Is the Kia Carens X Line’s infotainment system actually useful or just a gimmick?

The infotainment system is big at 10.25 inches, and comes laden with features. It has smartphone connectivity, voice commands, navigation and even supports over the air updates. Kia has been touting the X Line trim’s system as a key selling point. But some users have found the system less responsive and easier to use. But there is a debate over whether such a complex infotainment system is really needed or useful in a family MPV, or whether it's simply a distraction from driving. But on the other side of the fence, tech enthusiasts say modern cars have to catch up with what consumers expect in terms of connectivity and smart features. That leads to questions about what technology should be in cars and if manufacturers are addressing the right areas for improvement.
