The automaker made significant design and styling changes, including a wider and longer body while new features broaden the model's appeal to younger buyers.
The latest Grandeur has Hyundai's forward collision avoidance assist junction turning system (FCA-JT) which helps prevent frontal collisions when turning left at intersections (in LHD markets), as well as highway driving assist, parking collision avoidance assist and blind spot view monitor systems.
The model comes with 2.5-litre and 3.3-litre petrol engines, a three-litre LPG engine and a 2.4-litre petrol/hybrid drivetrain for prices starting at KRW33m (US$28,000).
