I’ve never tested any vehicle that had a heated steering wheel uniform all around its entire circumference. It is usually warm only on the parts that don’t touch the rims, or supports and usually where your hands would rest. Some models have just a very warm couple of spots, others have more coverage. If it is uniform left to right (side to side) I would imagine it is normal. ---

I’m not familiar with your car, but my Lexus GS heats only the sides, so it’s certainly possible that your car is the same.
