At 198.8 inches (5050 millimeters), the new Grandeur is slightly longer than before and comes with a redesigned front bumper featuring a mesh pattern. At the back, the taillight bar is even slimmer now. Rounding off the exterior changes is a fresh Artistic Burgundy body color that combines pearl and matte surfaces.<\/p>\n

While the exterior is more of an evolution, the cabin has undergone a revolution, switching to Hyundai\u2019s new Pleos infotainment system with a 17-inch touchscreen. It runs on the Android Automotive Operating System and has a larger display than Europe’s new Ioniq 3<\/a>, with which it shares the infotainment technology.<\/p>\n The old model featured a separate lower touchscreen (or buttons on lower-spec trim levels) for the climate controls, but not anymore. While the driver still has their own instrument cluster, it is now much smaller and sits higher on the dashboard, directly in the driver\u2019s line of sight. The burgundy exterior theme continues inside, covering most surfaces.<\/p>\n Photos by: Hyundai<\/p>\n Photos by: Hyundai<\/p>\n Although some physical controls remain, the 2027 Grandeur features electric air vents controllable only from the touchscreen. Elsewhere, the stately sedan is Hyundai\u2019s first production model to let those inside switch the panoramic roof from opaque to transparent. The facelift also brings upgraded ambient lighting and a sofa-like pattern for the door cards to match the seat upholstery.<\/p>\n Since it sits at the top of the lineup, Hyundai doesn\u2019t skimp on materials. The new Grandeur combines metal accents with real wood trim, along with quilting patterns and knot piping throughout the cabin. It remains the company\u2019s most luxurious sedan, tailored for those who don\u2019t want to step up to a similarly sized Genesis G80<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kia hasn\u2019t given up on large sedans either. Although the biggest one in the United States is the K5, a handful of markets get the K8 and the even larger K9<\/a>. It goes to show that large sedans remain relevant for Korean brands in an automotive world increasingly dominated by crossovers and SUVs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 5 <\/p>\n \n Source: Hyundai <\/p>\n Motor1’s Take:\u00a0The Grandeur is an interesting offering, considering Hyundai also sells the Genesis G80 and G90 for those who want a large luxury sedan that doesn\u2019t come from Germany. While full technical specifications have yet to be released, the pre-facelift model did offer something for everyone, including four- and six-cylinder engines, a hybrid powertrain, and even a V6 compatible with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).<\/p>\n The pre-facelift Grandeur offered a lot of bang for the buck, as prices in South Korea started at 37,980,000 won, which works out to a reasonable $25,700 at current exchange rates.<\/p>\n Attached below are photos of the 2023 Grandeur.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
