Hyundai Grandeur? That's alright, because that's just the name the model uses domestically. Over here it's known as the

Hyundai has revealed a revised version of what is currently the company's largest front-drive sedan.
Compared with the previous Grandeur and even the recently redone Azera we know, the new model is marginally longer and benefits from a redesigned bumpers front and rear, a new grille, new LED fog lamps and upgraded equipment. Inside there's a reshaped center stack with upgraded HVAC controls and an eight-inch nav screen, and keeping it all on the straight and narrow are all the latest electronic aids you'd expect of a high-end model from a global automaker.
Whereas the Azera is offered here with a 3.3-liter V6 packing 293 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, back home Grandeur buyers get a choice of the 2.4-liter Theta II four-cylinder with 187 hp and 178 lb-ft or a 2.2-liter diesel with 199 hp and 325 lb-ft.
In addition to the revised Grandeur, Hyundai is also unveiling a new sedan at South Korea's Busan Motor Show. The new model, dubbed AG, is set to supersede the Grandeur/Azera as the company's largest front-drive model, and Hyundai will also show a mid-engined
