2011 Hyundai Azera Reviews

Hyundai Azera

Hyundai Azera Reviews-Buick's no longer about softly tuned suspensions and effortless acceleration--but cars like the Hyundai Azera still prize those attributes, and pay homage to their American ancestors with cushy comfort and plain looks.

The Hyundai Azera still represents a perfectly fine driving experience, of a kind, and represents a huge value to shoppers who need lots of interior room, good fuel economy and an extensive warranty.

The front-drive Hyundai Azera is conservative, but not to a fault. The sheet metal’s tidy and fault-free; the interior's a bit less cautious, without being the least bit provocative. The trump card in the Azera's hand is cabin space. The back seat's huge, so huge an adult male can cross leg over knee, seated behind another adult male, and barely make contact with the front seat back.

The Hyundai Azera is a full-size luxury sedan offering from Hyundai. Despite the increase in power, new EPA fuel economy estimates for the Hyundai Azera GLS are improved to 20 mpg city / 28 mpg highway.

The Hyundai Azera Limited delivers more performance due to its 3.8-liter DOHC V6 engine, which was also improved and delivers 283 horsepower and 263lb-ft of torque. The Hyundai Azera comes standard with dual front automatic climate controls, solar control glass, power seats for driver and front passenger, as well as wood grain and metal grain interior accents. An AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio/CD/MP3 audio system that includes a four-channel, 172-watt internal amplifier and six speakers comes standard in the Hyundai Azera GLS. An available Infinity audio system includes a 7-channel, 315-watt amplifier with an in-dash six-disc CD changer and 10 speakers (standard in Limited trim levels).

The Hyundai Azera with Premium Package adds leather seating surfaces, heated front seats and a power sunroof to an already loaded standard equipment package.

The Navigation Package includes the LG navigation system and premium 605-watt Infinity Logic 7 surround sound audio system. The six-disc CD changer is replaced by the navigation system.

It also offers a power tilt and slide sunroof, power adjustable tilt and telescopic steering wheel, power adjustable pedals, integrated memory system (power driver seat, exterior mirrors, and power tilt and telescopic steering wheel), wood grain steering wheel and door pulls, and rain-sensing wipers.

Inside, the 2011 Hyundai Azera is huge, with front-seat occupants finding ample head and leg room, and back seat passengers finding even more. Materials, fit and finish in the cabin are very good considering the Azera's price and fair even taken in the broader scope of the aspiration luxury market. Unlike many of Hyundai's other vehicles, the Hyundai Azera isn't exactly bristling with high-tech options and equipment.
