Overview
- Hyundai says Pleos Connect starts production in May 2026 on the facelifted Grandeur in South Korea, with the Ioniq 3 confirmed as the first model in Europe.
- Built on Android Automotive OS, the setup uses a large split central touchscreen plus a slim driver display and keeps physical buttons for quick climate and media control.
- At the core is Gleo AI, a large‑language‑model voice assistant that understands natural speech, handles multiple requests in one go, and targets the correct seat based on who spoke.
- An open App Market and the Pleos Playground developer platform bring native apps such as YouTube, Spotify, Naver and genie, with new features delivered via over‑the‑air updates.
- Hyundai plans to equip roughly 20 million Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles with Pleos Connect by 2030, making the software stack a foundation for future models.
