Hyundai will launch the first of its next-generation interiors next year—and bosses promise to keep physical buttons, reports Autocar.

The move, confirmed to Autocar by vice president of design Simon Loasby at the Seoul motor show, could also result in a smaller infotainment display and simpler-to-use software for the touchscreen in an effort to improve safety.

“Our vision for our next-generation interiors [is that] the safest way is to keep the driver’s eyes on the road as much as possible,” Loasby said. “With this philosophy in mind, we quite quickly realized that the central screen is actually just a distraction. So [in terms of safety] you really don’t want people to look at the screen: you want them to look at eye level.”

“So our philosophy is to keep the eyes on the road and keep your hands on the wheel, and then you could very quickly look at what are your frequent-use interactions. There aren’t many… but you want them to stay as physical buttons because those are things I want to adjust without looking away.”

Hyundai design boss Luc Donckerwolke added that finding the correct screen size—and making it usable –will also be a key part of the next-generation cabins.

“It is always a part of the balance between having the right screen that provides you with the information in a size that allows you to concentrate on driving,” Donckerwolke said.
