Like many manufacturers today, Renault’s cabin layout has a sense of minimalism, with most controls buried within the infotainment screen.
The screen is integrated within a single unit, forming an inverted L-shape that accommodates the digital instrument display.
It can display digital versions of traditional dials, helpful information, and trip statistics, while SatNav directions appear on a map.
The whole unit is angled slightly towards the driver, making it easier to see.
Thankfully, the climate controls remain as physical buttons, sitting beneath the infotainment screen, making things more convenient on the move.
That said, it would be even easier to use the touchscreen system if there was a rotary dial, but this isn’t offered.
Nevertheless, the overall system is superb, helped by the Google Services powering it. These supply Maps, voice-controlled Assistant, and access to the Play Store, which enables installation of apps, including Spotify and Tidal.
The steering wheel is a somewhat unusual shape, sporting a flatter top and bottom compared with its more traditionally rounded sides.
