The Korean manufacturer decided to keep up with competitors by presenting the new business class sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019. Depending on the country and place of delivery, the model name may vary. In North America and at home in Korea, the sedan is sold under the Azera name, but nevertheless, the equipment and characteristics are quite good.

Both externally and internally, the new Hyundai Grandeur sedan exudes luxury and special style. Today it is the sixth generation of the car delivered to the markets of Asia, Europe and North America. The first generation of the business class sedan was introduced back in 2005, but since it was very similar to the Sonata, it was not in great demand. The basis for the sixth generation was the brother of the Genesis G80, external similarities are also clearly noticeable.

Exterior sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020

The appearance of the sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019 was developed in such a way as to emphasize the solidity and impressiveness of luxury as much as possible. If you recall the current production models of the company, then in every detail of this sedan you can find something similar. Although many say the new Hyundai Grandeur sedan is no less similar to other Volvo or Buick models.

The front part of the sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019 is made in the form of a mask, as can be judged by the specific shape of the bumper and hood of the sedan. It is the radiator grill and the front optics that remind many of the Volvo S80 of the second generation. The radiator grille is integrated into the front bumper, decorated with chrome edging around it, and the insert is made of chrome strips. The center of the radiator grille of the Grandeur sedan is decorated with a corporate emblem and a panel for license plates. Another additional grille is installed at the very bottom of the bumper.

The front optics of the Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020 business sedan are fully LED and do not depend on the configuration. Each headlight has two lenses, each lens received C-shaped LED dimensions to emphasize the style and luxury of the sedan, and the background of the optics was made black. The lower part of the bumper Hyundai Grandeur is decorated with long LED running lights on a background of black inserts, they also act as direction indicators.

The hood of the new sedan Hyundai Grandeur lies end-to-end with the front bumper and side fenders. At the same time, curved lines stretch from the radiator grille to the front pillars, emphasizing the business style of the sedan. The windshield of Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020, depending on the configuration, can be ordinary, with partial heating in the area of ​​the wiper parking area, or fully heated, as it should be for a luxury car.

In front, the new Korean sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020 truly looks rich and attracts with its luxury. In particular, the front optics and the large chrome grille have turned out well.

The side of the Hyundai Grandeur sedan is more reminiscent of the Sonata or the BMW 7-Series luxury sedan. The front and rear wheel arches protrude slightly above the main body, but still retain the austere style of the novelty. Due to the perfectly balanced proportions, lines and volumes, the new 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur sedan appealed to even the most demanding customers.

Not to say that the side of the new Hyundai Grandeur is painted with many chrome details. The designers have added all the essentials in moderation. Hyundai Grandeur door handles in all trim levels will be painted to match the body color, with chrome inserts in the center and lighting on the inside. The Grandeur sedan sills were also decorated with chrome moldings along the entire length. The chrome part is rounded off by the edging around the side windows and the side mirror housings. Despite the abundance of chrome details, the B-pillars and rear door pillars are only black.

Not bad, the designers emphasized the luxurious style of the 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur due to the undulating rib, from the front optics to the rear stops. Side mirrors of the Hyundai Grandeur, designed in the general style of the sedan, deserve special attention. The mirror housings are painted in the body color. The sedan side mirrors set include LED turn signals, roadside illumination on the side of the sedan, as well as electronic adjustment, heating and automatic folding. Optionally or in the top version, there will be a memory function for several positions.

The body color of the Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020, like the style of the sedan, is made in soft shades:

• white;
• beige;
• silver;
• grey;
• dark grey;
• the black;
• bronze;
• burgundy;
• blue;
• brown.

Depending on the color chosen, the manufacturer offers a pearlescent or metallic shade. It is simply impossible to choose a different color optionally, even for an additional fee. The basis for the new sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019 served as branded alloy wheels 17 ", 18" or 19 ".

If the front of the sedan is somewhat reminiscent of Volvo, then the rear end has got something in between the Buick sedans and the previously known Sonata, of this manufacturer. It's all about the unusual hind feet. The base of the feet is LED, but along the length, the designers stretched them across the entire width of the Hyundai Grandeur sedan. A small part is located on the body of the car, but the paired part is located across the entire width of the trunk lid. Above the dividing line, the company emblem was placed, and under the line, the rear camera and a button to open the trunk lid.

If you do not look closely at the name of the sedan, then we can say that this is the Sonata of the penultimate generation. The top of the lid is slightly raised, in the form of a small spoiler, and at the end there is a chrome-plated model inscription.

The rear bumper of the Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019 received a massive shape, in the center there is a recess for license plates, on the sides there are LED fog lights. The very bottom of the rear bumper of the Hyundai Grandeur 2018 was decorated with a small black insert and two chrome exhaust tips.

The last feature of the 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur body is the roof. As befits a luxury and premium sedan, the roof comes in two flavors. The basic equipment received an electric panoramic sunroof, but the more expensive versions of the Hyundai Grandeur got a large panoramic roof with a sliding front part.

Despite the chosen body shade, in order to emphasize the luxurious look of the 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur sedan, the designers painted the roof black, including the arches for attaching the additional trunk. The back of the roof was decorated with a black shark fin antenna.

