Integrating Advanced AI Models With High-Performance Computing Powered by
Snapdragon Cockpit Elite Platform, LG Sets New Standards for the AI-Defined Vehicle Era
SEOUL, Dec. 11, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), a global leader in mobility technologies, is set to unveil its new AI Cabin Platform at CES 2026 in Las Vegas (January 6-9). Designed to run on automotive high-performance computing (HPC) systems, this innovative in-vehicle solution leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI) and is powered by Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.’s Snapdragon® Cockpit Elite.
LG will showcase the AI Cabin Platform for the first time at its private showcase during the upcoming CES, where guests can experience a digital cockpit featuring the AI Cabin Platform and preview the AI-defined vehicle (AIDV) – a new mobility paradigm beyond the software-defined vehicle (SDV).
The AI Cabin Platform applies generative AI models – such as vision language models (VLMs), large language models (LLMs) and image generation models – to LG’s in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system, opening the door to a new era of intelligent, context-aware driving experiences.
Leveraging the high-performance compute capabilities provided by Snapdragon Cockpit Elite, all AI calculations are processed on-device and within the vehicle, eliminating the need to communicate with external servers. This enables real-time, more stable operation while enhancing privacy and data security by removing cloud-related vulnerabilities.
The AI Cabin Platform analyzes the driving environment and the driver’s condition using data from internal and external vehicle cameras, enabling real-time personalized assistance. For example, if a nearby vehicle begins merging and the system detects that the driver has not yet noticed it, the platform can proactively issue a tailored alert: “A car is merging ahead. Please keep your eyes on the road and drive safely.”
Additionally, the platform supports generation of customized infotainment user interfaces that adapt to external conditions. If the driver is listening to music on a snowy evening, the system can generate a matching background for the music playback screen – such as snow falling between streetlights or a festively-decorated village – and offer context-aware suggestions like: “It’s a beautiful snowy night. Shall I recommend some winter-themed songs?”
Earlier this year at CES 2025, LG and Qualcomm Technologies highlighted their ongoing collaboration by unveiling the HPC platform – a high-performance computing solution that integrates IVI and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) into a single control unit. Based on Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Ride Flex System-on-Chip (SoC), the platform consolidates various vehicle functions into one controller, earning praise for achieving both cost efficiency and superior performance.
“Based on our proven technology and global trust, we will continue expanding partnerships with innovators like Qualcomm Technologies to drive future mobility beyond the SDV to the AIDV,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. “With the AI Cabin Platform, we are creating mobility that not only understands drivers, but responds proactively to their needs and preferences, making every journey uniquely personal.”

Located inside THE MART (formerly the Merchandise Mart) – one of North America’s premier destinations for kitchen and interior design professionals – the showroom helps designers, builders and consumers imagine how the latest SKS solutions can enrich modern living with style and simplicity.
Designed in collaboration with world-renowned architect Piero Lissoni, the new venue – themed the “SKS Theater” – is a curated space where visitors can absorb the unique culture of LG’s luxury appliance brand. Lissoni’s minimalist approach and attention to detail give the showroom a calm, refined atmosphere that highlights how SKS products integrate naturally into premium living spaces. Inspired by the brand’s unmistakable aesthetic, the showroom also presents immersive media art installations combining light, sound and visuals to express the heart of SKS’s True to Food philosophy.
Covering 8,672 square feet, the showroom includes five fully-tailored kitchens – Serenity, Midnight, Residence, Immersive and Interactive – each presented on a grand scale with soaring ceilings and 20-foot kitchen islands. More than 50 SKS appliances are displayed throughout, including pro-ranges and rangetops with the industry’s first built-in sous vide, advanced induction cooktops for rapid and precise heating, and innovative refrigerators and wine storage solutions.
Bringing an unparalleled visual brilliance and immersive experience to SKS at The MART are 81 square meters of LG MAGNIT direct-view LED displays, which create a luxury cinematic and digital art showcase – including “The Culinary Journey,” a compelling multimedia piece by artist KAMW.
The SKS lineup showcases a comprehensive range of built-in luxury appliances, from refrigeration to cooking and laundry solutions. Highlights include 48- and 36-inch built-in French door refrigerators, 30-, 24- and 18-inch refrigerator and freezer columns, and 24- and 18-inch wine columns. The cooking collection features 48-inch sous-vide pro ranges and transitional wall ovens equipped with Gourmet AI. The showroom also offers an exclusive preview of the new 29-inch SKS washer and dryer pair.
Since its 2016 launch, SKS has embodied LG’s vision for the luxury market. The brand’s 2025 rebrand from Signature Kitchen Suite to SKS has strengthened its identity and recognition, while continued participation in events such as KBIS has reinforced its leadership in design and innovation. The opening of the Chicago showroom marks another key milestone in this journey.
