In Korea, Hyundai has unveiled the all-new seventh generation of the Grandeur. The Grandeur is a large luxury sedan that is marketed abroad as the Azera.
At this time, there are no technical details available. The 2023 Grandeur has a striking exterior design, as shown in the scant official photos offered. The new model includes more opulence and technological facilities inside the interior along with futuristic aesthetic cues. Underneath, adjacent to the enormous "parametric gem" grille that occupies most of the bumper, are the actual headlights. The profile has a single character line that extends from the front to the back.
The full-width LED bar is visible at the back. The center of the smoothly curved trunk lid houses the rearview camera. Hyundai additionally disguised the exhaust point under the bumper. Along with the horizontal reflector, the black horizontal feature on the bumper that continues the line above the side sills draws attention to the sedan's wide body.
The inside also differs significantly from the vehicle from the previous generation. The dashboard is equipped with two screens, and there is also a third screen located lower on the center console, from which the driver and passenger can adjust the climate.
The luxury vehicle provides ambient lighting and premium materials that are obtained sustainably.
Hyundai defines the upholstery of the seats as being made of eco-friendly Nappa leather coupled with sanitary, anti-bacterial leather on some touchpoints. Separate radio controls, a dual-pane sunroof, and electrically adjustable front seats with distinctively sculpted headrests are some more standout features.
The Hyundai Grandeur was shown without any specifications, although Korean media reports that the car will probably come with the same options as the Kia K8 sister. This indicates that it will be offered with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder hybrid turbocharged, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated, and a 3.5-liter V6 in gasoline and LPG flavors.
Prior to a market launch, which is probably scheduled for early 2023, complete details should be made public in the upcoming weeks.
