The 30-inch panoramic infotainment screen runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in a small central window, using only 70% of the space with wasted areas around it and tiny buttons.

The massive 30-inch touchscreen controls most vehicle functions from climate to seats, but its position makes it difficult for the driver to reach without stretching.
