Mazda has shifted to much larger infotainment screens in recent models, notably fitting a 26-inch touchscreen in the CX-6e, a move defended by Jo Stenuit, Mazda’s Europe Design Director.
Jo Stenuit told Autoweek that a larger screen offers more ways to display information clearly and can invite the passenger to become part of the driving experience. He said a head-up display can replace a digital instrument cluster and helps drivers keep their eyes on the road.
Mazda’s other EV, developed with joint venture partner Changan in China, pairs a 10.2-inch instrument cluster with a 14.6-inch touchscreen in the 6e liftback, while the CX-5 is now offered with a 15.6-inch central display.
Tamara Mlynarczyk, manager of public affairs for Mazda North American Operations, said customer feedback drove a new human‑machine interface that favors a touchscreen center display to minimize hands away from the steering wheel, and Jo Stenuit said technology and market change are guiding Mazda’s interior direction.
