The tests were conducted as follows. The test pilot was tasked with raising the temperature in the cabin by two degrees, increasing the fan speed by two notches, setting a route in the navigator and reducing its scale (to see the entire route at a glance), canceling the route, tuning the radio (turning it on, selecting a radio station), and using voice control to find the nearest gas station. Also taken into account was whether the system lagged or not. And if so, how much. Here are the results obtained.
It turned out that the information screen in the electric crossover MG ZS EV is the most confusing – it scored only 12 out of 30 possible points. The second most inconvenient is the display of the infotainment system in the FIAT 500X, which earned only 14 points. But the BMW 3-Series multimedia performed the best – it scored 28 out of 30 possible points.

Recall that earlier AvtoPortal wrote that WhatCar? compiled a rating of the most unreliable cars up to 20 years old. But there is also a list of more recent most problematic models – up to 8 years old.
