테스트 뮬과 최종 차체가 적용된 여러 스파이샷을 본 후, 차세대 현대 그랜저가 연말에 공개될 예정이다. 그에 앞서 Brenthon이 제공한 이 렌더링을 공유하고자 한다.
왜 이것이 사실일 수 있다고 생각하는가? Brenthon은 현대 또는 기아 모델을 위한 애프터마켓 부품을 제작하는 회사로, 때때로 미래 모델의 디자인을 미리 확인할 수 있어 부품을 준비한다. 이에 따라 이 렌더링을 공유하기로 결정했다.
사진을 보면 최신 현대 및 제네시스 모델에서 보아온 디자인을 따르는 것으로 보인다. 필자의 의견으로는 현대가 가까운 미래에 두 브랜드의 디자인 스타일을 분리하지 않으면 문제가 생길 수 있다. 육각형 프론트 그릴과 안개등 등 동일한 특징을 공유하고 있다. 후면에는 일반적인 크롬 배기구와 그랜저 특유의 테일라이트 시그니처가 보인다.
엔진 라인업에 관해서는, 출시 시 가솔린 직분사 및 디젤 엔진(유럽 시장 진출의 시작) 외에도 새로운 8단 자동변속기가 제공되며, 소형 터보 엔진도 추가된다. 디젤 쪽에서는 200마력의 개선된 2.2 CRDi R-엔진이 시작점이 될 수 있다. 가솔린 라인업은 K7(카덴자)과 마찬가지로 3.0, 3.3, 3.8 GDi 엔진이 제공될 수 있다.

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!
