What do you think of this idea thing from Nissan with the X-trail

I saw this instrument cluster in the middle of a x-trail i get why they did it so they don’t have to change much when switching the driver side but i think it is a little dangerous to have it in the middle and be looking forward as well what do you guys think.

I’ve never seen a RHD Bmw Z8, and that one has cluster in the middle, cause you know, it’s only a tricky to drive 400hp rwd monster, you’ll be fine with looking in the middle as you time your shifts.

I own a Nissan Xtrail and it helps a lot having it in the middle because you can look over for 1 second and then look back instead of looking straight at the dashboard in front of you. People wouldn’t be able to afford the insurance on the car until they’ve owned at least 3 cars so they will be experienced enough right?

Mini and some toyotas also, i drive toyota yaris with intrument cluster in middle and it’s same as cluster in front of you. And maybe it’s even better because (in my case) steering wheel blocks the view because i am very tall. But of course standard clusters with actual hands are ftw

That’s also a feature on the previous version of the Chevrolet spark… I can only find a purpose for that and is that your mother can yell at you when you’re driving “too fast”
