What cars still offer hydraulic steering?

newoldbeemer · 04-17-2014, 02:25 AM

With BMW, Mazda and even Porsche going electric, there are a few I can count

- The X1
- G37 and Q50 (there's a version with hydraulic?)
- I guess you can count Lotus if you go into expensive-ish categories.

Anything a hydraulic-steering-enthusiast with a 5-digit annual salary can afford? I can't think of any, short of used cars.

My C63 has a hydraulic power assist setup. Very nice, consistent weight to it.

Isn't the new Infiniti steer by wire?

I read in an article that Infiniti offers the traditional hydraulic - that the g37 has - as an option for enthusiasts who don't want the steer by wire system. I thought that's awesome, BMW should offer a "package" or something like that!

Interesting so the m5 is hydraulic whereas the new m3 isn't. I wonder what's the rationale.

Also how about the z4, is that electric now too?
