The dashboard and center screen can be controlled via the left/right buttons of the double-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, making it easy for the driver to get familiar with it.
The full LCD instrument has a clear image and can display rich driving data, and the middle area supports the display of the surrounding road conditions of the vehicle.
The 14.96-inch large screen is the core of the interior, which integrates the operation of almost all functions in the car, such as lights, rearview mirrors, air conditioning, atmosphere lights, assisted driving, etc. The adjustment/operation are controlled through this screen.
