Rear wheel / all wheel steering is available on some or all models of the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

Personally I’d welcome this feature on the Defender:
- I find the current turning circle of 13.1 m pretty rubbish, making multi storey car parks no-go areas
- Might improve higher speed handling and responsiveness
- I’m sure that it would be useful in extreme off-road scenarios

I suspect we are too far into the Model Year cycle for JLR to introduce it, the engineering changes wouldn’t be trivial. Maybe the OCTA has it? But I’d much prefer AWS to cosmetic options like running boards or 22” wheels.

Any thoughts?

Never have an issue manoeuvring day to day or in any multi-storey car park unless its height restricted. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

I don't really understand the mechanics, but I would imagine it would compromise ground clearance a bit. I'd imagine it adds some additional potential points of failure in the suspension too, right?
