How is steering on 2019 G550

Just wandering... Is steering the same as on previous G models, do you have to steer back when u are coming out of corner?

Shouldn’t be. Older model is recirculating-ball (same as in semis) but new one is rack ‘n pinion, like any other modern cars & SUV’s.

It is an all new steering setup in the new G. IMO The M19 steering is perfect. Has a great weight to it and offers plenty of connection to the road. The fatigue one experiences driving an older model with the recirculating ball setup is completely gone.

100% right, the new 2019 Gwagon has complete new and modern steering so the non-resposive and downright scary older version steering is gone.
