2008 Hyundai Azera Overview

Introduction

The Azera is Hyundai's representative in the full-size, near-luxury sedan market. The Azera mixes comfort, interior space, and a host of features for a very respectable price.

The front-wheel drive Hyundai Azera has two trims: the GLS, and the Limited. The GLS is powered by a 234-hp 3.3-liter V6 engine; the Limited is powered by a 3.8-liter 263-hp V6. Both engines are mated to a Shiftronic five-speed automatic transmission. The GLS offers substantial standard equipment such as: traction and stability control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, 17-inch alloy wheels, eight airbags, power front seats with active head restraints, simulated wood interior accents, automatic air conditioning, satellite radio, cruise control, power mirrors, windows and door locks with remote keyless entry. The Limited adds: a power sunroof, heated exterior mirrors with integral turn-signals, heated front seats, leather seat trim, an upgraded audio system, and a power rear windshield blind.

For 2008, Hyundai removes the midlevel SE trim, and the Azera gains more standard features.
