Hyundai introduced the fifth generation of the Grandeur/Azera in 2011 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, trying to breach into the full-size sedan market segment.
While the Korean automaker enjoyed success in the budget car market with other products, the large sedan segment was forbidden for it. Not even the XG30 or the TG could reach the hearts of customers. But, after a total change in its design language, it introduced the 2012 model-year Grandeur as an upgrade for those who had already enjoyed the Sonata.
Even though the new-edge-design trend was long forgotten by many automakers, it didn't mean that others couldn't use it and make it better. And Hyundai proved that with the Grandeur (sold as the Azera on specific markets). The car's overall look showed fluid lines with long, while the front fascia featured swept-back headlights and a broad chromed grille. From its profile, the beltline showed a suddenly raised line over the rear doors and onto the quarter panels. With these lines, it tried to compete against the Avalon from Toyota or the LaCrosse from Buick.
Hyundai packed the Grandeur with plenty of standard options on the interior. Thus, the bolstered front seats featured heating and cooling, while the driver could enjoy a touchscreen navigation system and an infotainment unit above the car's price level. It allowed Bluetooth connectivity for calls and music streaming via the Logic 7 sound system with 12 speakers provided by Infinity. Moreover, the rear passengers had enough legroom, although the bench seat was most comfortable for two occupants.
Under the hood, Hyundai installed a 3.3-lite V6 fitted with a gasoline direct injection system paired with a six-speed automatic. Its independent suspension in all corners also made the car comfortable on the road.
