Why are many cars’ screens slow and laggy when a $400 phone can have a smooth performance?

Lots of reasons.
First most old car manufacturers build cars, not Software, not Computers. So A lot of processes is focused around building a car as cheap as possible, software is still new for those old car brands. So Software only comes second in the design process and by that you already have the hardware set.
Development time of a car is a couple of years, so they have to use parts available at that time, being a couple of years behind already.
Then you have reliability and durability, a car has a much wider range where it must work than a phone. Car standing in the sun can easily reach more than 100°C and standing in freezing weather can easily go below 0°C, but the car still needs to be able to be useable.
Your phone will rarely be in an environment that’s not around room temperature and just shuts down if it turns too hot. Can’t do that in a car.
Last step saying money, why make it faster and more expensive?
A phone is promoted with how fast it is, in a car it doesn’t really matter that much if it reacts after 1 or 2 seconds.
