driving conditions and vehicle speed.
