The steering column (1) according to the invention includes a lug (3), a casing (2), an inner tube (4), an outer tube (5), a steering wheel end-piece (6), and at least one adjustment gear motor, (7, 8) characterized in that the lug (3) is axially movable and in that the column (1) includes a gear motor (9) controlling the lug (3). Having a movable lug (3) makes it possible to increase the stowing length of the steering wheel. Indeed, the range of movement is the sum of the movements of the lug (3) and the adjustment gear motor (7, 8) whereas, in the prior art, only the outer tube (5) is translatably or vertically movable.
