The Hyundai Dynasty is a premium executive sedan that debuted in 1996.[2] Manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company, features of the Dynasty included electronically controlled suspension, dual climate control, and power memory seats (front and rear). In order to differentiate the Dynasty from its platform-shared smaller Grandeur, Hyundai used a different badge (stylized D logo) for Dynasty.

The Dynasty was produced in Ulsan, South Korea and it was discontinued in 2005.[3] The Dynasty was the top level flagship at its introduction, but it was a front wheel drive vehicle. It had a higher level of luxury equipment and was available in extended length versions over the more basic Grandeur. When the joint luxury flagship Mitsubishi Proudia/Hyundai Equus was introduced, the flagship designation was then removed from the Dynasty and sales suffered as a result with cancellation.

With the introduction of a separate rear-drive luxury channel launched called Genesis Motors, the market position formally held by the front-wheel drive Dynasty is being replaced by the Hyundai Aslan.
