Interior and tech The interior of the Model Y, as you would expect, continues the ethos of minimalism from the exterior. The car has very few physical controls, stark black or white materials (like the vegan leather), and a large screen at the front. That display sits in at 15.4 inches, and it’s how you’ll interact with Tesla’s relatively well-designed infotainment system. The car doesn’t support CarPlay or Android Auto, but its mapping system works great, and it supports many of the top streaming services, including the likes of Spotify and Apple Music. It’s also where you’ll access the various cameras dotted around the Tesla, as well as the self-driving features you’ll have access to. The interior of the BMW iX is less minimalistic, though still quite premium. After having driven both of these cars, I can say the iX’s seats are more comfortable, and the materials seem a little more premium. The fact that there are at least some physical controls is nice too — even though you’ll still have to access things like climate controls through the display. Ronan Glon / Digital Trends Unlike the Model Y, the iX has two displays at the front — one for infotainment and one for instrument monitoring. The displays are high-end and vibrant, even though they’re not as big as the Model Y’s screen. BMW’s iDrive infotainment isn’t as well-designed either. It’s not horrible — and it’s better than it used to be. But it’s generally difficult to navigate and, at times, slow. Thankfully, the iX supports CarPlay and Android Auto. Overall, the tech in the Model Y is more advanced, however the interior of the BMW is nicer. This one’s a tie. Winner: Tie
