Hyundai Motor Unveils Tesla-Inspired New Infotainment System

Hyundai Motor Co. unveiled a next-generation infotainment system — anchored by a new AI voice assistant capable of natural, multi-step conversations — as South Korea’s top automaker accelerates its shift toward software-defined vehicles.

The new Pleos Connect system, which draws on Tesla Inc.’s minimalist aesthetic, pairs a wide central screen touch display designed to stay within the driver’s line of sight. Hyundai has retained physical controls on the steering wheel and below the screen to improve safety and usability.
