We Tried Audi’s Revised Infotainment System to See If It’s Better

Audi replaced touch controls on the steering wheel with physical scroll wheels’ and simplified the dash displays. We tried the new setup in a 2027 Q6 e-tron.

Like many automakers, Audi is listening to the backlash towards touch-sensitive controls. It’s been implementing subtle changes to its infotainment interface and other controls to improve the user interface, and we recently got a chance to try these updates in a 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron. The Q6 e-tron (and its A6 e-tron sedan stablemate) launched for the 2025 model year. After skipping the 2026 model year, the 2027 model-year examples of these EVs underwent changes to the steering wheel to incorporate more physical controls and to the MMI infotainment software to simplify the interface. Similar changes have been propagating across the Audi lineup since.

To start, there are new physical scroll wheels on the two steering-wheel spokes. The one on the left spoke controls the digital gauge cluster and cycles through different screens, while the one on the right spoke is a volume knob. There are still haptic buttons on the new wheel, but they’re responsive, and we prefer this setup to the previous one, which had only touch-sensitive buttons. The wheels are both simpler to use and have a satisfying click.

Audi also says it simplified the menu structures and changed the appearance of the display of its MMI infotainment interface, seen both on the central display screen and in the digital gauge cluster.
