A vehicle comprising a steering wheel assembly and an airbag assembly. The steering wheel assembly comprises a steering wheel column (3) for mounting a steering wheel (4) on top of the steering wheel column and a steering wheel column connection unit (5) connecting the steering wheel column to a frame (2). The steering wheel column connection unit is arranged for pivotally mounting the steering wheel column around a pivot axis (A). The air bag assembly (7) comprises an airbag (8) and an electronic airbag control unit (9). The steering wheel column connection means (6) are arranged for automatically positioning the steering wheel column in the most forward position in case of a front collision of the vehicle without any external triggering other than the kinetic energy of the mass of the steering wheel column. The airbag is mounted on the steering wheel column at a side thereof directed downwards.
