Hyundai for the win.
They do use touch screen functions --- but mainly for setup and configuration --- not for basic controls while driving.
It's illegal to use a touch screen phone while driving in many areas --- and for good reasons. So why is it ok and legal for manufacturers to mandate the use of their built-in touch screen while driving? Seems contradictory to me.
- LightBug1 2y agoYep - people think of Tesla first for EV's, but (for the overall package) Hyundai are far ahead. Emphasis on 'overall package'

- kgermino 2y agoTho most of the “physical buttons” on my Hyundai are non-tactile, capacitive buttons. I love my Ioniq I think a lot of ways it’s a better package than Tesla’s but I still miss the physical buttons from my Honda. I can’t get close to a button and find the right one by feel when it’s a capacitive panel
- jqpabc123 2y agoI haven't driven an Ioniq yet but it sounds like they too may have taken a turn down the wrong path. I regularly drive a fairly new Elantra where all the essential driving controls are still physical with tactile feedback. My favorite is the environmental control. A single, big easy to find knob to adjust the temperature without your eyes leaving the road. Turn left (counter-clockwise) for colder, right for hotter. The car takes it from there and selects heat or a/c as needed with an appropriate fan speed. You can still adjust manually but I rarely do so.
- yokem55 2y agoThe '25 ioniq 5's bring a lot of the buttons back. The climate ones are capacative, but are dedicated buttons.
- z3dd 2y agoLast gen Hondas have physical buttons, also the volume and temperature knobs click when rotated. The screen has physical back and home buttons too.
