There’s no denying that driving is changing and that driving technology is changing. Along with those changes, we’re changing how drivers get information about how their vehicles are performing and even basic information like the speed of the vehicle and how much fuel is left in the tank.
These 10 awesome cars with digital speedometers are some of the most groundbreaking in that category and are changing the way drivers get information about the speed of their vehicles.
Of course, we’re looking at more than just the digital speedometer here. We’re looking for vehicles that are awesome on their own and have a digital speedometer kicking the vehicle into even better performance.
Porsche Panamera
When it comes to luxury vehicles, Porsche has a big reputation. The Panamera is a little different for the brand, and some consumers might still be surprised to see a sedan from this manufacturer.
That said, this vehicle offers a lot of performance just like you’d expect from a Porsche and has an impressive set of technologies and cabin features to make it a joy to drive. The digital speedometer is one of the most interesting innovations but also makes this vehicle easier to drive.
Lincoln Continental
The Lincoln Continental might be one of those cars you imagine an older version of rather than the most recent releases, but the Lincoln Continental also has a lot of updated and innovative features in addition to the classic roots.
The digital speedometer is incredibly easy to read and gives you a lot of information quickly. That’s one of the huge advantages of a digital speedometer, along with the other driving innovations included in the car.

You won’t realize how outdated other car searching apps are until you try the CoPilot car shopping app. CoPilot does the hard work for you by searching all of the listings in your area and intelligently creating a personalized list of the best buys in the area that match what you’re looking for.
Audi A4
The A4 is a bit more of a family vehicle than we’d typically expect from Audi, but that doesn’t mean that they dropped the ball on the technology included in the vehicle. A digital speedometer is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Virtual Cockpit included with the A4, which is great news for consumers.
In addition to giving the user a lot more information, the A4 also comes with a lot of additional driving features to help make the driver’s job easier and safer.
Audi A8
The A8 is a little different than the A4, and more of the kind of luxury vehicle we expect to see from Audi. It’s also an incredibly comfortable vehicle for drivers and passengers alike, which, when combined with the advanced digital speedometer and the other innovations in design, won Audi an additional slot on this list despite having a relatively similar dash setup.
Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
These vehicles are incredibly advanced in a lot of different ways, which is important because you’d expect to see an advanced digital speedometer to go with the other impressive innovations on this design.
The instrument panel is also incredibly intuitive, which is important to think about since a lot of vehicles with an updated digital speedometer are difficult to read or provide more information than a lot of drivers are interested in seeing.
In terms of other performance features, the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell does fantastic on the road and is one of the best-advanced technology vehicles on the road.
8 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN BUYING A USED CAR
So you’re in the market for a used vehicle? We’ve gone ahead and prepped some essential questions to ask when buying a used car.
Chevrolet Volt
The Volt is a powerful hybrid model and is fantastic both as a hybrid as one of the best recent models out of Chevrolet.
This vehicle offers a large LCD screen to give drivers information, and there are a few configuration options that let you customize what you see and what kinds of alerts and other information you’re getting from the vehicle. Even the most basic version, though, will always give you the speed of the vehicle.
Tesla Model 3
The Model 3 is an interesting dash option in that it doesn’t have one. Instead, the Model 3 has perhaps the most futuristic digital display of any of the options on this list. It’s got a touch screen style display that gives drivers information about their current speed and the predicted electric drive range based on current performance and speed.
That’s a lot of important information for electric car drivers to have, but it also means that you aren’t getting a lot of the information that drivers are used to having.
Of course, the dash is only one of the big changes to the Model 3 compared with standard consumer vehicles, and there are a lot of other innovations packed into the vehicle.
Tesla Model S
Talking about any kind of vehicle innovation, it should be no surprise to see two Tesla vehicles on this list. Tesla is known as a trendsetter, even if the manufacturer has some other problems and doesn’t always meet expectations in terms of getting vehicles out of the factory and onto dealership lots.
The dash on the Model S is simple to start with but actually offers a lot of revolutionary information, including the digital speedometer. However, no temperature gauge or engine revolution meter means that this dash may feel very different for a lot of consumers.
THE BEST CARS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
Whether you’re squeezing into a tight campus parking spot or hauling ten loads of laundry back home, these best cars for college students will get you, your friends, and your stuff where you’re going.
2019 Infinity QX50
If you’re looking at an Infinity QX50 and you’re curious about the new dash, you’re in the right place. The 9-inch display area is actually on the windscreen and is projected up there from the dash. That means drivers do need to adjust their field of view slightly to accommodate the information from the projector, but there is a second included display.
The second display is an 8-inch touchscreen, which gives you most of your information about navigation, while a lower 7-inch touchscreen provides more climate control and entertainment.
That said, this combination is powerful and gives you a lot of information in a quickly and easily readable manner.
2009 Lamborghini Reventon
The Lamborghini Reventon is one of the supercars that is taking a bit of a risk and modernizing some of the display and dash features. We have to praise the Reventon even more than just taking the risk because, in this case, the risk really works.
The design does take some getting used to, especially since you can get a lot more information than with a traditional dash. But if you’re up for the learning curve about this vehicle, you’ll be rewarded with better performance and improved control of your vehicle.
