The Azera, or Grandeur, is one of those under appreciated cars in the family sedan segment that really deserve a lot more attention than what it’s getting. That is especially the case with the new, 2018 Hyundai Azera which is a thorough improvement over its predecessors.
The new Azera has all the good things that made previous generations of the car brilliant, i.e. spaciousness, quality, awesome features, and fantastic engines coupled with almost flawless ride and comfort. But it also addresses some of the issues that kept those old cars in the shadows, namely iffy design and less than savory handling.
