Overview

The 2016 Hyundai Azera makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. 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 Toyota Avalon. 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 6.2 seconds, the Azera maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. Hyundai offers the Azera in 6 stunning colors, with the Caspian Black being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Available in two trims, the Premium trim holds better value for the price than the base trim. For a price difference of $6000, it adds adaptive cruise control, xenon headlights with automatic high-beam control, LED fog lights, with stop-start capability, lane-departure and forward-collision warning systems and so much more.
