The Heritage Series Grandeur is one vehicle that beautifully embodies Hyundai’s forward-thinking design. Though it’s a concept car, it gives a glimpse into the brand’s evolution—from its earliest models to the cutting-edge features of today.

The Heritage Series Grandeur: A Nod to the Azera’s Legacy

To honor the 35th anniversary of the Hyundai Grandeur—known in the U.S. as the Hyundai Azera—Hyundai unveiled the stunning Heritage Series Grandeur. While it’s unavailable for sale, it’s an artistic expression of Hyundai’s design DNA: a fusion of the brand’s heritage and vision for the future.

This concept model reimagines the boxy charm of the original 1980s Grandeur with a futuristic flair, drawing inspiration from the first-generation Grandeur:

  • Parametric Pixel LED lighting
  • Fully electric powertrain
  • Burgundy velvet and Napa leather interior
  • Wide digital displays with a built-in piano
  • Bronze ambient lighting and sleek side mirrors

The redesigned Heritage Series Grandeur serves as a source of inspiration, merging nostalgic elements with modern technology. The result? A vehicle that looks as good in a gallery as it would on the road—a bold tribute to the past with a full charge toward the future. This First Generation Grandeur has inspired the new Grandeur, celebrating the revival and redesign of the Hyundai Grandeur as a modern, all-electric vehicle.
