Speedo/Tach display options?
Greetings,
I have been considering the purchase of a 2022 V6 ES350 mostly due to the updated touchscreen and the last year for a CD player. At this point, I have only one question and it's about the instrument dash display that shows the round face of a tachometer with an embedded and centered digital speedo. In every picture I have seen of the dash the display always shows the face of a tach with a digital speedometer centered in that tach. Is it possible to change the dash display to show a more conventional speedometer, with or without a side-by-side tach. It seems odd to me that a luxury car such as an ES350 would have such a prominent tach (like a Porsche) and minimal/secondary speedo display; in a sports car sure, but an ES? I have not been able to search an online owner's manual or view any image which shows a different dash view. Has anyone found a way to change the display to a speedo predominate presentation? Thank you for your help in this small matter. John.

Gentlemen,
Thank you so much for the spot-on information. Mike for differentiating the Sport model (good to know!), grp52 for the specific Owner's Manual page reference + YouTube link (almost 2 hrs long and by a slow talking, pro instructor, no less), and Shaboom for the enthusiastic endorsement (nothing better than personal & experienced advice). My favorite display is the ANALOG version with its conventional 270+ degree arc speedo and smaller 180 degree arc Tach in the center. It's silly I know, but the kid in me is thrilled to see a 160 mph speedometer and 8,000 RPM Tach; makes me feel 10-12 years old again. :-)
What a great forum and source of ready information. Many thanks, John 67 y/o
