Hyundai Launches Refreshed Grandeur With 17-Inch Pleos System and Gleo AI

The update signals Hyundai’s shift to software-defined cars through a new Android-based platform with an AI assistant.

Overview

  • Hyundai launched the facelifted Grandeur in South Korea with the Pleos Connect system on a 17-inch screen, Gleo AI voice help, and over-the-air updates.
  • The large display splits driving data and app controls, and Hyundai brought back physical buttons below the screen to cut distraction.
  • New features include a Smart Vision Roof that lets riders tune transparency in six zones and a safety aid that curbs power and applies brakes if the driver presses the wrong pedal.
  • Hyundai listed four powertrains, including a next-generation hybrid rated at 249 hp with an about eight-second 0–100 km/h time.
  • Prices in Korea range from 41.8 million to 48.6 million won, and one outlet reported the hybrid’s fuel-efficiency certification was still pending at launch; Pleos is set to reach other models later in 2026.
