제네시스 독립 이후 현대자동차의 플래그십 세단이 된 그랜저 GN7 가솔린 2.5 캘리그래피트림(풀옵션)을 타 보았습니다. 사실 시승 전에 그랜저에 4기통 2.5엔진이 잘 맞을까 하는 걱정이 앞섰으나 막상 타보니 생각 보다 정숙성이 뛰어놨습니다. 물론 6기통처럼 부드러운 회전질감은 아니지만 자연흡기 엔진이기에 꽤 부드러운 회전 질감을 보여주며 출력 부분에서도 부족하다는 느낌은 받지 못했습니다. 뒷좌석 공간도 매우 넉넉하였으며 보스 사운드가 적용된 스피커는 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 3.5모델보다 연비는 좋으나 큰 기대는 하지 않으시는 게 좋습니다!
I tried the Grandeur(Azera) GN7 gasoline 2.5 caligraphy trim (full option), which became Hyundai's flagship sedan after Genesis independence. In fact, before the test drive, I was worried that the Grandeur would fit well with a four-cylinder 2.5 engine, but when I got on it, it was more quiet than I thought. Of course, it's not as smooth a six-cylinder, but it's a natural intake engine, so it shows a pretty smooth rotational texture and I didn't feel like it was lacking in the output either. There was a lot of space in the back, and the speaker with boss sound was very satisfying. It's more fuel efficient than the 3.5 model, but you shouldn't expect too much!
