The third-generation Grandeur series (badged as the Hyundai XG300 / XG350 in North American and European export markets) ran from 1998 to 2005. It represented Hyundai's first independently developed full-size executive sedan. The XG featured frameless door glass, plush leather seats, real wood interior accents, and smooth ride isolation.

Powertrains consisted of Sigma V6 gasoline engines including 2.5-liter, 3.0-liter (192 hp), and 3.5-liter (197 hp) variants, paired exclusively with a five-speed H-Matic automatic transmission with manual shift mode. A 2002 facelift updated the front grille mesh and revised rear trunk lighting.
