Steering wheel airbag question

Mine is trangle shape airbag center but I noticed there are more round center steering wheel than trangle one. Is there a reason for different shape airbag design? I personally like the trangle shape than round.

i believe the round is the sport steering wheel, also not all triangular wheels are
multifunction, i believe the MF is an option.......but I could be wrong.

The circular airbag comes on the sport steering wheel, I believe it's standard on the "S" models. Sport steering wheels are available in leather, padded leather, and alcantara.





The triangular airbag comes on the standard steering wheel. The standard steering wheel is more common. Multifunction is optional for this steering wheel, and there are many material options: leather, carbon, silver, alcantara, woods, and alcantara.



You can swap from one version to another, you will need to swap airbags too. Adding multifunction requires dealer activation.
