Naver App, Map, and Whale to be Integrated into Hyundai's SDV, Expanding Mobility Cooperation

Naver is significantly deepening its mobility partnership with Hyundai Motor Group, integrating its core digital services into the automaker's next-generation in-car infotainment system. Starting with the new Grandeur, Naver's app, map, and Whale browser will be available on Hyundai's 'Pleos Connect' platform.

This move marks a substantial expansion of the collaboration between the tech giant and the automotive leader. The integration is set to roll out to other Hyundai Motor Group vehicles, including the upcoming all-new Avante, which is scheduled for release within the year.

By embedding these popular Naver services directly into the vehicle's system, the partnership aims to provide a seamless and enhanced digital experience for drivers and passengers. This strategic alliance underscores the growing trend of integrating advanced digital ecosystems into automobiles, promising a more connected and convenient in-car environment.
