The present invention relates to a steering system for a vehicle, the steering system comprising a steering unit comprising a steering wheel; a steering-feel unit for generating a steering reaction force when the steering wheel is rotated, the steering-feel unit comprising at least one spring coupled to the steering wheel, and an actuator for changing a spring loading and/or spring stiffness of the at least one spring. The steering system further comprises a position sensor for measuring an angular position of the steering wheel and/or a speed sensor for measuring a vehicle speed; and a control unit for controlling the actuator, the control unit operationally coupled to the actuator and to the position sensor and/or the speed sensor, wherein the actuator is configured to change the spring loading and/or spring stiffness depending on the angular position of the steering wheel and/or the vehicle speed.
