Abstract
A dial-type shifting control apparatus of vehicles may include a dial bezel and an upper cover integrated into a single body to be rotated together when a dial is rotated, obviating formation of an operation gap between the dial bezel and the upper cover to prevent foreign substances from entering through the operation gap, and a button guide disposed under an upper cover attenuates an impact occurring when a P-gear button is returned, and thus to prevent noise, caused by striking of the upper cover when the P-gear button is returned, from being transmitted to the interior of a vehicle.
