There are multiple things in a vehicle that drastically change the overall ownership experience of the vehicle. From a well laid out cabin to a plush interior with soft-touch material, all enhance the look and feel of the car. Moving on, one of the important aspects that can easily tell about the effort gone into the manufacturing of the car is the speedometer.

Gone are the days, when the driver saw an all-analogue speedometer. But there are car enthusiasts that do prefer an old school look over the new-age digital speedometer. That said, today, we’ll look at 10 such cars that offer the best of both worlds. These cars come with both an analogue dial and a digital screen for all the information for the driver. So, let’s begin.

1. Maruti Swift/Swift Dzire

Left to it is a small coloured screed that displays the RPM as well as other important information. PS. The new honda city comes with a G-Force meter.
