HYUNDAI LAUNCHES PLEOS CONNECT WITH GLEO AI VOICE

Pleos Connect represents Hyundai's push into advanced in-vehicle technology as automakers integrate AI assistants into their platforms. The Gleo voice assistant handles natural conversations, reducing the need for rigid command structures that characterize earlier voice systems. The new infotainment system will first appear on the Grandeur, Hyundai's flagship sedan in the South Korean market. The May launch timeline suggests the company is accelerating deployment of AI-driven features across its lineup. Hyundai joins competitors including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and others in developing proprietary or customized AI assistants for vehicles. These systems typically manage navigation, climate control, entertainment, and vehicle settings through voice commands. The company has not yet announced plans to bring Pleos Connect to markets outside South Korea, though global expansion could follow a successful domestic rollout.
