Abstract: The invention relates to an automotive steering system with a variable transmission ratio for a vehicle which is provided with at least one steerable wheel. Said steering system comprises a steering linkage having at least one elongate control rod (40) defining a control rod longitudinal direction, and an elongate working rod (70) defining a working rod longitudinal direction. The automotive steering system further comprises a superposition transmission provided with an actuating drive. Said superposition transmission is effective between the steering rod (40) and the working rod (70). The steering rod (40) can be displaced in the steering rod longitudinal direction under the influence of a steering spindle (20) and a steering gear (30).
