I fear they may have gone too far? |

We just got rid of mrs rdr’s ID3 run about. it didn’t have physical controls and it was the most annoying thing in a car I have ever experienced. Driving it and having to page through options to adjust simple things was infuriating. Would I take the removal of physical controls to get a few more horses? I don’t think I could! MY23 PHEV HSE

I wonder what they have done to the rear HVAC controls. Will they have the same as now or will all versions get the screen in the armrest like on ABs? If they keep the rotary controls in the back when they are not in the front that is really lame.

To be fair, there’s not much chance it will be as awful as the VW system. |

Would be good if that panel spins like the disco 5 console did.

This is going to be redesigned again in the next couple of model years for sure, as it has a look about it that says it’s been done as a cheap quick fix. |

They will have caught up on all the backlogged orders because they are about to tell all customers with orders they will need to place new orders due to my24 😬 seriously though when I enquired recently I was warned a new phev order could be over 12months for delivery. MY23 PHEV HSE

Personally I disagree I’m a total geek and work with tech but in a car you can’t beat having proper buttons you can grab/feel without glancing at a screen. Even with haptic it’s difficult to develop muscle memory to land a finger on a button on a smooth screen you inevitably have to eyeball it. I change settings all the time. MY23 PHEV HSE

A nice touch would be to make it the same as the Bentley GT rotating panel |

This has nothing to do with tech, just cost cutting, which is shameful on a car in this price range. And your comparison to a computer dock doesn't make sense. Even computer manufacturers realize that physical volume buttons are easier to use than virtual ones. If you need to change the A/C settings on your car while you're driving, it's a million times easier to feel where the knob is vs. trying to touch a tiny piece of screen in the hope that it's the right one, haptic feedback or not. Obviously, some people will love this, while others will hate it, but it seems to me like a beginner's mistake from a U//X point of view and I wouldn't be surprised if JLR walked it back in a revision or two, after enough people complain. |
