My 2018 Chev Trax may be the perfect level of tech for my tastes. Climate stuff is all physical, but it has a nice screen that you can hook a phone to through a USB or Bluetooth to pass maps/audio/calls through it with the audio and calls being controllable by buttons on the wheel.

The only actual car operation buttons on the screen are things you wouldn't do when driving anyhow like decide if it locks automatically or setting the default volume.

Most obnoxious thing it does is keep reminding me that the sat radio subscription is expired when I start it.
