Not to mention that the original combustion engine has been replaced with an electric powertrain.
The backseats are dressed in red leather for an extra bit of retro plush.
Naturally, you’re able to also forget about the conventional analog instrument panel.
The Grandeur conceptnow has an integrated digital display and a brand-new widescreen infotainment system.
Plus,theres a vertical screen in the center console to control the built-in 18-speaker soundbar on the dashboard.
This screen also turns into avirtual piano, developed by the South Korean musical instrument manufacturer Samick.
But the electric Grandeurs most beautiful feature is the interior lighting.
Other special touches includea mechanical gear shift lever and a handy storage compartment in the armrest.
The Grandeur is the second concept EV in Hyundais Heritage Series, preceded by the equally iconicPony.
What about the about the Scoupe, dear Hyundai?
