Currently
in its second generation, the front-wheel drive Hyundai Azera sedan offers motorists
even more features for 2015 with exterior and interior design enhancements
combined with new standard safety technologies. Newly standard features include
illuminated door sill plates, a hands-free Smart Trunk opener, an eight-inch
color LCD navigation display, and a new center stack design.
Available
in Base and Limited trim levels, exterior changes include a redesigned grille,
front and rear bumper fascia; new 18-inch alloy wheel design; and newly
available LED fog lights on the Limited model. In addition, the Limited model
includes features from last year's Premium package as standard equipment.
The
2015 Hyundai Azera sedan represents an
advanced approach to the traditional premium sedan segment by delivering a
powerful yet efficient powertrain, modern design, and luxury features. Azera continues to offer
customers the highest levels of luxury, performance, and efficiency, all
brought together in an innovative design.
Power
for the Azera sedan is
generated by a 3.3L V6 GDI engine. Torque is communicated to the pavement
through a six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC manual shift mode.
The Azera rides on a high
tensile steel unibody. Control hardware consists of a MacPherson strut front
suspension, coil springs and a 24 mm diameter front stabilizer bar. The
sophisticated multi-link independent rear suspension enables precise geometry
for a premium ride and engaging handling prowess.
The
capabilities of the advanced front and rear-suspension are maximized through
Sachs Amplitude Selective Dampers (ASD), allowing tuning flexibility at smaller
damper displacements. The ASD suspension provides: improved ride comfort with more
body/wheel control, increased driving comfort without compromised handling, and
optimized road surface contact.
Azera's
elegant look continues inside to the passenger cabin where Hyundai has created an
upscale ambiance, thanks to a flow-through center fascia and instrument panel.
These flowing surfaces complement the exterior design and wrap around the
driver and passengers. The Hyundai sedan
offers luxurious appointments that rival the finest premium competitor brands.
It offers a roomy cabin with more than 45 inches of legroom and 40 inches of
headroom for front-seat passengers.
Special
attention has been paid to other interior details, such as an optional
panoramic sunroof, which allows more natural light into the cabin and 3D Carbon
interior accents. Ambient lighting compliments the vehicle's modern appearance.
The Azera
offers first class seating assignments for all passengers. Leather seating
surfaces are standard. A ten-way power driver and eight-way front passenger's
seats are standard equipment. The driver's seat has an optional cushion
extension and an integrated memory system for the seat, steering wheel and side
mirrors. Azera's climate
and seat temperature controls keep occupants in total comfort. Optional
ventilated front seats fans in the front seat back and bottom cushions
circulate air through the perforated leather seats. In addition both heated
front/rear seating and a cooled glove box are standard.