If we talk about the appearance of the new sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019, then it is not only luxurious, but also gives the owner confidence in the ride and the power of the car. All exterior details are balanced in proportion and volume, which is very important for business class cars.

Interior of the sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020

The exterior of the 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur sedan is luxurious, but you can truly feel the attitude of the car to the business class by sitting in the salon. Designers have completed every detail of the interior as much as possible, which was not the last feature in the general style of Hyundai Grandeur. The front panel is distinguished by the unusual design of the 8 ″ touchscreen display of the multimedia system. The designers took it out separately from the main panel, placing it in a rectangular plastic mold. A round clock with blue illumination was placed next to the display, it is such a clock that is considered a sign of luxury and good equipment of a car, Hyundai Grandeur is no exception.

The functional part of the central panel of the Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019 is highlighted in a separate set. Two large air ducts and a control panel for the audio system and a pair of comfort systems. The central tunnel of the sedan is slightly overstated, thereby smoothly passing from the central tunnel into the tunnel. It originates from the control panel for climate control, heated and cooled front seats. A little lower there is a whole complex for recharging gadgets; they offer a USB port, a 12V outlet and Qi wireless charging.

The main part of the central tunnel of Hyundai Grandeur turned out to be no worse.Near the gear lever, there is a button for an electromechanical handbrake, a stabilization control of the car and a choice of a travel mode. There are two cup holders behind a special plug, but the sedan's center armrest will be more interesting. In it, the engineers hid a CD player for laser discs, which significantly freed up the central part of the panel. On the reverse side, the armrest is the most common, a pair of air ducts and a USB port with a 12V socket for recharging (in the top-end configuration).

The seats of the 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur sedan received one of the highest ratings for quality and comfort. Unlike the more refined styling of the car, the front seats are sporty. This can be judged by the large lateral support and high head restraints, the seat itself is very soft, with many different settings. The driver's seat can be adjusted in at least 8 different directions, but the passenger seat in 6 directions. The adjustment drive is electronic, which allows you to fine-tune it as accurately as possible, in addition, there are two memory modes. The second row of seats is designed for three passengers, with three separate head restraints for each. An armrest is located in the center of the backrest, with two built-in cup holders. As for a business class car, the set is not the most top-end, but these are the details of comfort on which they decided to save money. However, there is plenty of space for second-row passengers in the Hyundai Grandeur, even for tall people. The proportion of folding the second row of seats 60/40.

Interior trim Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020 corresponds to the status of the car. The designers used high-quality Nappa leather as a material. In most variants, the upholstery is a combination of solid and perforated leather. The interior of the new Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020 will surprise you more when choosing colors, in total, the buyer has three main shades:

1. the black;
2. grey;
3. beige.

For each of the shades of the interior of Hyundai Grandeur, the manufacturer offers two types of decorative inserts around the perimeter of the cabin. Classic lacquered wood, ebony, glossy plastic. It should also be borne in mind that when choosing a shade of the interior, the colors will change not only for the seats, but also for the door linings, the front panel and a couple of three other smaller parts. This design move gave a special character and feel to the interior of Hyundai Grandeur.

The driver's seat is one of the interior details of the Hyundai Grandeur that should have received maximum changes, but in reality they are minimal. The engineers abandoned the all-digital panel, adding only a small 4.2 ″ color display of the on-board computer. The tachometer and speedometer are still dial gauges with fuel level and engine temperature gauges at the bottom. A color projection display was located behind the dashboard, with the ability to display the direction of movement, speed and a couple of other information indicators.

The steering wheel of the 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur sedan is not worse than the top models of the manufacturer. Designed for four knitting needles, the top two are reserved for function buttons, the bottom two are decorative. Starting with the basic configuration, the steering wheel has acquired leather upholstery and heating. You can adjust the height and depth using an electric drive.

With the comfort in the cabin of the Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020, we can note good LED lighting, sun blinds on the rear windows. A modern audio system and Wi-Fi Internet access point are also installed. I would like to note that the designers have chosen the golden mean in terms of the ratio of quality and equipment of the Hyundai Grandeur interior. This made it possible to maintain the status of a business car, while not greatly overstating the price of the sedan.

As a result, the dynamic characteristics of the Hyundai Grandeur have improved.

Price and configuration 2018-2019 Hyundai Grandeur

The new sedan Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019 will enter the Russian automotive market towards the end of 2018, although the car is already on sale in some dealerships. European prices have already been named, as well as a list of trim levels. The pricing policy of the new Hyundai Grandeur primarily depends on the engine.

The diesel engine, according to various sources, will not be supplied to the European market. Recent changes in the laws on diesel units have simply ruled out the supply of the Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019 with a similar configuration.

In total, positive reviews can be made about the new Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019. The combination of modern design and style is fully suitable for a business class car, and powerful units are designed with a good power reserve.There is not much variety in the interior of the Hyundai Grandeur 2019-2020, but the most important thing is set to convey the luxury and rich character of the new Hyundai Grandeur 2017-2019.
