Comment on Instrument clusters are now paid extras in two Hyundai models

Comments

If you looked at the new 4runner and land cruiser, it's essentially the same thing but packaged in a higher trim.

At the same time, what do you really need in an instrument cluster besides the fuel, rpm/battery charge and speedometer?

Engine/coolant temperature can be pretty important.

thats hidden nowadays and its a light vs a gauge but agree

Only if towing

I have needed more than the light on at least two occasions, neither towing.

A modern vehicle overheating? Like did you need to limp it home or something

Absolutely limping, both cases. The gauge let me judge exactly how far I was pushing it in my limping, and gave me an idea of whether and how soon I needed to find a place to stop for a while.
