Earlier this month, Apple announced the launch of CarPlay Ultra, which is the long-awaited next generation version of its in-vehicle software system. CarPlay Ultra is currently limited to luxury Eston Martin vehicles in the US and Canada, but Apple said that many other vehicle manufacturers around the world are working to introduce it within the following year.
We asked more than a dozen vehicle manufacturers about their carplay ultra plan, and we have scored their reactions below. Unfortunately, but perhaps indefinitely, most companies had nothing to say about their future plans, and they do not want to disturb the apple by dividing the information ahead of time.
Apple’s announcement revealed that Hyundai, with its Kia and Genesis Brands, are among the vehicle manufacturers who are committed to offering CarPlay Ultra. A Hyundai spokesperson confirmed that the automaker intends to offer CarPlay Ultra, and is planning to share additional information when possible in future.
A Volvo spokesperson said it was one of the vehicle manufacturers included in the Apple list when he first announced the next generation carplay in June 2022. However, the company did not confirm whether it is still planning to offer CarPlay Ultra.
From 2022 that basic list was as follows:
- Malevolent
- Audi
- Paid
- Honda
- Infinity
- Jaguar
- land Rover
- Lincoln
- Mercedes Benz
- Nissan
- Poustar
- Porsche
- Renault
- Volvo
Porsche preceded its next generation carplay instrument cluster design at the end of 2023, but the automaker has not updated since then.
Mercedes-Benz is Since the lack of desire is expressed To allow Apple to handle its software experience, so it cannot offer Carplay Ultra after all.
Porsche and Mercedes-Benz have not yet responded to our inquiry.
According to a company spokesperson, Subaru will assess CarPlay Ultra for future vehicle models in his lineup. Mazda offered a vague response, in which a representative was confirmed that the company is always evaluating new techniques to provide the best customer experience, without mentioning CarPlay Ultra.
GM dug the carplay in its new EVS, so it is difficult to see the automaker adopting the carplay ultra in its brands like Chevrolet, Buke, GMC and Cadilac.
A Ford spokesperson refused to comment, while other vehicle manufacturers such as BMW, GM and Toyota have not yet responded to our inquiry.
A Honda spokesperson said that the automaker was among the first people to offer regular carplays, as it gives importance to technology and customer’s in-car user experience. However, there was nothing to announce about CarPlay Ultra at this time.
As the title of this article clarified, these reactions are not much. Most of the automakers offered non-hsar, or north north, which aligns with the confidentiality of the culture of the apple. But, wanted to share what we used to hear.
Carplay Ultra has a deeper integration with a vehicle tool cluster and system, underlying radio and climate app, adaptable widget, and more. The interface corresponds to the identity of each vehicle model and the automaker, and the driver can also adjust the color scheme. To know more, read our coverage of Apple’s announcement.
