Maybe it's intentional to appeal to their existing client base who tend to be older (Every time i've been in for a service i'm the youngest Volvo driver by about 20 years 🤣).That main infotainment screen looks so incredibly dated. Not sure why Volvo is continuing to roll that out.
There does look like some strange changes to this new version but to be honest when i'm driving I do everything through Siri Voice Control and just use the screen for maps.
I never use the driver display for built in satnav/maps only the centre console as I use Waze. It would be amazing if Waze worked dual screen!
