2011 Hyundai Grandeur/Azera teased in sketches

Hyundai has released some sketches of its forthcoming Grandeur mid-sized sedan.

The Grandeur (Azera in some markets like the U.S), is designed using Hyundai�s latest design language, �fluidic sculpture� philosophy. It shares the same underpinnings as the Kia Cadenza.

The Grandeur will be fitted with front and rear LED lights, bumper-integrated exhaust pipes and Hyundai�s �bold grille�.

Hyundai describes the car as:

"The exterior rendering reflects a `Grand Glide' concept, or an image of a bird gracefully gliding across the sky The front of the car has a bold grille, emphasizing the car's premium look. The side part consists of elegant and flowing lines that exude an overall dynamic image. The rear side conveys a futuristic look through stylish LED lamps and the voluminous wide rear bumper."

The Grandeur/Azera will sit between the Sonata and Genesis in Hyundai's line-up. Unfortunately, Hyundai has confirmed that it will not be sold in the UK.
