Honda Adds Google Gemini to More Vehicles

Honda is making everyday driving even smarter with the addition of Google Gemini, Google’s latest AI-powered assistant, to a growing lineup of vehicles equipped with Google built-in. Drivers of select Honda models, including the Honda Civic, Accord, CR-V, Honda Pilot, and more, will soon enjoy a more natural, conversational way to access information, navigate, and control in-vehicle features—all without taking their focus off the road.  The integration of Google Gemini marks another step forward in Honda’s commitment to delivering advanced technology that enhances convenience, connectivity, and the overall driving experience.

“Connected technology is no longer a convenience for Honda customers – it’s an essential part of the driving experience,” said Jessika Laudermilk, assistant vice president of Honda National Auto Sales. “The integration of Google Gemini reflects our commitment to providing technology that enhances every journey to help Honda drivers stay informed, connected, and productive.”

What Is Google Gemini?

Google Gemini is Google’s next-generation AI assistant, designed to understand natural language and provide more helpful, personalized responses than traditional voice assistants. Instead of relying on simple commands, drivers can speak naturally and ask more complex questions while on the go. Whether you’re planning a road trip, searching for a nearby restaurant, or looking for local attractions, Gemini can respond with conversational answers and helpful recommendations. Because it’s integrated with Google built-in, drivers don’t need to connect a smartphone to take advantage of many of its features.

A Smarter Driving Experience

With Google Gemini onboard, everyday interactions become easier and more intuitive.

Drivers can simply say things like:

• “Find a family-friendly restaurant nearby.”
• “Where’s the closest charging station?”
• “What’s the weather like at my destination?”
• “Navigate to the nearest coffee shop.”
• “Tell me about the park we’re driving to.”

Gemini understands conversational requests and can even respond to follow-up questions, making voice interactions feel more natural than ever before.
