Like it or not, most new cars come with at least one screen, and in the days of analog everything are gone. While that may be frustrating for some, there are plenty buyers who value the latest tech features and are willing to pay extra for the privilege. Even if you’re against the trend, screens offer a great deal of convenience and functionality and can combine many more features than traditional buttons and switches. Automakers are also working hard to ensure that their technologies make the driving experience and ownership easier and less stressful, and infotainment systems have become infinitely better in recent years as a result. 

While most mainstream interfaces have similar features, they all take slightly different approaches to graphics, menus, and color schemes. Those details can make a significant difference in how each system works and whether or not it ends up being a distraction while you’re driving. We’ve selected our favorites out of today’s vehicles to help you get started. These are the 10 best infotainment systems that you can find on 2024 and 2025 model-year vehicles.

## Genesis

![Genesis Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6j1wQDRcTckPKadjFiEcKo/67c31f69de33ff2ebcfb5c5a09fdd857/Genesis_Infotainment.jpg)

One of the things that Genesis does well with its car’s infotainment systems is simplicity—a rarity in today’s automotive market. The automaker didn't give its interface a catchy name as some companies do, but it’s one of the most feature-rich and easy-to-use systems, besting many interfaces with fancy titles. Though it shares much of its underlying engineering with Hyundai and Kia, Genesis doesn't rely too heavily on their interface designs, opting for a unique user experience with smart graphics and responsive navigation.

Some of the newest Genesis models add a layer of visual appeal to the system, with simulated 3D graphics and unique color schemes. The Genesis luxury models, including the GV60 electric vehicle and G90 full-size luxury sedan, get a premium-feeling rotary controller without being stripped of a touchscreen like some setups but continue with logical menus and an upscale look. Combine that with large, clear screens, quick processors, and lots of functionality and there’s a winning package.

Toyota’s infotainment systems were woefully behind the times for years, lacking many of the features and sleek designs of rivals’ interfaces. Thankfully, that changed a couple of years back, as Toyota and Lexus finally rolled out new systems with updated graphics, easier menus and navigation, and more features. The changes were good enough for the two brands to climb J.D. Power’s rankings, surpassing other brands such as Honda in the process. 

Some models are still on the old system, but those with the new interface also get new display screens, such as Toyota’s latest 12.3-inch units and Lexus’ 14-inch touchscreen. The updates also brought long-awaited features to the automated vehicles, such as Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

## BMW

![BMW Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/oEyTMsXq6NUcL44gX0PmL/b1281b91de01554e749e6316639c5b0d/BMW_Infotainment.jpg)

BMW’s iDrive infotainment system has been around for more than two decades, but it hasn’t always been a critically acclaimed feature. Early versions were clunky and difficult to navigate, but BMW’s latest systems offer more features and usability than many competitors’ interfaces. Updated features include gesture controls, advanced voice commands, 3D navigation with traffic information, and more. That said, while it offers a deep bench of features, iDrive can be one of the more complicated systems around, with some users say there's a learning curve to getting the knack of it.

BMW iDrive 9 wraps most of the vehicle controls into a touchscreen interface, such as climate controls and other settings. While that creates a clean dash with few buttons, it complicates what should be straightforward adjustments of basic vehicle functions. Additionally, some models use a touchpad controller instead of a rotary dial, which further complicates operation. That said, BMW offers several ways to control the systems, including voice, gesture, steering wheel buttons, and more. 

Despite that, iDrive outperforms similar systems from key rivals Audi and Mercedes-Benz, most versions come with standard wireless connectivity, and the BMW X6 and iX scored highly among J.D. Power survey respondents. While it’s more complicated than it was, it’s also a sharp-looking system even on the brand’s least-expensive models.

