Nexen Tire has been selected to supply original equipment tires for the facelifted version of Hyundai Motor Company’s flagship sedan, The New Grandeur.
The company will supply its N’Fera Supreme S ultra-high-performance (UHP) tire for premium vehicles. Following its OE supply for the initial version of the seventh-generation Grandeur, Nexen Tire is continuing its collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company on its flagship sedan through the supply of OE tires for this new facelifted version.
The New Grandeur features the Seamless Horizon Lamp, Pleos Connect, the company’s next-generation infotainment system, and other.
The N’Fera Supreme S is equipped with sound-absorbing materials incorporating Nexen Tire’s proprietary noise reduction system (NRS) technology, reducing resonance noise generated during driving. In addition, its AI big data-based low-noise pattern design minimizes the inflow of road noise and vibrations into the cabin, delivering enhanced quietness and ride comfort.
The tire also incorporates AI-based load distribution technology and a 4D compound to provide outstanding grip and high-speed driving stability. Optimized sipe and groove designs help maintain stable performance even after wear, while the aerodynamic sidewall design reduces rolling resistance and improves fuel efficiency.
The company has also expanded its collaboration with Hyundai Motor’s premium line-up by supplying the N’Fera Supreme S for flagship models including the all-new New Palisade SUV and the all-new NEXO, Korea’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric SUV.
“Being selected once again to supply OE tires for The New Grandeur demonstrates that the N’Fera Supreme S meets the high standards expected of a flagship sedan in terms of quietness and driving performance,” said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of Nexen Tire.
“We will continue to strengthen strategic partnerships with Hyundai Motor and other global auto makers while expanding OE tire supply for future mobility segments, including electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.”
