Cars With the Most Screens, Ranked

Is the Cadillac Escalade really the king of in-car TVs? We counted every factory display in the most screen-happy cars on sale. The winner isn't a Cadillac.

Connor's question was blunt: what cars have the most TVs in them? Is it the Escalade? We counted, and the Escalade comes close. It doesn't win.

How we counted

We counted every factory-installed display a buyer can get on one car: the gauge cluster, the infotainment screen, passenger screens, rear entertainment screens, climate and control screens, factory rear tablets, and digital rearview mirrors (they're screens too). When a source says one big pane of glass hides two separate displays, we count two. Head-up displays are listed but not counted, because a reflection on the windshield isn't a screen.

Every count assumes the car is loaded with the options it needs, and we note them. We only list total screen inches when a source states one.

So, the Escalade?

The 2025 Escalade ties for second place with six screens, and only if you tick the Executive Second Row box. Its famous 55-inch dash is really two displays under one pane of glass: 35 inches for the driver and 20 for the passenger, polarized so the driver can't watch the passenger's movie while driving. Add the 11-inch climate screen below it, the rear console touchscreen and two 12.6-inch seatback screens, and you get six. That's a lot of glass, but it's still two short of a Jeep.

The winner is a Jeep

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer Series III comes with seven screens as standard, MotorTrend says, adding up to about 75 inches of display. Jeep then offers a digital rearview mirror, which makes eight. There's even a 10.3-inch screen in the second row whose only job is climate and seat controls. Jeep's own page brags that you can mute and pause the rear screens from up front, which is the most parental feature on the list.

Honorable weirdness

  • The biggest single screen here is BMW's 31.3-inch Theater Screen. It folds down from the headliner, and The Verge noted it completely blocks the driver's view in the rearview mirror when it's down.
  • The Li L9 has no regular gauge cluster. It uses a head-up display and a tiny screen in the middle of the steering wheel instead. Top Gear called that steering-wheel screen a gimmick that "works better than it has any right to."
  • Head-up displays don't count, but if they did, the L9 and the BMW would each gain one.

What we couldn't count

We left out cars where we couldn't pin down a full, sourced count: the Range Rover, Rolls-Royce's current lineup, the Kia EV9, the current Honda Odyssey and the Aito M9. If you have a manufacturer spec sheet for any of them, send it to the tip line and we'll slot it in.
