The Hyundai Grandeur is a front-wheel drive executive sedan produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1986. From 1986 to 1996, the Grandeur was a flagship car for Hyundai's South Korean lineup before the Hyundai Dynasty was introduced. The Grandeur has evolved through five generations with intermediate restylings, and is marketed under various nameplates worldwide—prominently as the Hyundai Azera. As the Azera, it was considered the flagship model of Hyundai's United States lineup until the arrival of the Genesis sedan. Since the launch of the separate Genesis brand, the Grandeur/Azera has redeemed its place as the company's flagship instead of being slotted between the Sonata and the Genesis G80 as a less sporty option of the latter.
