Hyundai USA also confirmed today official pricing of the redesigned Azera. The underrated luxury sedan is priced at $32,000.
If you fit it with Technology Package, it will be $36,000. The new Azera is an extremely well-equipped car, and with that price, it’s the bargain of the century. It now looks good as well, and the only downer might be the way it drives, which is very comfortable, but not particularity inspiring and enjoyable.
The 2012 Azera is powered by the new, more efficient Lambda II 3.3L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engine, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC. The powertrain is rated at 293 horsepower, while delivering best-in-class fuel economy of 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined.
