The newly announced (today) Genesis GV70 Electrified seems to fit the bill. Genesis is Hyundai's somewhat new luxury brand - Hyundai really screwed up the launch so almost nobody knows about it, but they make some pretty decent luxury cars at good prices and haven't deleted all the buttons like in current Mercedes/Audis and BMW's new products. Infotainment system has a knob; the screens are touchscreen but they're placed pretty far back in the dash and so the knob is the primary control method. Physical buttons for media controls and on the steering wheel. The new gen products have moved a few of the climate controls to a small touchscreen, but the commonly used function are still physical. Overall, way better than all of the competitors at keeping the car usable.
Genesis announced earlier this year that they plan to be all electric by 2025. And unlike most of these statements from most manufacturers, this one is actually believable. Hyundai/Kia have been pretty successful at selling electric cars in Europe; they have the engineering resources built up for EVs and Genesis should be able to take advantage of that.
The GV70 is expected to have around 250 miles of range. In addition to that I think they're also going to be releasing the electrified G80 (midsize luxury sedan) pretty soon.
