The Hyundai Azera is a mid-size/full-size sedan manufactured and marketed globally by Hyundai Motor Company since model year 1986. The Azera has evolved through four generations with intermediate restylings, and is marketed under various nameplates worldwide. The "New Azera" came in various trim levels and 4 engine variations (4-cylinder 2.0L and three V6 engines (2.5L, 3L, and 3.5L). The Korea based Hyundai's Azera became a huge success following the first generation Azera it replaced. However, the same model Mitsubishi marketed in Japan was perfunctory eventually leading Mitsubishi to end the product earlier than expected.
The Azera had been the top Hyundai model outside of Korea, China, and the Middle East — until the 2008 introduction of the Genesis. The Azera has a four-wheel independent suspension (multi-link in the rear) and uses the company's new 3.8 L Lambda V6, which produces 265 hp (196 kW). The power is sent to the front wheels through a Six-speed automatic transmission with a "Shiftronic" manual gear selection. Hyundai claims 6.0 s to accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) and a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Fuel economy of 19 mpg (12.4 L/100 km) in the city and 28 mpg (8.4 L/100 km) on the highway is expected. The 2.2 VGT CRDI diesel engine from the Santa Fe is available in Europe. And also 2.4 Theta and 2.7 Mu engines are available in South Korea. The Limited trim level adds 17 in alloy wheels, heated front seats, leather seat-upholstery, and a power sun shade in the rear window. The Ultimate Package includes an enhanced audio system with 10 speakers and a 6 CD changer, a power sunroof, powered tilt-telescopic steering wheel, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
