3. Futuristic digital cockpit
Enter the modern world of technology with two 12.3-inch screens at the heart of the Alpine B8’s digital cockpit. First, one high-resolution screen displays instrumentation and information relevant to your current trip. Plus, adjust the dashboard based on your preferences, driving mode, and current features. Then, a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen at center stage displays the infotainment functions. You pick how you interact with the infotainment system using touch, gesture, or traditional physical controls.
