So you have to use the display dictated by the drive mode? If I use the Smart mode I can't use the Carbon Fiber display?

If you have your cluster set to "Linked to Drive Mode" then yes. Otherwise you can select from the 4 options (A, B, C, Cube) to be the default no matter what drive mode you are in.

Logically all they need is to allow a user setting per drive-mode. That should be dead simple, since it's all software options. That's a bit disappointing.

There's a LOT they could do with some extra code. You would think they would take advantage of something so easy and cost effective.

I wish it could be configured with Classic B in Sport and Classic C in all other drive modes. I doubt it's possible though.

From how I understand it, you're not able to configure it that way.

I like the classic B a lot, but admit I don't hate classic C at all. What I would have LOVED is if Hyundai would have given us a way to create our own dial art. They are, after all, just some basic images on a screen. Animations may be trickier for custom, but still ... how fun would that be?

Obviously its all personal preference but for me... I despise white gauges. Classic B is nice for the red but I'm not a huge fan of carbon fiber. I'll be setting mine up for Classic C. As for other options, yes, it would be nice for some additional customization. i.e. replace tach with navigation info, music, etc. I know Mercedes allows for a LOT of customization of their digital clusters but of course, that's a luxury brand so I would not expect Hyundai to be anywhere near that level. That said, it's really just a matter of software code; so adding in a little bit of customization (beyond style of gauges) should not be too hard. Oh well, I'm happy at least I don't have to look at white gauges.

Need photos for examples.

Added to original post. Best I could get from some screen grabs from Alex on Autos' video. Recommend you check out his review for a breakdown of the gauge cluster options.
