Technology continues to change our habits, including our cars. For example, the vehicles we own today come with features like electric engines, driving assistance, and even self-driving capabilities. A recent study by Canalys revealed the scale of this transformation, showing that multi-screen smart cockpits are becoming the standard in China’s electric vehicles, with an adoption rate of 82.7%.

Multi-screen smart cockpits to become standard in China’s electric vehicles

According to the Canalys report, multi-screen smart cockpits are becoming the standard in China’s electric vehicles. In the first quarter of 2023, the market penetration rate of smart cockpits in China reached 82.7%, higher than the global average of 74.3%. The report found that mainstream joint venture brands are relatively conservative in their transition to smart cockpits, with an overall penetration rate of 55.1%.

Luxury brands, on the other hand, are actively investing in smart cockpits and have achieved high penetration rates. According to the report, 90% of EVs sold in China in the first quarter of 2023 had a display screen of 10 inches or larger, with 12-15.9-inch screens accounting for 74.1% of the market.

Analysis by Canalys found that of the top 10 EV brands in China by sales (with a market share of 70.6%), only Wuling, which focuses on the entry-level market (less than 80,000 yuan), and some entry-level low-end models from BYD and Chery do not have a display. Multi-screen displays are more common in domestic EV brands, while only Mercedes-Benz and Porsche among luxury brands have adopted multi-screen displays.

Currently, only four brands, including SAIC Zhiji, BAIC Arcfox, Cadillac, and NIO, use displays of 18 inches or larger. Canalys said that the rapid adoption of multi-screen smart cockpits in China is driven by a number of factors, including the increasing popularity of EVs, the growing demand for intelligent driving and entertainment features, and the falling cost of display technology.
