The All-New 7th Gen Grandeur: A Game-Changer in the Sedan Market!

Hello.

I’m Uniji, an automotive influencer.

I’m currently active in this field.

Hyundai Motor has finally unveiled information about the all-new 7th generation Grandeur GN7, a flagship domestic sedan.

After six years since the launch of the 6th generation on November 6, 2016, the 7th generation Grandeur

Before its release, the all-new Grandeur garnered attention, with reports indicating that two out of three potential buyers plan to purchase it.

Currently, over 110,000 people are on the waiting list.

Let me share some details about the all-new Grandeur.

The new Grandeur measures 5,035 mm in length, which is 45 mm longer than the previous model. It also features an extended wheelbase and increases the rear overhang by 10 mm and 50 mm, respectively.

The front showcases a futuristic design with seamlessly connected horizontal LED lamps. The integrated structure combines daytime running lights, positioning lamps, and turn signals, creating a cohesive look. This design harmonizes with the luxurious parametric pattern radiator grille, leaving a strong impression.

The side profile features the longest wheelbase in its class at 2,895 mm. This extended wheelbase enhances the interior space.

The rear emphasizes a slim design with rear combination lamps, complementing the futuristic image established at the front.

The interior features a 12.3-inch wide display cluster at the front and integrates navigation within a 10.25-inch integrated climate control display located at the center bottom.

The gear shift has transitioned to an electronic column type, moving to the steering wheel for enhanced intuitiveness.

The console area maximizes space by eliminating the traditional gear shift. The steering wheel features a one-spoke style, a nod to the design tradition of the first-generation Grandeur, with four LED lights that enhance ambiance and convenience through voice recognition.

The new Grandeur features Napa quilting and leather materials infused with Korean patterns, paired with real wood and aluminum trim. The interior and exterior incorporate sustainable technologies, including antibacterial synthetic leather, naturally dyed Napa leather, and eco-friendly pigment colors.

Additionally, the vehicle employs noise reduction technologies, including double-glazed soundproof glass, triple door sealing, detachable carpets, and sound-absorbing tires, all designed with passenger comfort in mind.

The all-new Grandeur GN7 integrates the CCNC connected car navigation system for the first time, expanding the scope for wireless software updates.

By partnering with Cafe24, the Grandeur allows users to pay tolls on highways without a physical Hi-Pass card, applying a feature called 'This Hi-Pass.' Users can swipe down on the top of the screen like a smartphone to access their favorite menus through a new 'Quick Control' feature.

Furthermore, the scope of wireless software updates has expanded to include major convenience features, allowing consumers to add or upgrade various functions at their preferred time and location without visiting a service center, keeping their vehicle always up to date.

The Grandeur includes a range of advanced technologies that exceed market expectations, such as Built-in Cam 2, Digital Key 2, and an interior fingerprint authentication system.

The Built-in Cam 2, a first for the Grandeur, features a high-definition QHD resolution camera, supporting voice recording, a large external microphone SD memory card, easy video viewing through the BlueLink app, and smartphone video viewing via built-in Wi-Fi, enhancing driver convenience.

The Digital Key 2 allows drivers to approach the vehicle with their smartphone instead of a smart key, automatically extending the outside door handle for easy access and enabling them to start the engine. It also supports personalized settings linked to the driver's profile.

Additionally, the fingerprint authentication system allows users to enter and start the vehicle simply by verifying their registered fingerprint, ensuring secure electronic payments through Cafe24, similar to the Digital Key 2, which also supports driver profile linking.

The new Grandeur GN7 offers a powertrain lineup that includes a 2.5L GDI gasoline engine, a 3.5L GDI gasoline engine, a 1.6L gasoline turbo hybrid, and a 3.5L LPG option.

The 1.6-liter gasoline turbo hybrid model delivers a maximum output of 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 27.0 kgf·m, achieving a combined fuel efficiency of 42.4 miles per gallon (18.0 km/L). The 2.5-liter GDI gasoline model provides a maximum output of 198 horsepower and a maximum torque of 25.3 kgf·m with a combined fuel efficiency of 27.5 miles per gallon (11.7 km/L). The 3.5-liter GDI gasoline model generates a maximum output of 300 horsepower and a maximum torque of 36.6 kgf·m while achieving a combined fuel efficiency of 24.5 miles per gallon (10.4 km/L). The 3.5-liter LPG model produces a maximum output of 240 horsepower and a maximum torque of 32.0 kgf·m.

In particular, the 3.5-liter GDI gasoline and 1.6-liter gasoline turbo hybrid and 3.5-liter LPG models feature new engines that improve both fuel efficiency and performance. Hyundai Motor stated that the hybrid model's output, torque, and fuel efficiency improved by 13.2%, 28.6%, and 18.4%, respectively, compared to the previous model.

The price for the all-new Grandeur GN7 starts at approximately $28,000 USD for the gasoline model, $33,000 USD for the hybrid, and $29,000 USD for the LPG model.
