Hyundai, which had promised to keep physical buttons over screens in cars, has unveiled its latest electric SUV, the Elexio, featuring a screen-dominated interior.
The Elexio's dashboard includes a massive 27-inch display integrating the infotainment system and a passenger screen, with the driver having a separate digital display.
Hyundai's decision to prioritize screens over physical buttons contradicts earlier safety concerns and customer feedback regarding the usability and distraction of touch controls.
The trend towards screen-heavy interiors in China, exemplified by models like Honda GT, contrasts with European preferences for physical buttons, indicating potential regional differences in design preferences.
