Google Gemini comes to eligible Honda models
By Ide Honda Honda announcement · July 15, 2026
Honda announced in July that Google Gemini is available in eligible Hondas with Google built-in. The update gives drivers a voice assistant that can follow a request across several questions.
What you can ask it
Say you’re driving toward Canandaigua and ask for a coffee stop along your route. You can follow up by asking when the place closes, then ask for directions without naming it again. Gemini Live adds a back-and-forth mode for things like talking through weekend plans or coming up with ideas for a family outing.
Which Hondas qualify?
Honda lists the 2023 and newer Accord Touring Hybrid, the 2025 and newer Civic Sedan Si and Sport Touring Hybrid, and the 2025 and newer Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Hybrid. For the CR-V, the list starts with the 2026 Sport Touring Hybrid. All 2026 and newer Pilot, Passport and Prelude trims are listed, as are all 2024 and newer Prologue trims. Check the model year and trim together if you’re shopping used.
How to try it
Confirm that the vehicle has Google built-in and sign in to your Google Account in the vehicle. Google built-in runs on the vehicle’s system. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay project apps from your phone. Some connected apps require setup, and Google says availability can vary by vehicle, region, language and data plan.
