I recommend taking a look at Audi. No touchscreens. Smart functionality. Tactile buttons for everything. I love my 2018 A5 Sportback.

+1 to this. Even CarPlay is controlled via knob instead of touchscreen, which makes it less distracting, IMO.

Car people would kill me for saying this, but look at Kia and Hyundai. I drive a 2015 Forte and I think its touchscreen system makes a lot of sense. It has physical volume and seek knobs, buttons to change audio sources or show the map, and physical climate controls. Their steering wheel control layout is also one of the best I've seen.

I'm a "car person", and I would say that Kia and Hyundai are really damn good cars, these days.

I'm in the UK - I went for a SEAT Alhambra (we tend to have to ferry our kids and their friends on camping holidays)
