The
2014 Hyundai Azera
ranks 9 out of 10 Affordable Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis
of published reviews and test drives of the Hyundai Azera, as well as reliability
and safety data.
Automotive
writers are impressed with the 2014 Hyundai Azera’s stylish, comfortable
interior, but are disappointed with its lackluster handling.
The Azera is powered
by a V6 engine, and test drivers note that it delivers fairly strong, linear
acceleration. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and earns praise
for its smooth shifts, though some say it shifts a bit slowly. The 2014 Azera gets an
EPA-estimated 19/29 mpg city/highway, which is on par for an affordable large
car. Test drivers say the Azera has a
comfortable ride on smooth roads, but that the ride can be harsh on rough
pavement. Critics don’t think the Azera is as fun to drive as
other cars in the class, and they write that it has numb steering and leans
noticeably while cornering. They do think the Azera has strong brakes.
Critics
write that the Hyundai Azera has very sophisticated
interior styling, though some note that a closer inspection reveals a number of
cheap-feeling plastic materials. As with most affordable large cars, automotive
journalists write that the Azera’s front and rear seats are comfortable and
very roomy. They add that the back seat offers a generous amount of legroom and
plenty of headroom for tall passengers. At 16.3 cubic feet, the Azera’s trunk
size is on par for the class. The 2014 Hyundai Azera comes standard
with leather upholstery, power-adjustable, heated front seats, a 6-inch LCD
display, a rearview camera, proximity key, push-button start, a six-speaker
audio system, Bluetooth, a USB/iPod port, satellite radio and dual-zone
automatic climate control. Available features include navigation, an 8-inch
touch-screen display, a 14-speaker Infinity audio system, rear parking sensors
and a panoramic sunroof. Test drivers think the audio, climate and navigation
controls in the Azera are user-friendly, and they say the Infinity audio system
provides exceptional sound quality.
