You know hybrids are great, right? Hybrid cars are really good. However, realistically speaking, even non-hybrid cars are not bad. That's why today, I would like to show you a 25-year-old version of me. Hello everyone, this is Han Son from OPATV. Among the content we show you, what content receives the most interest and is likely to be liked by all of you? Typically, when we test drive cars or visit showrooms, we show you cars with full options or with many options in the mid-trim. Nowadays, most consumers buy cars with full options, but there are also those who purchase basic models without options. Many people are very curious about what configurations the basic model without options actually has. So today, would you like me to show you a stripped-down model of the 25-year-old Grandeur without options?

When it comes to choosing a car, the most important thing is to not overlook the price above all else. It's natural to want many options, so it's great if there are many options available. The Grandeur also has a lot of options. If you include all these options, the price goes up significantly. However, if you let go of your desires and compromise, you can deliver it at a reasonable price range. That's why we are showing many basic cars to break these fixed ideas. Among the basic cars we recently showed, the most popular one was the Ioniq 5 base model, or the GV80 and GV70, which also have many options due to being premium cars. So, how is the 2025 Grandeur configured? Moreover, considering it's for 2025, it has about six basic features with additional ones. The base price is 250,000 won.

The level has been increased. However, if you think about the six things included, the value has actually gone up more than 250,000 won. So, what would be the price of the base model without any options? Well, there are various options like 2.5 gasoline, 3.5 gasoline, and even 1.6 hybrid. The cheapest one is the 2.5 gasoline. If you just want to drive in the city or on the highway moderately, choosing the 2.5 is not a bad choice. In reality, it sells a lot. The Grandeur 2.5 and 3.5 have different driving feels. For example, the 3.5 now comes with a multi-link suspension, so when you actually drive it, you can feel a big difference. That's why the 3.5 costs around 20 million won, showing quite a distinction, or like the G80, a premium car like that.

It's a matter of feeling like a child, right? Moreover, the 3.5 has the option of four-wheel drive exclusively. The 2.5 and 1.6 hybrids don't have the option for four-wheel drive. Only the 3.5 has the four-wheel drive. When you put in the four-wheel drive of the 3.5, the driving feeling is very different from what I mentioned earlier, like the Grandeur 1st generation model. And for the 1.6 hybrid, those who want to drive with better fuel efficiency in the city or ride more quietly tend to choose the hybrid a lot. However, as with anything, as you go up in options, the price goes up. For the 2.5, in this case without adding any options, the 2025 model Grandeur costs 37,600 won. It increased by 25,000 won, so it's 37,680 won. Then, when you switch to the 3.5, the moment you choose the 3.5 engine, it increases by 276,000 won. So, I prefer the hybrid.

The amount is a little high, it's 5.23 million won. Oh, it just jumps up to 5 million won. That's why hybrids are good, you know. Hybrids are really good. However, realistically speaking, a 2.5 gasoline car is not bad. So, should I show you the 25-year model 2.5 Grandeur today? But, people call this a tin can. What's interesting is that it's in white color. White color adds 100,000 won. You might think, why does this new color cost an additional 100,000 won? Well, this new color is now an option even in other brands. Of course, it may not always be the case, but if you look now, this kind of pearly texture is included. So, when you choose white instead of regular colors, consider it as an additional 100,000 won. So, today,

Before taking a brief look around, I will touch on what has changed with the transition to the 25-year model. First of all, Lane Keeping Assist 2 is included as a standard feature. This is included as a standard feature regardless of options. The grip detection steering wheel, which does not display a warning light if you just hold the handle, is also included as a standard feature. Next, when you reverse, there is a function that notifies you with a slight vibration in the column that you have entered the reverse gear in the Kia. This feature is also included as standard from the 25-year model. Moving on, when you move to the second row at the back, there is a safety clip on the rear seat. The safety belt clip, which emits light, is called a buckle. This is where the light comes on. This is included as a standard feature from the 25-year model. Furthermore, when it comes to the Carnival, the signature is the top option, and this is included as a standard feature in the Grandeur 25-year model.

When you open the trunk, you also need to meet safety regulations. In the back here, the trunk lid, etc., are included as standard. From what I remember, it started with the GB 80, and then the G80, GB70, and so on were all included. Even the Grandeur, which changed in its 25th year, had additional trunk lids, and a fire extinguisher was placed underneath. So, these six basic components are included. Now, let's quickly take a look at what basic Grandeur features are, aside from the changes in the basic Grandeur. Because when choosing a car, the more options you choose, the more profitable it is for the manufacturer. But these days, if you look at the cars being released, even the basic models have quite a decent set of options. As the vehicle prices have increased a lot, the old really basic models were just that, very basic. The wheel's basic design too.

