CEO Lei Jun says the SU7 will have interior hardware upgrades and accessories. That includes a docking unit that adds a row of buttons and switches to the touch screen.

Touchscreen lovers and touchscreen haters rejoice: We don’t have to be at each other’s throats anymore. The soon-to-go-on-sale, Chinese-market Xiaomi SU7 can go both ways. If you’re unsatisfied with a purely touch-only interface, Xiaomi will happily sell you a user-installed row of hard keys and switches for the SU7. The Xiaomi SU7 is such a hard car to read. On some level, its exterior styling appears a little too inspired by the Porsche Taycan.

Initially, Xiaomi is showing off a set of piano keys and a volume knob called a docking unit. It mounts right at the bottom edge of the screen. Jun’s presentation implied that there could be other add-ons available for the SU7 in the future. This sounds like the best of both worlds for so many drivers. For many Chinese EV drivers, physical hard buttons are often associated with old-school cars, thus the prevalence of huge touchscreens in that market.
