Overview

The 2017 Hyundai Azera Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan. With 2 trims on offer, the Hyundai Azera has a base MSRP of $34,100, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $39,300, competing directly with the Kia Cadenza, the Nissan Maxima, and the Chevrolet Impala. Only a 3.3L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 293 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.8 seconds, the Azera maintains a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG. Hyundai offers the Azera in 9 stunning colors, with the Pewter Grey Metallic being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice

The base trim of the 2017 Hyundai Azera carries all the necessary amenities required for a great driving experience. Some of the standard features include dual-zone climate control, heated side mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, heated and ventilated front seats with the power-adjustable feature, etc. We would suggest buyers shortlist this base trim unless one’s looking for features like adaptive cruise control, forward collision assist, rear parking sensors, etc which are available in the top-line Limited trim.