The third SKS showroom in the U.S. following the opening of the Napa Experience & Design Center showroom in Napa, California (opened in 2019) and Skyline Showroom in New Jersey (opened in 2023) – the Chicago venue extends SKS’s presence across North America. It offers unique experiences not only for design professionals but also for discerning customers seeking a modern, luxury lifestyle.
“The SKS Chicago Showroom is a pioneering space where customers can experience our vision for ultra-premium living and understand the philosophy that drives our brand,” said Chris Jung, president and CEO of LG Electronics North America. “This is not simply a venue for displaying our built-in luxury portfolio – it’s an immersive destination that merges design and technology with art, architecture and the experiential to create something truly unique for our U.S. customers.”

Immersive Sound, Long Battery Life and Ergonomic Comfort Across All Models—
Tailored for Audiophiles and Everyday Listeners
SEOUL, Sep. 15, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is expanding the xboom Buds lineup with the introduction of Buds Plus and Buds Lite, building on the success of the original xboom Buds launched in January. Designed to deliver high-quality audio experiences for casual listeners and discerning audiophiles alike, the new models offer immersive sound, extended battery life and ergonomic comfort, ensuring uninterrupted listening wherever life takes you.
Expertly tuned by world-renowned musician will.i.am, the xboom Buds series delivers high-resolution sound quality and rich bass. With this expansion, LG continues to differentiate its audio offerings by providing a diverse range of features and pricing options tailored to different lifestyles – from premium performance to essential everyday use.
Shared Performance Across the Lineup
The Buds Plus and Buds Lite are built on LG’s expertise in audio innovation, delivering a solid foundation of high-end sound and reliable performance:
Immersive Sound: Lightweight graphene drivers deliver clear, detailed audio with rich bass and minimal distortion. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)1: LG’s intelligent ANC technology detects and reduces background noise for a more focused listening experience. Long Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of playback and 30 hours with the charging case across all models, with Buds Lite offering even longer endurance. Seamless Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 ensures smooth, low-latency streaming across devices, while support for Multi-Point & Multi-Pairing, Google Fast Pair and Swift Pairing makes switching between smartphones, laptops and tablets effortless. Ergonomic Comfort: All models feature a secure in-ear fit with multiple ear tip sizes and a unique ear hook design for added stability. These shared features guarantee LG xboom’s signature audio quality in every xboom Buds model.
xboom Buds Plus: Premium Features for Elevated Listening Pleasure
Designed for people seeking truly elevated listening experiences, Buds Plus combine advanced technology with thoughtful design. Adaptive EQ continuously monitors earbud fit and automatically adjusts the sound profile in real time. This ensures optimal audio quality regardless of how the earbuds are worn – compensating for changes that could otherwise result in sound imbalance or bass loss. The result is consistently rich, immersive sound with minimal variation. Buds Plus also feature a triple microphone system that enhances both ANC performance and call clarity, making them ideal for noisy environments or professional use.
To ensure the best possible fit and sound isolation, the Noise Cancelling Optimization tool on the xboom Buds app recommends the ear gel that offers the most secure seal, maximizing both comfort and ANC effectiveness.
With hygiene a growing concern, LG reintroduces its UVnano2 technology through the Buds Plus charging case – eliminating 99.9 percent of bacteria from the surface of the ear gel and speaker mesh while charging, and helping users stay fresh and worry-free throughout the day.
Also making a welcome return is the Plug & Wireless feature, which instantly turns the charging case into a Bluetooth transmitter for non-Bluetooth devices such as in-flight entertainment systems and gym equipment. With Auracast support, users can also synchronize audio across multiple devices, perfect for watch parties, multiplayer gaming and collaborative projects.
And for those who value convenience, the Buds Plus charging case supports wireless charging, making it easier than ever to power up without fumbling for cables. Whether placed on a charging pad at home or on the go, this feature adds a layer of effortless practicality to the premium experience.
xboom Buds Lite: Essential Audio for Everyday Adventures
Designed for those who value simplicity with a touch of personalization, Buds Lite deliver high-quality wireless audio in a streamlined, comfortable form. Powered by the same lightweight graphene drivers as Buds Plus, they offer clear, balanced audio for music, calls and more.
With up to 11.5 hours of playback on a single charge – and up to 35 hours with the charging case – Buds Lite are built to keep up with long commutes, travel days and non-stop listening. Their lightweight, ergonomic design and multiple ear tip sizes ensure a secure, comfortable fit that lasts all day.
