An electric multi-mode steer-by-wire system and a mode switching method thereof. The electric multi-mode steer-by-wire system includes a steering hand wheel unit including a steering hand wheel, a road-feeling motor, a reducer and an electromagnetic clutch, a steering execution unit including two steering electric motor mechanisms, a steering gear and two steering road wheels, an electronic control unit configured to control the steering hand wheel unit and the steering execution unit to achieve switching among two-side steering-road-wheel independent steer-by-wire mode, steering-trapezoidal steer-by-wire mode and electric power steering mode, and a mode selection and display unit. The electromagnetic clutch connected to the steering execution unit. The steering electric motor mechanisms drive the steering road wheels to steer independently through lead screw-nut pairs; or respectively form a hydraulic cylinder with the steering gear to jointly or independently drive the steering road wheels to steer with steering-trapezoidal manner.
