These kinds of digital instrument clusters were restricted to the luxury segment not that long ago, but have now become a lot more accessible
It is usual practice for technology that debuts on luxury cars to eventually make its way to the mass-market models and a recent feature following that trend has been the highly capable digital driver’s display. This screen in the instrument cluster offers a comprehensive setup, displaying multiple parameters and vehicle information using infographics, sometimes with visuals that can be personalized to preference. In this article, we've compiled a list of 5 ICE (internal combustion engine) powered SUVs, all priced under Rs 20 lakh, that offer a fully digital driver’s display.
Disclaimer: We have only selected SUVs that exclusively feature fully digital instrument clusters, providing a complete display setup, and not semi-digital setups (like the Renault Kiger) or digitised clusters (like the Hyundai Venue).
Tata Nexon
Variant: Fearless Onwards
Price: Rs 12.50 Lakh Onwards
The Tata Nexon has recently undergone a significant makeover in both design and features. One of the key upgrades in the facelifted Nexon is the introduction of the 10.25-inch fully digital driver’s display, available with the top-spec Fearless variant of the sub-4m SUV. This cluster can be synchronized with the infotainment screen, allowing the driver to view the map directly on the cluster using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
Other features onboard the Tata Nexon includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment, auto AC, wireless phone charging, ventilated and height-adjustable front seats, cruise control, and a 9-speaker JBL sound system. Safety is taken care of by 6 airbags (as standard), ABS with EBD, hill assist, electronic stability program (ESP), tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and a 360-degree camera.
Volkswagen Taigun/Skoda Kushaq

The Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq pair of compact SUVs come equipped with an 8-inch fully digital driver’s display in their respective top-spec variants, available with both 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine options. Essentially twins with different looks, we’re counting them as a combined single entity.
Talking about other features, both SUVs are loaded with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, ambient lighting, a single-pane sunroof, ventilated front seats, powered driver and co-driver seat.
