(from Hyundai Press Release)

    Hyundai Motor Company will stage three premiers at its Paris Motor Show press conference on September 28: CRDi-powered Grandeur, Hyundai´s first application of diesel power in the near-luxury segment.

    Launched at the Geneva Auto Salon in 2005, the Hyundai Grandeur marked the company´s move into the European executive sedan market. Designed to compete directly against such cars as the Volvo S80, Audi A6 and the Peugeot 607, it introduced new levels of refinement, high build quality and distinctive design to Hyundai's European line-up. As a flag carrier during the Hyundai sponsorship of the FIFA 2006 World Cup, it also made many new friends for the company.

    The GRANDEUR is now fitted even more closely to the European market with the launch of the new 2.2 VGT common rail direct injection diesel version. In European trim this offers 110kW (150PS) @ 4000rpm and 340Nm torque @ 2000 rpm. It features inter-cooled turbo technology and offers a Euro 4 compliant particle filter. Grandeur retails under the Azera badge in the North American market.
