Hangzhou, China, October 17, 2026 -- Geely Holding Group (ZGH) today announced a global strategic partnership with Google to bring built-in Google Automotive Services to digital cockpits in all eligible ZGH portfolio brand vehicles in overseas markets where Google services are available. The first vehicle application is planned for the second half of 2027 in global markets outside of China and the United States, subject to applicable product, regulatory and market-readiness requirements.

At roll-out, eligible ZGH overseas vehicles will come with built-in Google services including Google Gemini, Play, Maps and more. This fully integrated system delivers a comprehensive set of capabilities featuring a multimodal intelligent voice large model, global smart navigation, seamless cross-device connectivity, and an extensive portfolio of in-vehicle applications to elevate everyday journeys by making them easier and more convenient while keeping drivers’ attention where it belongs: on the road.
This partnership builds on other ZGH portfolio brands' long-standing partnerships with Google, including the Polestar 2 which has featured the built-in services beginning in 2020. The next roll out of Google services will be included in ZGH passenger vehicles from Geely, Lynk & Co., Proton, Riddara, and smart among others.
“People increasingly expect the same level of convenience and connectivity in their cars as they enjoy in their everyday lives,” said Dr. Shen Yuan, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, ZGH. “Through our partnership with Google, we are bringing digital services directly into our vehicles to create a more seamless, intuitive and enjoyable driving experience.”
For ZGH, meeting customers where they are means recognizing that digital habits and service ecosystems differ by market. The partnership is intended to connect customers to eligible ZGH portfolio brand vehicles through the familiar and global-leading Google digital ecosystem, helping deliver an improved customer experience.
"We are excited to bring Google built-in to more vehicles in ZGH’s portfolio," said Haris Ramic, Android for Cars Product Director at Google. "With this collaboration, we’re transforming the in-car experience for ZGH customers by providing drivers with their favorite apps, intuitive navigation and a personal AI assistant right from their dashboard."
Additional information on supported models, markets, features and timing will be announced as the rollout progresses. Customers should refer to their local ZGH portfolio brand websites and authorized retail channels for the latest information.

The dining table disappeared beneath a lavish procession of dishes. Our family took food seriously. It was sacred, even. Dinner was never merely about eating. It was the one time each day when everyone was expected to gather, regardless of schedules, moods or whatever else the world demanded outside that room. At the centre sat the pièce de résistance: a whole steamed fish, usually sea bass, topped with ribbons of ginger and spring onion in a fragrant pool of oil and soy sauce. Alongside it were...
Archaeologists have long found a disturbing pattern in the graves of ancient rulers: the dead were sometimes accompanied by other dead. Around royal tombs, the remains of people – who appear to have been killed specifically to follow their masters into the afterlife – lie alongside precious objects and weapons. A new study from Egypt has brought this practice back into the news. At the ancient royal cemetery of Abydos, archaeologists re-examined the skulls of people buried around the tombs of...

Paramount Pictures just premiered its live-action reboot film Street Fighter starring Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa and Callina Liang. The film’s plot follows the game’s fighter avatars Ryu (Koji) and his estranged...
