Hyundai Motor Group held a media day on the 29th at 'UX Studio Seoul' in Seoul's Gangnam-gu district, officially unveiling 'Pleos Connect,' the next-generation infotainment system scheduled for release this May. 'Pleos Connect' is a key outcome of Hyundai Motor Group's SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle) transformation initiative, built on three core development philosophies: intuitiveness, safety, and openness.

The system is characterized by its implementation of large-screen and slim displays, an AI agent 'Gleo AI,' and an open 'App Market,' creating an environment similar to a smart device within the vehicle. The central large-screen display is divided into a left-side 'Driving Information Screen' that shows essential driving data and a right-side 'App Screen' for operating navigation and media. To enhance safety, a slim display is positioned in front of the driver's seat to provide core driving information while minimizing eye movement.

Notably, Gleo AI, based on a large language model (LLM), understands the user's intent and conversational context to execute advanced voice commands. It can sequentially process multi-command inputs such as "Turn off the air conditioner and turn on the radio," and through voice recognition functions by seat location, it allows individual control of features like seat heaters in the zone where the speaker is located.

Through its proprietary App Market, users can directly run external service apps such as YouTube, Spotify, and Naver Maps within the vehicle. Hyundai Motor Group plans to build the 'Pleos Playground' platform, which allows external developers to freely create vehicle apps, provide vehicle APIs, and expand the ecosystem.

Hyundai Motor Group will first equip 'The New Grandeur,' scheduled for release this May, with Pleos Connect. Following this, the company plans to gradually expand the application to Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles sold worldwide, aiming to equip approximately 20 million vehicles by 2030 to strengthen its position in the global SDV market.