In the past, it used to be like 16 inches, 17 inches, even 18 inches, and the wheels were like this, not those diamond-cutting wheels, but a bit like the typical barrel wheels we think of. When you look at it now, how is it? LED2 headlamps are not the regular MFR headlamps, they have projection-type LED headlamps, and if you look at the daytime running lights, you can see that the light comes in from the top like this. The daytime running lights are also installed like this. Just by looking at the appearance and design, it's hard to tell if this is the base model or a model with options included because the basic configuration itself is well done. The grille design is the same as the base model. Of course, the details like calligraphy may vary, but excluding calligraphy, in the case of exclusive premium, the difference in appearance is almost negligible. That's why even the base model is complete.

It's about continuously saying it's not bad. It includes double bonding as a basic feature. Moreover, it uses artificial leather when looking at the leather. Additionally, it comes with LED headlamps, a 12.3-inch display, and a dashboard as basic features because it has an OTA system. Wireless updates are now included as standard, so LED headlamps and a 12.3-inch display must be included as basic features for the update to take place. That's why these elements are applied as standard. Moreover, the high-pass system and after-blow are basic features. The ECM room mirror is also included as standard. However, even with these basics, isn't it okay? Of course, satisfaction may vary depending on individual preferences. Some may say it's okay at this level, but when people are about to purchase a car, they become more ambitious. This doesn't just apply to me; I think many of you may feel the same way.

If I don't choose this option now, I won't even be able to choose it later. Even though it's a full option, most of them are often left out and shipped. But to let you know that the basic one is also good, I'm comparing them like this. If we add an option here, what will change? First of all, when the trim goes up, there are some changes. Right now, what we are looking at is the premium trim. The premium trim cannot have electronic suspension from the start, and the tilting steering wheel. This is included as standard. Exclusive is included. Consumers might find it a bit unfamiliar, but when we talk about glass as a standard, what do you think? Has laminated glass been included or not? In fact, they emphasize only that part a lot. But that's not all.

Even if it looks like glass, is this UV-blocking glass or just regular glass? Therefore, it is divided into many categories. In the case of premium, UV-blocking glass is only installed on the front, and the glass on the 1st and 2nd rows, and then the glass on the back is just regular glass. This is where it transitions to the exclusive mid trim, but UV-blocking glass goes all the way to the back in the 1st and 2nd rows. We clearly divide the grades. Also, there are reasons for inserting double bonding like this. Of course, it is essential to put elements that consumers would like, but in the case of Grandeur, how about that? It is a frameless door, but wind noise and road noise inevitably come in. Frameless doors are not a structure that can be made by just anyone; realistically, it's a bit.

The unit price is higher, so we don't put in a lot, but the Grandeur is somewhat symbolic, trying to show a luxury car. So, if we divide it by grades and put in double-layered glass like exclusive glass for the premise, and if we just put in regular glass for the premium, when we list the features, there could be problems. So, I also think about why we didn't put in double-layered glass. Because dividing things like this might actually increase the unit price. And we generally consider power seats quite important. The Grandeur comes with power seats as a basic feature. And if you choose the premium choice option, it switches from artificial leather to genuine leather. This would cost around 1 million won. The usual option price for the Grandeur is around 1 million won.

Because, you see, rather than selecting each item individually, when you choose the Premium Choice, it comes with options like natural leather seats, power trunk, and so on, all bundled together. Then, the first-row ventilated seats are also included in this Premium Choice. Nowadays, if you look at other new cars in general, many of them already come with ventilated seats as a standard feature. It's a bit disappointing that the Grandeur has ventilated seats tied to the Premium Choice. So, you might think there's no need to go all the way up just for the basic 8-way power seats. However, when you move up to the Exclusive, you get 18-way adjustment in 18 different directions, and it includes the Ergo Motion seat. This Ergo Motion seat is an option that doesn't even come with the Premium, it's that kind of option. These are the configurations included, and on top of that, if you choose the Calligraphy...

As we move forward, the welcome light comes on. We showed you the welcome light at that time. Electric seats are often found in the driver's seat, but in the passenger seat, they are frequently missing. So, one might think that the Grandeur's passenger seat does not have an electric seat, but that's not the case. The passenger seat also has an electric seat, but the level differs. For example, in the driver's seat, it has four ways; it only moves in four directions and has buttons for adjusting the seat. This device is called a walk-in device. This is exclusive and goes to the next level. The passenger seat also has an 8-way seat with the addition of a walk-in device. Moreover, now, if you sit inside, how does it feel? Something is different, right? The touch air conditioning is missing. Currently, if you look, it is operated with buttons in an analog way. Some people actually prefer this. Of course, it gives a more sophisticated interior feel.

Something a bit luxurious, this touch air conditioner suits well. Actually, this can vary depending on the person, but this is also an option. When you go to a Hyundai Motor showroom, there are a lot of Grandeur displayed because it's the main car. Each one is on display. So, it's necessary to see what options are in the car. I know why I'm talking about this. We are also at the Dasan branch right now. In the 25-year model Grandeur at this Dasan branch, there is a missing option compared to other cars we think of. The Platinum option is missing. This costs 1.29 million won. What is Platinum? Most Grandeur display cars have this option. It's a 10.25-inch touch air conditioner tied to Platinum. Not only this, but also Built-in Cam 2 and Interactive.

