The fourth-generation Grandeur (TG) was introduced for the 2006 model year as a mid-size sedan replacing the XG350, sharing a platform with the Sonata. It was sold as the Hyundai Azera in North America, China and many other markets, and as the Grandeur in most of Europe, Australia and Japan. It offered a 2.4 four-cylinder, 2.7, 3.3 and 3.8-litre V6 engines, an LPG V6 and a 2.2 diesel, with five- and six-speed automatics.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
