Hyundai Motor has launched the facelifted Grandeur sedan — powered by the carmaker’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) infotainment system and next-generation hybrid powertrain, the carmaker said Wednesday.
The new Grandeur blends the vehicle’s long-standing luxury heritage with cutting-edge software-defined vehicle (SDV) technologies. Grandeur is Hyundai Motor’s most iconic flagship sedan.
Since its debut in July 1986, the model has remained at the forefront of Korea’s premium sedan market for nearly four decades.
Hyundai Motor hopes to redefine the flagship sedan segment by integrating its Pleos Connect infotainment system with a newly developed hybrid system. The new Grandeur is the first model equipped with the carmaker’s first mass-produced infotainment system featuring its AI-powered voice assistant, dubbed Gleo AI.

At the heart of the cabin is a 17-inch central display that delivers a more immersive and intuitive user experience. The high-resolution screen allows drivers and passengers to seamlessly access navigation, media, vehicle settings and other functions at a glance.
The redesigned Grandeur also marks Hyundai Motor’s major transition toward the SDV era. Powered by the large language model-based generative AI assistant, drivers can access a highly personalized in-vehicle experience through natural conversational interactions.
Gleo AI can also conduct knowledge searches, recommend travel itineraries and engage in contextual conversations, functioning as an intelligent mobility assistant capable of proactively delivering relevant information to drivers.
The model is the first sedan within Hyundai Motor Group to adopt the firm’s next-generation hybrid system featuring enhanced power efficiency. The carmaker will soon unveil the vehicle’s fuel efficiency after receiving a certification from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources.
