Concept Hyundai Grandmaster hinted at a flagship crossover

7 June 2018

The novelty will enter the market under the name of Hyundai Palisade

These days in Korean Busan's local dealership. He received a loud world premieres, but one interesting model still stand out: there debuted a fresh concept Hyundai Grandmaster.

In English the name of the show-Kara is translated as "grandmaster". Most likely this is an allusion to the fact that the production car designed Hyundai Grandmaster, going to be the big crossover in the model lineup Hyundai. It is expected to be more expensive and Grand Santa Fe, but it will be built on the same platform. This means that the engine is installed transversely, and priority will be front-drive. In other words, with the upcoming SUV under the premium brand name Genesis he will have little in common.

In addition to sounding name, the novelty has received more and faceless index HDC-2. Under the name of HDC-1 hidden concept car Hyundai Le Fil Rouge, announced in March. Thus, despite the related names Hyundai and Grandmaster Le Fil Rouge did not like each other. This is the idea of the designer Canupa Lee, who moved to Hyundai in 2016. He used to work in Bentley, General Motors and Pininfarina.

If the plan Canupa Do to be saved, different models of Hyundai will not be similar to dolls, differing only in size. But today, not so easy to distinguish the Hyundai Elantra and Sonata from the same "Solaris".

The serial incarnation of the Hyundai HDC-2 Grandmaster is likely to be named Palisade. This eight-car have noticed photospin, but she's always been perfectly camouflaged.
