Hyundai cars in India, like the Creta and Alcazar, are already known for their feature-packed cabins and good infotainment systems. But Hyundai is now planning something even bigger – a complete overhaul of its infotainment and user interface system with a brand-new software called Hyundai Pleos.
Unveiled recently, this Hyundai infotainment software update aims to bring a more high-tech, personalised and connected driving experience. Let’s break down what Hyundai Pleos is and why it matters for future Hyundai car buyers in India.
✅ What is Hyundai Pleos Software?
Hyundai introduced the Pleos operating system at the Pleos 25 Developer Conference in Seoul. It’s not just an infotainment update – Hyundai is aiming to become a major mobility tech company, and Pleos is the backbone of that shift.
Pleos is based on Android Automotive OS, which means it’s highly customisable. It’s designed to work like a smartphone but inside your car. Here’s what you can expect:
- Large 15.6-inch infotainment screen
- Split-screen & multi-window view (watch map and music at the same time)
- Pre-loaded mobile apps integrated in the system
- Pleos ID – creates a personalised profile for each user
- Over-the-Air (OTA) updates to add new features easily
- Connected car features that evolve with time
Hyundai will start using Pleos software in new cars by mid-2026, and the company plans to install it in over 20 million vehicles globally by 2030.
🚗 Hyundai Pleos in India – What It Means for You
With Hyundai’s new infotainment system, car owners in India can expect:
- Faster and smoother touchscreen response
- Customised driver profiles – perfect if multiple family members drive the car
- EV range improvement through software updates
- Enhanced navigation and real-time traffic info
- Stronger ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) support
- More features without visiting a service centre thanks to OTA updates
This is a major leap from the current infotainment systems found in Hyundai Creta, Alcazar, Verna, and others.
💻 Pleos Playground – App Store for Hyundai Cars
To make this new infotainment system even more useful, Hyundai has built something called Pleos Playground. This is a platform for app developers to create and publish apps for Hyundai’s infotainment system, just like the Google Play Store.
It includes:
- Android Automotive OS SDK
- Developer tools & APIs
- Sample codes and design guides
- Pleos App Market – where users can download new apps for their car
This means that future Hyundai cars in India will have access to new apps, better entertainment options, and possibly even Indian-specific apps for navigation, music, or food delivery.
🧠 Why Hyundai Pleos is a Game-Changer
Hyundai isn’t just improving its car screens – it’s rethinking the entire in-car experience. With Pleos, Hyundai cars will become smarter, more personalised, and future-ready. It’s also a step towards better connected mobility, especially as we shift more towards electric vehicles (EVs) in India.
Imagine getting new features on your Hyundai Creta EV just like you update your smartphone!
📌 Final Thoughts
The Hyundai Pleos infotainment system is a big move for Hyundai, and it’s coming to future cars starting 2026. Indian customers can look forward to:
- Smarter infotainment systems
- Better integration with smartphones and apps
- Real-time updates and features
- Improved EV performance and ADAS systems
As Hyundai brings more connected cars and EVs to India, Pleos software will play a key role in enhancing customer satisfaction and digital experiences inside the car.
