Après avoir vu un mulet d'essai et plusieurs photos espion avec sa carrosserie définitive, la prochaine génération du Hyundai Grandeur sera dévoilée d'ici la fin de l'année. En attendant, nous souhaitons partager avec vous ce rendu gracieuseté de Brenthon.
Pourquoi pensons-nous que cela pourrait être vrai ? Brenthon est une entreprise qui fabrique des pièces aftermarket pour les modèles Hyundai ou Kia, et a donc parfois accès aux futurs modèles pour préparer ses pièces. C'est pourquoi nous avons décidé de partager ce rendu.
En regardant les photos, on dirait que le design suit ce que nous avons vu sur les derniers modèles Hyundai et Genesis. De mon point de vue, Hyundai pourrait rencontrer des problèmes si elle ne sépare pas les styles des deux marques dans un avenir proche. On retrouve les mêmes caractéristiques, comme la calandre hexagonale et les feux antibrouillard. À l'arrière, on voit les sorties d'échappement chromées classiques et la signature des feux arrière du Grandeur.
Côté motorisations, une nouvelle boîte automatique à 8 rapports sera disponible au lancement, ainsi qu'un choix de moteurs à essence à injection directe et diesel (amorçant son arrivée sur le marché européen), sans oublier de petits moteurs turbo. Du côté diesel, le moteur R 2.2 CRDi amélioré avec 200 ch pourrait être un point de départ. La gamme essence pourrait être disponible avec les moteurs 3.0, 3.3 et 3.8 GDi, comme sur la K7 (Cadenza).

So I'm guessing based on the design the Grandeur/Azera is making the leap over to Genesis as their take on the ES segment? Might not be a bad idea considering the Azera never gained any significant ground as a Hyundai model. The render looks sharp btw.
Hyundai has no intentions of competing with the ES with the Genesis brand - they are not interested in selling "tarted up" FWD Hyundais like Toyota does with Lexus.
Resale is something that will gradually improve. Yes, Hyundai/Genesis have definitely turned around overall product and design at an exponential rate, but they still very much maintain the stigma of a "value brand". Furthermore, durability is still a weak point (I mean you have to cut costs somewhere to attain the lower overall price) and something that must improve over time if they are too gain any major traction.
That's why for me Acura is better and if only hyundai did have a superior AWD like the SH AWD of Acura or Audi Quattro system but not yet they(hyundai) have lots of pie to eat!
Front wheel drive car equivalent to Toyota Avalon nothing else, please dont compare it to BMW or MercBenz or Audi or Lexus or Infinity and it is not a Genesis.
Genesis has already surpassed Acura's sedans (not even close).
Hyundai already has an ES competitor in the Aslan and the Genesis lineup will be restricted to RWD/AWD.
Hyundai won't compete with the ES though, Genesis will. Unless they plan on bringing the Aslan into the Genesis lineup I'm not sure how they can position themselves to compete with the ES under the Hyundai badge. Avalon maybe, ES no.
Haven't passed Acura? Who hasn't passed Acura at this juncture? If this render is even remotely accurate, they'll have produced a better looking car than any current Acura sedan on the road right now. They might not have passed the Germans or maybe even Lexus, but they most definitely have overtaken the remaining Japanese luxury marques.
Sure, but if (considering this is hypothetical) this truly is the new Azera, why cannibalize Genesis sales with a product that looks like it belongs in the lineup?
B/c Hyundai doesn't want to dilute the Genesis brand by including "tarted up" Hyundai-based FWD models.
We can't conclusively determine that the G80 does considering Hyundai does not provide the breakdown between coupe and sedan numbers. Even then, the Lexus moved 2305 units in 2015 in Canada, and 390 GS. The Genesis with both models combined moved 2406. Even if one considers a 75/25 break down in favour of the sedan it was still outsold by the ES.
Calm down i dont like Honda either!
