Hyundai Teams Up With Samsung For Next-Level Car Tech: Pleos Connect

With Pleos Connect, Hyundai is taking a giant leap forward. This next-gen multimedia platform has great promise, and it will begin to appear in Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles in 2026. Built on Android Automotive, it’s like having a high-end smartphone experience in your car—super easy to use, customizable, and even AI-powered.

Hyundai is not merely experimenting; they are fully committed. Their goal is to have Pleos Connect in 20 million cars by 2030. It’s designed to handle everything from smooth smartphone syncing to over-the-air updates, so your car stays as up-to-date as your phone, no dealer visits needed.

The cherry on top? Hyundai’s teaming up with Samsung Electronics to make all this happen. This partnership, which kicked off in late 2024, is all about building cars where the software is the star. Forget waiting for a whole new model just to get some cool new features—you’ll just get them through updates. It's all about making your car smarter and more flexible over time.
