Hi!
I’m getting my new car in a few days but my initial feeling when touching the ”leather wrapped” steering wheel was that it felt like plastic. My question is if anyone has an idea of how to perhaps soften it up a bit?
Will leather balm make any difference?
Thanks a bunch!

Use nivea in a cloth small amount because of the holes in the leather, its what I use and it will make the skin smoother

I put some photos of the steering wheel I do not know if it is possible to see how the leather is.

Can't say I've ever had a problem with the stearing wheel. No different to any other car I've driven. Personally I think it feels fine.
