2011 Hyundai Azera Sedan Review

2011 Hyundai Azerbaijan is a full-size sedan that offered the GLS and Limited trim levels.

GLS is the basic 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, heated outside mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, eight-way driver and four-way power front passenger seats, tilt and telescopic steering column back seat 60/40- split, wood-grain interior, full power accessories, auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and a six speaker stereo with in-dash six-CD changer, satellite TV, iPod and auxiliary audio / USB audio interface .

Azerbaijani Limited includes all of the above plus the larger engine, power-folding mirrors, power rear sunshade, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, memory function for driver's seat, wood steering wheel and 10-speaker Infinity stereo. Limited buyers can choose the ultimate navigation package, which adds a navigation system and updating the 12-speaker Infinity surround sound system. Unfortunately, the choice of this package will remove a six-disc CD charger and two additional audio inputs. Bluetooth is an independent alternative.

The Azera Limited sports a 3.8-liter V6 that produces 283 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is only slightly less than 19 mpg highway mpg and 22 mpg city/27 combined. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on all Azera.

Security

Standard safety equipment for the 2011 Hyundai Azera includes traction control, stability control, active head restraints, front side airbags, side airbags in the rear side curtain airbags and full-length side. Antilock disc brakes are standard and manage for the full-size Azera to a stop at an impressive 118 feet from 60 mph in testing.

The Azera has not been evaluated by using the new government, the most difficult procedures in 2011 crash tests. His notes from 2010 (which are not comparable with the tests, 2011) leads to a rating of four stars for frontal impacts and five stars for side protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Azera highest score of "good" for front passenger protection in compensation of collisions and a rating of "acceptable" (the highest rating of a second) in trials side impact.

Interior Design and Special Features

For 2011 Hyundai Azera surrounds the occupants with a level of luxury that is typical for a car costing far more. Quality look and feel of faux wood and metallic finishes complement the majestic interior design that makes many soft-touch surfaces. Registration for the leather further improves the high-end accommodations. We would however note that this year we passed an Azera 2007 during a prolonged test, we noticed that the light of our test car seats beige were susceptible to wear and discoloration of the black leather may be desirable.

Azerbaijan's high seating position of the head may limit the space for the long drivers, but outside of the cabin is very spacious. The rear seats offer plenty of comfort for adult-sized lot of legroom and headroom for passengers, as well. All-around visibility is quite good thanks to a low roof pillars and thin cap. A very generous luggage capacity 16.6 cubic feet of cargo, and a wide opening and easier loading. When you need to take larger items, 60/40-split folding rear seat load capacity even further.

Guide

Despite the budget-friendly price, 2011 Hyundai Azera offers an impressive amount of refinement. Road and wind noise is minimal, allowing for quiet conversation, even at highway speeds, and acceleration is strong with the Limited V6.

Even if Azerbaijan can not have something that looks like a sport (even compared to the Buick LaCrosse), we are sure that most drivers will find this a great Hyundai more than adequate. The management has a soft side, but the car feels predictable and secure around turns, and steering feel is quite accurate.
