The Hyundai Azera is a mid-size luxury sedan introduced for the 2006 model year. It replaces the XG350 and shares many of its components with the Sonata.
Being a step up from the Sonata, the Azera is priced from $24,995 for a base model, $27,495 for the Limited version, and $29,995 for the Ultimate Package. The flagship Azera will be the most luxurious sedan Hyundai is selling outside of Korea, until 2007, when an all-new rear wheel drive luxury sedan is released under the Hyundai name to test the waters for a future luxury brand.
The Azera has a four-wheel independent suspension (multilink in the rear) and uses the company's new 3.8 L Lambda V6, which produces 263 hp (196 kW). The power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission with "Shiftronic" manual gear selection. Hyundai claims 6.5 s to accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) and a top speed of 146 mph (235 km/h). Fuel economy of 19 mpg (12.4 L/100 km) in the city and 28 mpg (8.4 L/100 km) on the highway is expected.
The Limited trim level adds 17 in alloy wheels, heated leather trimmed seats, and a power sun shade in the rear window. The Ultimate Package includes an enhanced audio system with 10 speakers and a 6 CD changer, a power sunroof, telescopic steering wheel, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
The Azera was named "Best New Family Car (over CAN$35,000)" in the 2006 Canadian Car of the Year awards.
It also was awarded by Car and Driver as having more rear legroom than a BMW 7 Series. [ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Hyundai Azera ]
