Vehicle and steering unit

A vehicle comprising:

• a steering unit, the steering unit including
• a steering shaft,
• a steering wheel including a ring-shaped rim, a hub on an inner side of the rim and fixed to the steering shaft, and a spoke connecting the rim and the hub, and
• a steering column supporting the steering shaft to be rotatable about an axis of the steering shaft, wherein
• the steering wheel includes a switch unit at a position of the spoke in a direction spaced from the hub in a vehicle width direction and configured to receive a manual operation of a user,
• the switch unit includes a first switch, a second switch, and a central switch between the first switch and the second switch,
• the first switch and the second switch are arranged such that a protrusion amount of the first switch and the second switch from a front surface of the spoke monotonically decreases toward the central switch, and
• at adjacent portions adjacent to the central switch, the protrusion amount of the first switch and the protrusion amount of the second switch are smaller than a protrusion amount of the central switch.