The ambient board is tied together with the door trim, right? Here, on the top of the door trim, here, here, here, here, here, now the ambient mood light comes in. It comes in when the ignition is turned on. It comes in with regular gasoline or such, but if it is integrated, the light comes out. That's the lower type. If it's integrated, there are situations like warning lights, speeding cameras, or when warning lights come on, or in situations like this, the lights turn on together. Now, the class pad is also integrated with the hybrid. When I explained this 25 years ago, why am I talking like this, saying it's integrated with the hybrid. If you see it like this, it's integrated with the hybrid. I'll explain it again politely because some people misunderstand it. Augmented reality navigation is tied up to 19-inch wheels. That's why this platinum option is how it is.

The amount of 1,290,000 won may feel a bit burdensome when you see it, but essential options are bundled together. If you view it this way, Platinum requires selecting both Premium and Exclusive as options. However, when it comes to calligraphy, the Platinum option is included by default. Therefore, what I always mention is that realistically, we need to compromise. How about looking at it now? As each one is added, you may think, Oh, Exclusive seems better. Because even if you add all the options to Premium, things like lane departure warning glass are not included. There must be a clear difference in these options. For just tens of thousands of won more, you can include options that cannot even be selected in the trim below. These will be included by default. So, when you add options, the amount increases.

Going up to a higher grade model mainly results in a price difference. So, what happens then? Of course, it is more reasonable to go for calligraphy than adding one or two exclusive options. So, without even realizing it, the structure is designed in a way that you have no choice but to choose the model above. Therefore, now we are showing you a lot of basic models, which are like empty models. But actually, when you see just regular genuine leather, it's also the first time you've seen it in the Grandeur. The texture of this leather pattern definitely has a premium choice or not, and the difference is significant. The size also differs. Artificial leather is not bad, but as humans, we tend to be a bit greedy. This one here has exactly two options added: Hyundai Smart Sense 1 and then Premium Choice. So, it includes ventilated seats and a power trunk, and even fingerprint recognition.

Digital key 2 includes various features. You might think that all the options are included, but there are still more to be added here, such as panoramic sunroof, parking assist. Parking assist includes surround view. Since the Grandeur is a relatively large-sized car, as you move forward, the surround option becomes necessary. Not only that, there are side warnings here. Other cars usually have this as a standard feature. However, it's missing as an option in the Grandeur. Honestly, I thought I saw it wrong. Isn't this supposed to be a standard feature as well? Lane keeping assist 2 is included as standard, but leaving out the rear side warning as an option, I couldn't quite understand that. Another thing is the power trunk. Looking at the power trunk now, it's a bit disappointing.

The Grandeur sells very well, so we paid some attention to the basic configuration, but it is designed in a way that additional options must be added. I only needed an electric trunk, but how about now? It is bundled in the premium choice, so you have to pay over 1.1 million won additionally for these options to be included. Of course, the options are already well configured, so only essential options are included. That's why in fact, when most people buy a Grandeur, they end up adding all the options. Now, what has changed? Well, there isn't much difference in terms of exterior design like chrome moldings between premium and exclusive. It should be more like calligraphy, maybe when you choose black ink, the emblem and lettering change a bit. That's about the only difference. Other than that, everything is included as standard.

I think if you look at it this way, in the case of A pillar fillers, B pillar fillers, and loops at the top, they are made of fabric. Of course, depending on your preference, you may like or feel a bit disappointed about these things. Personally, I have driven many good cars, including basic models, and through many experiences, I am satisfied. When something is good, it feels luxurious. However, realistically, there are many times when you wonder if it is necessary to have all these features. The Carnival I am driving now doesn't have many options. It lacks a heads-up display and memory seats, so every time I adjust the seats, I have to readjust them. These inconveniences bothered me a bit, but they are not essential. You can live without them. In the past, none of these convenience features were available.

Of course, if you have the desire and the leisure, it is natural to go for the options. However, even if you don't, it's not really a problem. Currently, we are driving a basic Grandeur priced at 3,768 dollars. It has heated seats as a standard feature, as well as ventilation ducts, a steering wheel remote control, and a door closer. It feels more like a steel wheel than a diamond-cutting wheel. But how about the Grandeur? I keep thinking that even with just the basics, it's not bad. Looking at 3,768 dollars, you might think that it lacks too many options to be worth it, but as it changed to the 25th year model, the price increased by 250,000 dollars. Oh, because it's the 25th year model, the price went up by 250,000 dollars. Even though the price went up by 250,000 dollars, I feel like they paid a lot of attention to the option configuration this time. That's why even without adding many options, the basic model is not bad at all.

I have some thoughts. Today, I showed you the basic model of the Kkangtong Grandeur. Please leave a lot of comments on which basic model you would like to see, and we will find and show you that basic model again. We have many more basic models prepared for you. We will find and show you the Casperadio. Let's finish the video, and let's go into the music.
