Vivo is gearing up to make your car feel like a natural extension of your smartphone. The upcoming X300 and X300 Pro, expected later in 2025, are set to launch with OriginOS 6, an Android 16-based upgrade that adds powerful in-car voice features on top of the brand’s existing car screen mirroring.
Today, many Vivo phones can already project their screens to a car’s central display as soon as you step in, letting the phone effectively take over the infotainment interface. With OriginOS 6, that experience goes far beyond mirroring. A company software director on Weibo outlined that users will be able to start a compatible car remotely using voice commands, with the possibility of opening the trunk the same way, all through Vivo’s virtual assistant, Xiao V.
Once you’re inside the vehicle, Xiao V morphs into “Xiao P,” a driving-focused assistant designed to keep you connected without taking your hands off the wheel. Expect voice-driven messaging—listening to incoming texts and dictating replies—as well as seamless navigation handoffs that pull addresses from your phone into the car’s built-in navigation system. Think of it as an integrated, voice-first driving companion aimed at minimizing distractions while keeping essential tasks accessible.
Key features expected with OriginOS 6 on the X300 series:
– Enhanced car screen mirroring that lets your Vivo phone control the center console display
– Voice-controlled remote start on compatible vehicles
– Voice-activated trunk opening via the Xiao V assistant
– In-car “Xiao P” mode for hands-free messaging and address import to the car’s navigation
– AirDrop-like quick sharing between Vivo devices, debuting with the X300 lineup
There are some important caveats at launch. While Vivo’s screen mirroring is already widely deployed—estimated to be available in over a million cars sold in China from brands such as BYD, MG, and Leapmotor—the new advanced voice features will initially be limited to a single model: the XPeng P7. Broader compatibility is likely to follow, but early adopters should check vehicle support before expecting the full suite of capabilities.
For drivers invested in the Vivo ecosystem, the X300 and X300 Pro look poised to deliver some of the most cohesive phone-to-car integration yet on an Android skin. Between rapid file sharing, deeper console control, and practical voice tools that streamline navigation and messaging, OriginOS 6 aims to make every trip feel more connected—and more convenient.
If you’re considering a smart car setup in 2025, keep an eye on the X300 series launch and watch for expanding car compatibility. Vivo’s strategy is clear: turn the smartphone you already carry into the heart of your in-car experience.
