So i got a 2018 gt two days ago and it s such a great car.
Mazda touch screen while driving.
Active driving display safety sound bluetooth language and more.
Operate the touch screen.
The company has in fact explained saying that it s not a decision that was hastily made.
While it may seem shocking to some drivers mazda will now seek to eliminate touch.
They took a long time trying to gauge the possible effects of touchscreens on driving safety and comfort while driving.
While rivals offer increasingly complex dashboards the new mazda3 has abandoned touch screens and won t show anything than driving information in its instrument panel.
That s the opposite of brands like volkswagen which now offers a configurable digital dashboard display for its golf small car.
Mazda among many other automakers has intentionally refrained from touchscreens.
Most new cars offer a tablet like touch screen interface but mazda wants to shift that paradigm.
I looked up some videos of how to enable the screen while driving but i think they are for older versions of the car.
For some of the same reasons a big screen of any kind that s closer to the driver s eyes like in the tesla model 3 isn t the answer either mazda insists.