To enhance the listening experience, Buds Lite feature Mild ANC paired with four customizable EQ modes, allowing users to fine-tune their sound profile to match their preferences – whether they’re relaxing at home or working in a café. This added layer of personalization brings a premium touch to everyday audio.
The Full xboom Buds Family
xboom Buds Plus: Advanced earbuds with superior sound and easy usability. Recommended for active users who travel frequently or have dynamic lifestyles. xboom Buds: Standard earbuds suitable for various everyday activities. Recommended for users with active daily routines, such as students and professionals. xboom Buds Lite: Essential earbuds with long-lasting battery life, ideal for indoor use. Recommended for users in environments such as cafes and libraries. “Sound has always been part of LG’s identity, beginning with the first radio made in Korea and evolving into today’s wireless audio innovations,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s audio business division. “With xboom Buds Plus and Buds Lite expanding the xboom Buds lineup, we are honoring that legacy by making immersive, high-quality audio experiences available to more people, regardless of their lifestyle or listening preferences.”
Availability
With the newest members of the xboom Buds family, LG reaffirms its commitment to giving consumers audio solutions that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle and reflect their unique preferences.

1 Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Disclaimer: ANC functionality is available across all xboom Buds models, but performance may vary. xboom Buds and Buds Plus use a 3-microphone system for enhanced noise detection and reduction. Buds Lite uses a single microphone to monitor ambient noise, resulting in different ANC experiences depending on the model and environment.
2 UVnano is a compound word derived from “UV” and its unit “nanometer.” Independent testing shows that the UVnano charging case eliminates 99.9% of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria from the earbuds’ speaker mesh within ten minutes of charging. The UV LED function operates when the charging case is connected to a power cable. However users can also customize the settings so that the UVnano is activated automatically whenever the earbuds are placed inside the case and the lid is closed, for added convenience.

New Product Leverages Company’s Innovative Technologies and Design Prowess to
Offer an Effortlessly Elevated Kitchen Experience
SEOUL, Feb. 18, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to showcase its “Fit & Max” kitchen solution at the 2025 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, offering a design that seamlessly fits into spaces while maximizing both capacity and performance. Boasting Zero Clearance technology, the company’s cutting-edge kitchen appliances are an ideal fit for any kitchen.
The expanded lineup includes three-door and four-door refrigerators with Zero Clearance – a technology that minimizes wasted space, provides impressive installation flexibility and helps homeowners achieve a stylish built-in kitchen aesthetic. Thanks to cleverly-designed hinges, the main compartment doors can open fully with only 4 millimeters of clearance between the side of the appliance and the surrounding cabinetry or adjacent wall.
The new models also leverage the company’s proprietary Thin Door technology, which adds to the visual appeal of the new refrigerators and further contributes to optimal space efficiency in the kitchen. 100 millimeters-thick on previous models, the doors have been slimmed down to just 55 millimeters, delivering a sleek and sophisticated appearance without sacrificing insulation performance.
Moreover, LG’s new lineup provides a generous capacity, ensuring ample space for storing food items, beverages and ingredients. The newly designed middle- and freezer-drawers offer enhanced accessibility and easier, more convenient organization. The new, premium LG refrigerators also on show at KBIS 2025, feature Dual Ice Solution and Mini Craft Ice, allowing users to elevate their favorite drinks, chill refreshments for a party, or quickly cool a hot soup or broth with freshly-made ice.
In addition to refrigerators, LG expands its product lineup with a wider range of “Fit” offerings, combining space-efficient design with enhanced performance in various appliances. Another standout from the LG kitchen solution lineup is the new Flush Depth dishwasher, which fits perfectly with standard-depth cabinetry for a seamless and streamlined look. The new dishwasher incorporates advanced cleaning and drying technologies, including QuadWash Pro and Dynamic Heat Dry, to deliver industry-leading performance and enable the 1 Hour Wash & Dry cycle. LG’s QuadWash Pro technology creates microbubbles that thoroughly remove stains from dishware, while Dynamic Heat Dry utilizes a dry boost function to enhance drying performance. Drying effectiveness is further increased by the company’s AutoVentDry function, which automatically opens the dishwasher door after the completion of a cycle.
“An ideal fit for today’s kitchen and lifestyle, LG’s expanded Zero Clearance lineup presents next-level user experiences through advanced innovation and thoughtful design,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We will continue to introduce appliances that offer customers the best of performance, style and convenience for a truly differentiated kitchen experience.”
Visitors to KBIS 2025 from February 25-27 can experience all the latest LG kitchen innovations, including the new kitchen solutions, at the company’s booth (West Hall #W2417, Las Vegas Convention Center).
