What car has modern tech but not lots of touchscreens?

I am 82, so my responses are slowing down. I am still an advanced driver and I am looking for a car with high technology levels but without the plethora of touchscreens and distracting controls which are, in my opinion, more dangerous than using a mobile phone

If you are looking for a modern car but one with a less touchscreen-heavy approach, you may wish to consider something like the Dacia Jogger, which has a modest touchscreen but physical controls and buttons for many of the systems. Unfortunately modern cars are universally taking the touchscreen route so they are limited options.

It's a genuine bargain. Seven seats as standard. A big boot if used as a five-seater. Frugal 1.0-litre engine plus excellent hybrid. Dacia performs well in the Honest John Satisfaction Index.
