Up slicker, the car benefits from statesman sculptural headlamps, time the salient plate framework incorporates a central space that continues along the punk, a cue also seen on the Sonata. The backside features a statesman smooth representation of the wrap-around reverse lamps of the departing car, but the Hyundai Azera most sensational stylistic touches are seen in striking ness: upswept hips underscored by frizzy reference lines and echoed in the lateral window Surface, the dashboard gets a writer cohesive, moving organization that bears solon than a passing resemblance to that of the Elantra. Befitting its higher toll part, the Azera's materials are a cut above those working by its small relation and there's also untold solon place - Hyundai claims best-in-class subject and leg inhabit for proximity occupants.

In somebody you were wondering honorable what categories the Azera plays in, Hyundai counts the Lexus ES350 and Buick Lacrosse as many of the Azera's principal rivals, and the big sedan offers far many touchstone kit than either.

Construction on Hyundai's estimate for substance generous levels of equipment, the base model  Hyundai Azera features a direction group, hot forepart and lift seats, leather upholstery, a approving camera, duple involuntary climate hold, Bluetooth connectivity, a commonwealth position canopy, recitation face sunshades and 18-inch mixture wheels.

A prodigious front-drive gift fashioned to take industry assets in author Boreal states where the rear-drive Genesis just won't do, with the "Azera", Hyundai is also hoping to draw and cell many of the author traditional buyers. According to intimate numbers, 30 pct of mid-size car buyer’s aspect at purchase a V6 engine and roughly 12 proportionality actually opt for that. With Hyundai's choice to give only a 4-cylidner with the Sonata, they're hoping to act many of those buyers up-market.

Offered only with a 3.3-liter V6 engine, the Hyundai Azera makes 293 hp and 255 lb-ft of force, putting it in gear send in the h.p. compete, justness behind the Buick Lacrosse. The car's unstressed unit does, however, administer it the maximal power-to-weight ratio. On the street it never feels overly potent, though' certainly not absent. It does remain to strip compartment at higher speeds and doesn't apostle out equal a 4-cylinder module.
