Hyundai’s all-new near-luxury sedan, the Azera, has been received with imperative commend. Consumers and critics are calling the Hyundai Azera the very best quality, most luxurious Hyundai to ever appear in the highly competitive US market. A recent award from the car specialist group, AutoPacific has underscored what many are quickly learning: the Hyundai Azera is an automobile that leads in customer satisfaction. None of this is a surprise to Hyundai, but it may be as surprise for you. Read on for a look at Hyundai’s darling near-luxury sedan.

Near-luxury, you say? Yes, it is a class reserved for cars that have many luxury appointments and high engineering standards without the price. Retailing at only over $27,000, the Hyundai Azera is a bargain when compared to similar automobiles from BMW and Lexus, but not really the engineering and technological wonder of these 2 competitors, however. Yet, the Hyundai Azera is offering lots for consumers at prices well below that of its would-be competitors.

So, what has Hyundai dished up with the Azera? Plenty:

If you like performance, then the Hyundai Azera delivers. Try this on for size : a 3.8L V6 that produces a big a powerful 263 hp and 255 pounds of torque; terrific for a car of its size.

If you like speed, the Hyundai Azera beats out the Toyota Avalon by registering a 0 to sixty time of 6.5 seconds. Compare that to 6.9 for the Avalon.

If you like genuineness, then the Azera’s real wood and aluminum trim will encourage you. No plastic trim, no faux wood…the Hyundai Azera incorporates Lexus-like luxury into its cabin.

If you like cabin comfort, the Hyundai Azera’s lengthy feature list is sure to please. A leather-wrapped wheel, power front seats, a 60/40-split back seat, twin automated climate control, and a CD/MP3 player are a few of the creature comforts offered with the SE. Order the head of the line Premium Azera and you get a rear window sunscreen, a 6-disc Infinity sound system, adjustable pedals, rain-sensing wipers, folding side mirrors, and masses more. Keep in mind that even with all of these “extras” the price of the Azera holds well below the $30,000 level.

Styling is all new for the Azera which is on a stretched version of the Sonata platform. The Hyundai Azera replaces the dated XG350, an auto keen on luxury but disheartening on engineering.

Yes, the Hyundai Azera boldly goes where no U.S. marketed Hyundai has gone before. This is good news for a leader and an automobile that will certainly cause Toyota and Honda to stand up and take notice.