## Hyundai/Kia

![Hyundai Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/H2Hlu7QNctDmY7P6moV0f/651463b6768703bd50c4d7f1b52ac960/Hyundai_Infotainment.jpg)

Like Genesis, Hyundai and Kia lean into the simplicity of their cars’ infotainment systems, avoiding the flashy colors and elaborate animations in favor of easy navigation and snappy transitions. Though there are slight differences between the two, the framework is very similar. Menus and layouts are near-identical, and both systems offer comparable features. 

The two systems earned a place on this list due to their responsive, intuitive, user-friendly interfaces. Because of their simplicity, they are among the most responsive systems on the market, and less distracting than most competing interfaces.

The system is best showcased in the Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade. Both models feature a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, and navigation, but surprisingly, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not yet standard with either system. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but the systems are still wired on many models across both brands.

Both brands are doing away with more physical controls and adding touch-sensitive ones that are configurable, such as on various Kia models such as the K5 and the Hyundai Santa Fe, and some find the Kia EV9’s setup with most of its climate controls in a separate touchscreen partially obscured by the steering wheel confusing. There’s hope, though, as a Hyundai representative recently said its customers prefer buttons over touchscreens and indicated it would preserve the physical controls in future models.

## Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar-Land Rover is not exactly an automotive powerhouse, but the corporate siblings offer serious infotainment tech with great features and a visually pleasing interface. The system is called Pivi Pro, and runs on large touchscreens in most JLR vehicles, with some offering displays of 11.4 inches or more. Most get desirable features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and many vehicles offer wireless connectivity. 

The automakers often pair digital gauge clusters with the infotainment systems to bring additional functionality and informational views that help the driver keep their eyes on the road while interacting with the vehicle. The two displays offer a wealth of features but can feel a bit overwhelming at times. That said, the tile system on the main touchscreen is probably one of the system’s better ideas to prevent toggling between audio, navigation, or phone functions, and it helps that Pivi Pro is far quicker to respond than any previous version. And, most notable in models like the Land Rover Defender and Discovery models, climate functions aren’t entirely encumbered in the screen.

<a name="6. Cadillac"></a>  
## Cadillac

![Cadillac Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6TW2iu0hLKG8nTUB4hxehN/b17595d229ab933e69c037dd3edd727f/Cadillac_Infotainment.jpg)

Cadillac offers a series of infotainment tech in its vehicles, ranging from somewhat basic systems in lower-cost models to a dazzling array of screens and features in the company’s flagship Escalade SUV. While it started with the Cadillac User Experience systems years ago, the automaker has refined its formula, and the resulting interface works well on a range of screen sizes and layouts. Cadillac has made infotainment the centerpiece of some interior designs, helping make them more modern and luxurious in the process. 

The Escalade’s smallest 7.2-inch digital control panel is to the left of the driver and instrument cluster. A 14.2-inch digital instrument cluster functions as the main driver information center and is customizable and can even display a map from the navigation to allow the driver to stay focused on the road.

The star of the show is a 16.9-inch display that handles all the other controls and settings. Tablet and smartphone users will immediately feel at home with the system, as it features customizable menus and a familiar layout. The interface also includes a night vision assistance system and an augmented reality navigation function that uses the Escalade’s cameras to overlay driving directions on a real-time view of the road ahead.

That said, Cadillac’s parent company, GM, is removing some of the most popular features in new EVs. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will no longer be offered in new General Motors EVs, which include the Cadillac Lyriq, the Celestiq, the Optiq, and the Escalade IQ.

## Mercedes-Benz

![Mercedes-Benz Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2fG7iNv1539xagDBva1cze/08e5c649ef15cf23bf4702d894e95d03/Mercedes-Benz_Infotainment.jpg)

Like other automakers on this list, Mercedes-Benz has had ups and downs with its infotainment technologies over the years and, while the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system was one of the earliest to offer now-common features like voice controls, navigation, and touchscreen technology, it took a few years of teething pains to reach the point it’s at today. Mercedes’ modern systems offer deep functionality and a wealth of features that others don’t. Users get granular control over vehicle functions, and the system offers neat features such as an in-cabin fragrance emitter.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, EQS SUV, and EQS sedan showcase the MBUX system the best, but it's available across most of the lineup. The S-Class features a 12.8-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and wireless device charging for added good measure.

