Citroën Ami is about as low tech as you can get.

If you want something more car-shaped, the Renault Zoe has very few tech feature.

Similarly, Kia Soul has a reversing camera… and that's about it! No radar, lane assist, carplay or anything like that.

Cstomers only want 3 things. A comfortable ride, a safe journey, and $thing. The problem is, everyone's one more thing is different. I want DAB radio, you want cruise control, she wants lane assist, he wants automatic parking.

Creating a dozen different SKUs for all those things is complicated. Getting regulatory approval for every variation is expensive.

So most manufacturers sell only a few variations of their models.
