Since the e-tron was their first EV and based on these models they used the dual screen setup. The e-tron GT was the first to use the hard buttons for the HVAC and some other controls, and it looks like that will be how the rest of the lineup will be setup. Hope Audi also moves their ICE modes to the same config.
I’ll admit that this is one area I feel Audi absolutely nailed it. The lower screen for climate control is excellent. When it was first revealed I wasn’t convinced but using it every day I can say that no other touch screen based climate system comes close.

The iX by comparison has some persistent controls on the iDrive screen but I think they want you to use “Hey BMW” as much as possible.
