FactThe Grandeur XG name also went on the home-market Trajet minivan, which borrowed the sedan's platform.
The third-generation Grandeur, marketed as the Grandeur XG and in North America and Japan as the Hyundai XG (XG300, XG350), was the first developed entirely by Hyundai after two generations based on the Mitsubishi Debonair. It was built in Asan, South Korea, and Turkey from 1998 to 2005 with Delta and Sigma V6 engines from 2.0 to 3.5 litres. Its platform was later adapted for the Kia Opirus/Amanti.

Hyundai sold 132,000 IG Grandeurs in 2017 and about 110,000 in 2018, and it was the best-seller in its class in South Korea.
The HG showed up on Korean TV before launch, briefly seen in the KBS drama Fugitive: Plan B in November 2010.
Hyundai sued a Florida startup called Avera Motors in 2010, saying its name was too close to Azera. Avera renamed itself Rivian.

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.
