The South Korean automobile manufacturer Hyundai Motors has revealed the facelift of the Grandeur on April 28, 2026, marking the 40th anniversary of the nameplate, which is set to be known as the 2027 model. The model sits above its sibling, the Sonata, also known as the Azera, outside South Korea.

The dimensions of the facelift in terms of length, width, height, and wheelbase are 5,050 mm, 1,880 mm, 1,460 mm, and 2,895 mm, respectively, which make it a full-size executive sedan. Compared to the outgoing model, it is 15 mm longer, meaning now rear-seating passengers are set to have more legroom that will enhance the comfortability.
