1. No, in respect to terminology, they are not, but thank you very much for explaining my answer to me ;-)
2. Not always the best technique to create new (misleading) names for known concepts, imho.

articulated steering


Explanation:
Coordinated steering is also used, but not nearly as often. All-wheel drive functions include front-wheel, rear-wheel, all-wheel, crab and articulated steering modes.

Asker: Thank you, but "articulated steering" requires that the vehicle is split, which is not the case here. In "Rundganglenkung" the front and rear wheels are turned in opposite directions, contrary to crab steering where all wheels are turned in the same direction.

Asker: Thank you, but all 4-wheel steering modes are coordinated steering modes. In "Rundganglenkung" the front and rear wheels are turned in opposite directions, contrary to crab steering where all wheels are turned in the same direction. I will just call this "circular steering".
