NIO FIREFLY

touchscreen is the absolute nerve centre of the car, controlling nearly every conceivable function, including the air-conditioning vents.

Besides the usual one-finger poke and swipe gestures, running two fingers at specific segments of the screen will activate certain shortcuts to control the music volume and fan speed.

To help users, there is a builtin video tutorial in the infotainment system showing the tricks.

Although a digital native will probably feel quite at ease with the interface, it can be a bit unnerving for others. A tech-savvy user may also appreciate the single unmarked button on the steering wheel spokes which can be configured, but, ultimately, it is not as user-friendly as conventional switches for, say, mirror controls.

There is bad news for the Android smartphone crowd because only Apple CarPlay is available at the moment, with Android Auto coming soon.
