Overview

The 2011 Hyundai Azera is a midsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $25,495. For that price, it mainly competes with the Toyota Camry, the Kia Optima, and the Chevrolet Malibu. Between 2 trims, the Azera offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.3L V6 capable of making 260 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 283 horsepower-making 3.8L V6 available as well. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Azera reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.1 seconds with the more powerful engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Azera can manage a combined fuel economy between 22 and 23 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Azera comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2011 Hyundai Azera is a spacious and premium option in its segment. There are two trims offered and we recommend getting the higher-end Limited trim that comes with a better feature set and a more powerful engine. It comes equipped with features including power-folding mirrors, a power rear sunshade, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, driver-seat memory functions, a wood-trimmed steering wheel, and a 10-speaker Infinity stereo.
