SEOUL, April 30, 2026 – Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) today unveiled Pleos Connect, a next-generation in-vehicle infotainment system designed to fundamentally transform the customer mobility experience. As the first major step in the Group’s transformation into a software-centric mobility leader, Pleos Connect is built on three core development pillars—intuitiveness, safety, and openness—to combine a mobile-friendly user environment with advanced artificial intelligence (AI), creating a highly scalable and intuitive platform. The system will receive continuous feature and performance enhancements via over-the-air (OTA) software updates. The system will debut on the new GRANDEUR in Korea in May, followed by a phased global rollout, including the recently unveiled IONIQ 3 in Europe. The Group aims to equip approximately 20 million Hyundai Motor, Kia and Genesis vehicles with Pleos Connect by 2030, reinforcing its leadership in future mobility solutions. “Pleos Connect is a next-generation infotainment system that offers customers an elevated mobility experience by combining a mobile-friendly platform with advanced AI technology. With the new Gleo AI and an open app market, users will experience the limitless potential of future mobility.” – Jongwon Lee, Senior Vice President and Head of the Feature & CCS Sub-Division at Hyundai Motor Group. The production-ready system debuted at a media event at UX Studio Seoul on April 29. It represents the mass-production version of the research and development concept first unveiled at the Group’s Pleos 25 developer conference in 2025. The design of Pleos Connect is centered on intuitiveness and simplicity, featuring a combination of touch and physical controls for convenient and seamless operation. The system’s user experience (UX), developed through extensive research into driver behavior by the Group’s UX Studios in Seoul, Irvine, Frankfurt and Shanghai, mirrors the familiarity of a mobile device to enhance ease of use and minimize driver distraction.
