In 2007, the second-generation Granbird was introduced with the Parkway model. The Granbird and the
Hyundai Universe shared a dedicated commercial vehicle chassis. It underwent a first refresh in 2011. The second refresh of the Granbird, the Silkroad model, debuted at the Seoul Motor Show in 2015. The previously used 410-horsepower Q engine was replaced with the H engine, increasing power to 425 horsepower. For the transmission, buyers could choose between Hyundai Dymos' 5-speed manual/1-speed reverse or ZF's 6-speed manual/1-speed reverse. Unlike the Daewoo FX or the Hyundai Universe, it was initially not available with an automatic transmission. However, with the release of the Euro 6 model in 2015, an automatic transmission became an optional feature. Seats installed in the vehicle could be chosen between Hanil Interior seats used by Hyundai and Myungbo seats used by Daewoo Bus. The standard seats were Myungbo, but Hanil seats could be installed for an additional fee during initial import. In 2010, a facelift model called New Granbird Innovation was unveiled and officially launched on September 20 of the same year. Only the exterior of the HD grade was changed, while the interiors of both SD and HD grades were redesigned. Starting from July 2012, the cassette player was replaced with a CD audio system, the front garnish and main door system were improved, and ELR seatbelts for all passenger seats plus a door buzzer were added. These updates led to the release of the 2013 New Granbird Innovation. With the stricter Euro 6 emission regulations in December 2014 and 2015, the engine was changed to the H430 Powertech 440PS, an AdBlue (urea) tank was added, side marker lamps were installed, and the vehicle received major exterior (LED fog lamps, LED DRLs) and interior updates. A reversing warning sound was also added. In 2017, AEBS (Autonomous Emergency Braking System) and LDWS (Lane Departure Warning System) were introduced. From 2019, three-point seat belts were applied to deluxe seats. The ZF Astronic 12-speed AMT, which was previously an option only for the H engine, was discontinued, and a ZF Ecolife 6-speed automatic transmission was newly offered. This 6-speed automatic used button-type controls and was compatible with all engines. The model was discontinued in July 2020 following the release of the fully redesigned Granbird Super Premium. 뉴 그랜버드 그린필드 2013년식.png|Kia Granbird Greenfield (Pre-Facelift) Gyeongnam Express Kia Granbird Parkway Motorcoach.jpg|Kia Granbird Parkway Pre-facelift 2013040622_Kia_Granbird.png|Kia Granbird Bluesky (Pre-Facelift) KIA New Grandbird Innovation Sunshine.JPG|Kia Granbird Sunshine (Pre-Facelift KIA_그랜버드_실크로드.JPG|Kia Granbird Silkroad (Pre-Facelift)

In 2010, minor changes were made to the driver’s seat and other parts, and in July 2012, chrome garnish was added. Due to its high price, it was not widely adopted.

Although it is also available for express and intercity bus use nationwide, its high price led many operators to opt for alternative models such as the Parkway, Sunshine, and 2nd generation Blue Sky. Even after the facelift of the Granbird, the model trims remained the same, with the Sunshine trim being released for first-class express buses. In 2017, a premium express bus model based on the Silk Road was introduced. Officially named simply Silk Road, it is also referred to as the Premium Gold Express. However, the launch was delayed to February 2017 due to the discovery of an electrical overload defect in November 2016, just before its scheduled premium express bus service. The Silk Road Premium officially began sales on February 23, 2017, starting with deliveries to charter bus companies.