The EQS Sedan and SUV both come standard with the same infotainment setup as the S-Class, but you can upgrade the MBUX system to what Mercedes-Benz calls Hyperscreen. It encompasses a 17.7-inch central touchscreen, a 12.3-inch driver’s side digital gauge cluster, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen on the passenger side. All three of these screens are essentially combined into a singular 56-inch-wide infotainment display.

<a name="8. Lincoln"></a>  
## Lincoln

![Lincoln Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1zd5oSFTAVtWM0hxATMPJL/4bf7b1ab898e30ef995fd80305f6fe72/Lincoln_Infotainment.jpg)

Lincoln relies on a modified version of Ford’s Synch infotainment systems, which is one of the best and easiest-to-use interfaces around. Lincoln’s system is reskinned, and looks more upscale than Ford’s, but it retains the basic functionality and responsiveness. 

Lincoln’s infotainment prowess is on full display in vehicles like the new Navigator, which gets a 12-inch digital gauge cluster and a 13.2-inch touchscreen as standard. The system brings Amazon Alexa, wireless charging, voice recognition, and more. Higher trims pack even more into the head unit, including Amazon Fire TV, and some get a high-end 28-speaker audio system. The system also maintains its usability on Lincoln’s smaller displays, so buyers don’t have to spring for the most expensive model in the lineup to get the best features.

<a name="9. Volvo"></a>  
## Volvo

![Volvo Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6rNMCiIQIWNSVqSX7oNbcG/8a670d93cd41b5e9d050adb005f2921f/Volvo_Infotainment.jpg)

Volvo’s new vehicles all carry similar infotainment interfaces, which are an evolution of the brand’s Sensus system. The latest run on Google Built-In, which brings Google Assistant, Google Maps, the Google Play Store, and more. It also offers Spotify and other streaming audio features. The systems run on a nine-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen, and Volvo equips a digital gauge cluster that displays additional information. 

While not quite as intuitive as some competing systems due to its swipe-to-control interface, the Volvo system offers a load of great features and high-resolution infotainment screens. That said, there are very few physical buttons in most new Volvo models, with the majority limited to a physical volume knob. Even without physical controls, Volvo’s system is somewhat more intuitive to use than Tesla’s, which eschews all physical buttons.

## Chevrolet

![Chevrolet Infotainment](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6IOh9uGY2D1ddLhvOzSgOz/178249650cb3251ebc3feb05551d3a74/Chevrolet_Infotainment.jpg)

We could easily lump GMC in with Chevy on this list, as both use a similar interface. The newest Chevy systems employ Google Built-In, and most (non-EVs) offer compelling tech such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The car brand’s vehicles get high-resolution touchscreens that offer great visibility for front passengers, and their menu layouts are easy to understand. 

One of the neat things that Chevrolet does is include physical buttons for climate controls and other settings, making them easier to use and less distracting while driving. While there are more than a few fancy animations and flashy graphics, the Chevy interface is responsive and snappy in most situations.

The four American brands under the Stellantis umbrella all get Uconnect infotainment which, for many, is the best system from a domestic automaker. Screen sizes range up to 12 inches or more, giving users a large, responsive display to work with, and even the most basic versions bring great features like smartphone mirroring and navigation. Some models, including Jeeps and Dodge’s SRT vehicles, come with specialized display options that show vehicle performance, off-road functionality, and more. 

Uconnect’s interface is also surprisingly configurable, and larger displays run two apps at once with a split display. That lets users interact with basic vehicle functions such as climate controls while maintaining the display for audio functions and other systems. 

Infotainment systems are the new measure of a vehicle's quality. They have become incredibly advanced in a short time, and it is important to know what the best ones are.
